Conditions for January 25, 2023

We have had a bit more snow over the past 24 hours, so conditions are improving.  Today we’ll call it, “early season conditions”, so we still would not recommend your best pair of skis. We are hopeful that with the system bringing snow today we will be able to change that.

The trails that are currently open are the Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Millenium loops.  Hawberry has thin spots, but the inner core is skiing quite nicely.

It seems impossible to think we lost Larry 8 years ago. This year it feels like there is so much to reflect on, with so many ups and downs between building improvements, challenges with weather and ski product delivery. All of which would have driven him nuts. The fact that we spent so much money on a paint job especially would have just thrown him for the biggest loop. But when he saw how good it looked in the end I can just hear him say “Huh, I guess that does look pretty good” and would have said it was a good call.

Of course the biggest up of all is the birth of his granddaughter, which he would have been so excited for. As someone who grew up in a small family run business I feel excited for Bay to do the same. I learned so much, but also have so many fun memories. Early morning rides in the groomer when Mom had to be at work, exploring the property jumping into big snowbanks, I also may have ended up in the creek a few times tobogganing where I shouldn’t have.

Whether you knew Larry or not take the time to be outside today and think about this wonderful community he built.

We will be open for night skiing this evening.

Our snowshoe trail is also open.

Trail tickets are $15

Fat biking conditions are currently really good.  12 km of bike trail is open. We do have Louis Garneau bikes available to rent, so come out and give that a try.  Call ahead to guarantee a bike will be available for you.
