9AM Update:

Chanse is back in with a full report. The short story is there are some good parts and some not so good parts.

Here is the long story.

On some sections it went to pure ice yesterday and so today on those sections the snow that is falling is having a hard time sticking to that base. Malcolm is going to be driving around on the snowmobile with the ginzue to try and catch the snow that is fall. It is continuing to snow heavily. There are a few spots that have some derby from some trees that have fallen. We don’t think you will require rocks skis.

Coming off Back Red is a bit thin and Hawberry Loop is closed. The good news out of all of this is the downhills are holding up 🤯. The only exception to that rule is Recreational Downhill. You will need to walk down that section.

If you have some free time today and you would like to do some stick flicking that would be great!

Today is only for experienced skiers.

Oh hey winter! Winter thought they would just pop back for a minute because it realized we didn’t want to be done just yet. Today will set us up nicely for the weekend.

Chanse is working his way through the trails with the Husky. We have received 10cm of snow and it continues to fall heavily. Trails will be snow covered. As you can guess yesterday did quite a bit of damage and although this is helping it is not quite fully solving the problem yet. You will find it thin around the chalet to just beyond the Sugar Shack. Up top is much better. The track starts at the top of S-Climb. The only other spot of concern we think will be coming off Look Out towards the Glacier. It will be thin so please use caution.

Admittedly it won’t be great skiing today but it will be pretty good in the coming days. But we are ready for you if you are just keen to get in some skiing today!

It will be a day of learning more as the day goes. We will update when we can on this page. Please check in at the Front Desk for all the latest information!

Green, Woolner Loop, and Teal’s Tango are closed.

PS you will noticed I didn’t put a grip wax suggestion. There is no way I am going to try and figure what is going to work with this snow and the base we had. Closest guess is a klister covered with hardwax 😋

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WALKING ON THE SKI TRAILS. Walking on the trails can do lasting damage.
