Conditions for December 21, 2024

Special Delivery! Just shy of 20cm of new snow fell on top of a busy night for Chanse as he fired up our new snow gun “The Halo”. To try and take advantage of these cold nights we are going to attempt to lay a good blanket of snow around the Chalet, Teaching Area and Recreational Downhill. It is an exciting addition to our fleet of equipment.

Trails will be in excellent condition although of course it will be a bit soft with all this new snow. You may find it gets a little drifted in the open areas. Tim and Chanse have been working away at the trails with the snowmobile and ginzue to regroom the skate lane and track.

Now I don’t want to hear; but Kelly it’s chilly out there! Well, layer up folks because I can guarantee you will be happy you got out on the trails today. In the trees it will be nicely protected. As Dad always said there is no bad weather only bad clothing choices. And maybe it’s worth a visit to the ProShop for an extra layer or two 😋

Everything is open except for the Woolner Loop*

*Today there is a fun event put on by the Highlands Trailblazers, called the Yuletide Blast. If you are interested in joining in on a fun little race this morning all you need is a trail pass or Season’s Pass plus a $5 fee. Visit the Big Grey Box at 9AM to sign up. For the race Teal’s Tango will be closed from 10 to noon.

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.

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.
