9AM Update:

Some extra news from the trails! Add Back Red and Teal’s Tango to the open list.

On Back Red there are 2 wet spots around the swamp and the last hill on Back Red is thin but not too bad. Teal’s Tango will also be thin. You may want to consider rocks skis if you are skiing those loops.

Let’s talk about this snow! It is still snowing so you will find the trails snow-covered today. Since it is snow at zero degrees you will want to make sure your skis are glided waxed today and ensure you have your Easy Glide for waxless skis. This is the type of snow we dream of. Great for snowball fights and building base!

We have decided to NOT night ski tonight. But it is looking pretty good for Friday Night.

Happy new year! And welcome back to the trails being open!🎉

We got the 5cm we were hoping for and it has made a world of difference. Chanse and Tim has been working on getting the trails going again. Everything has been regroomed with the snowmobile and ginzue. Trails are in pretty decent shape, with the Green being a bit thin. More snow is coming which will only make things better.

Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange with Millennium Loop is open.

For Night Skiing we are going to make a final call when someone has been out for a ski. We will announce it at 10AM here on the Conditions Page.

Upcoming Events

January 5 – Highlands Demo Day! Ski testing from 10 to 3, with a wax clinic open to everyone at 2:30 (focusing on glide wax). Don’t forget to check out our Snow Squall Sale rack. Find discounts from 33% to 50% off. Plus January 4 and 5 only spend $150 and get a free pair of Bliz Motion Sunglasses.

January 11 – Beer Tasting and Ski Night! Get out to enjoy a ski and come in to finish the evening with a Black Bellows Beer tasting and fully loaded charcuterie boards.

Alright people we are SUPER close to getting the trails going again. Chanse has gone around and it won’t take much to be seeing you on the trails. The snow coming today and this evening will make a huge difference. We are feeling very optimistic for the trails opening tomorrow. So do what you need to do to ensure we get the snow. Snow dance, sleep with your PJ’s on backwards, and start wishing on eyelashes. All forms of superstitions welcome.

See you tomorrow….hopefully!

In the meantime the ProShop will remain open until 2:30 today. 

Yesterday was a pretty soggy day and we haven’t been really able to get out to evaluate the trails. We are going to close the trails today and possibly tomorrow. Sounds like we have a mixed bag of precipitation so hopefully it leans more on the snow part than the rain part. We hope to have a clearer idea by tomorrow morning.

In the meantime the ProShop will remain open.

Monday to Saturday 9 to 4

Sunday 10 to 3

Hope you packed your flood pants because boy is there some rain coming. Trails will be closed today and once the rain is done we will reevaluate what and when we can open again. It might be a couple of days before we will see you on the trails again. Under no circumstances should you walk on the trails while we are closed. Thankfully there is a some snow in the forecast. As always stay tuned here for the latest updates!

In the meantime the ProShop will remain open.

Monday to Saturday 9 to 4

Sunday 10 to 3

Well we are going for it! Nothing like a little Spring Skiing in December!

Your best bet will be to come in the morning before it really starts to warm up. Trails should hold up but it will get softer as the day goes on. Chanse has regroomed with the ginzue and its looking pretty good. On days like today it is best to wax your skis, have your easy glide handy and use your skins for classic. Please Park in the North Lot today.

Everything is open! There are a few wet and thin spots down in the Woolner Loop but they are easy to work around. The main wet spot might get exposed as the day goes on.

*Trails will be closed Sunday. Store hours will be between 10 and 3.

Chanse and Tim have regroomed the skate lane with the snowmobile and ginzue. The track is still in good shape. Conditions are great. Better get out while you can! We will open for Night Skiing tonight but you will need to stay tuned for the weekend. It is looking less than ideal and we are trying to play the long game here, and sometimes that means keeping people off the trails. We will be sure to update you first thing tomorrow morning.

Everything is open! There are a few wet and thin spots down in the Woolner Loop but they are easy to work around.

We are back and conditions are looking great! It is going to be the fun type of fast today with some control. We hope this weekends forecast will turn to something a little more wintery but for now it is best to get out when the going is good!

Chanse and Tim have regroomed the skate lane with the snowmobile and ginzue with the track still in great shape from Tuesday.

Everything is open! There are a few wet spots down in the Woolner Loop. Skiers from Saturday said the spots were easy to manoeuvre around.

Night Skiing

With these great conditions before the New Year we have decided to move ahead to open Night Skiing Early! Wednesday and Friday’s we will be open until 8. Since conditions can be variable we will make a call each Wednesday and Friday morning if we feel it is safe to go ahead with Night Skiing. Best practice will be to check before you come out to ensure there hasn’t been a change through the day. We haven’t been getting a lot of sunshine lately so bring your headlamp to ensure you have light coverage on your ski.

Facility Hours

Regular Trail Hours are between 8:30 and 4:30. Please come off the trails by 4:30 so the building can close at 5. Staff will wait to ensure all vehicles have left the property safely.

The Husky finally hits the trails! Chanse was very excited to wake up to about 10cm of dense snow because that meant he wasn’t layering up to hop on the snowmobile. He was going to be kicking his shoes off a cursing around the Husky groomer. He probably would have appreciated it a little more during the -20 night but still he is a happy camper!

The good news continues! The Woolner Loop is now open 🤗. Trails are in excellent shape and it will be a fantastic day on snow today. There is one wet spot on the Woolner Loop (fun fact the Woolner Loop is basically a swamp! Which is why it takes so long for us to be able to open it) but other than that skiing will be great.

As a reminder we are closing today at 2:30, and will be closed all day tomorrow. Last trail ticket sold today will be 12:30. Our staff are really excited to be heading home to spend time with family so please be off the trails, bags packed and heading to your car by 2:30.

Chanse and Tim working away again this morning to freshen up the trails for us. The track and skate lane have been regroomed with the snowmobile and ginzue. Looks like we have some snow coming today. Although it is not snowing just yet here you will likely find the trails snow-covered later in the day! Conditions are excellent and heard from a lot of people yesterday how great the skiing was. Get out and enjoy your time on snow!
