Conditions for February 17, 2023

Winter’s back folks!  Ski trails are in great shape, just in time for an awesome Family Day weekend!

It has taken a lot of work to get the trails back to how you will find them.  Chanse spent most of yesterday tilling, and re-tilling to get the very firm surface back into something we’d enjoy skiing on.  Hayden spent all day yesterday shovelling snow onto the trails, and building up the thin spots.   A few areas still remain closed for now, including the Quarry loop, the South Ten on the Woolner loop, and Teal’s Tango.

It was saddening, and maddening, to discover that people had been out walking and running on the ski, snowshoe, and fat bike trails, resulting in large post holes over long distances.  Please, under no circumstances, during the winter months, should people be on the ski trails without skis, or the snowshoe trails without snowshoes (please, no crampons/spikes either).  It takes a lot of work to try to fill the ruts and holes that are left, and reduces the enjoyment of the trails for other users.

It’s great to have some fresh snow again on our snowshoe trails, so come out and enjoy them.

Fat bike trails are closed until we get them packed down again.

We will be using today’s colder temperatures to try to blow some snow in the area outside the chalet, and leading to the parking lot.  Please avoid walking through this freshly made snow, and the snowmaking equipment.

We will be open for night skiing and snowshoeing this evening.

Our Valentine’s week “Feel the Love” sale is on until the end of the Family Day weekend, with 14% off all regularly priced in store merchandise*
