Conditions for January 16, 2021

Our policies for GREY PLUS are now updated. Please make sure you take the time to read everything before you come for a ski. Click here. There are updates listed under Masks, Service Desk and ProShop.

We respectfully request all our trail users follow government guidelines regarding essential travel.

We have been saying it for a while now but we will be cracking down even more…A BUFF IS NOT A MASK. Please keep a clean and dry mask to wear within 50 metres of the facility.

After a meeting with public health we have needed to put more structure into place for our Trackside ordering and Ski Service. We are no longer able to do any in person ordering. This means for any items like wax, clothing or accessories you need to call us in advance to order and set up a time you will be coming to pick up. For ANY ski service; glide wax, applying grip, fixing equipment, cutting poles and so on will also need to arrange a drop off time in advance. We are able to offer same day service if you are waiting in your vehicle or out for a ski.

The Cafe will be put on hold for now.

It was trying really hard to snow last night but it only managed to drop a little bit of new snow. Let’s hope it tries a little harder this week. Conditions are excellent but it would be great to get some new snow! All trails are open except for the Woolner Loop. Chanse has taken the big machine out for a spin to put in a new track and freshen up all the trails. For classic skins (or crowns) will be the name of the game today. It is a hardwax day but the snow is noticeably different throughout the trails network. It might be challenging to find a wax that works everywhere. Overall its going to be great day on the trails!

Fat biking is open today. Conditions are excellent riding shape. Everything was regrouped this morning. Remember to have at least 3.8 inch tires and 8PSI or less.

Please respect our closing time. Open daily from 8:30 to 4:30. Open until 8 on Wednesday and Fridays for Night Skiing. 

Contact Tracing and Active Screening must be done the for everyone coming onto the property the day they will be visiting. You cannot do this the night before. You can complete a form online. We request that you complete this before you show up. Note that cell service may not be good enough to do this onsite. Once the screening and tracing is complete you will receive an email that you will need to show at our health check station before you can head out to ski. Take a screen shot of your contact tracing so it is easy to find once you arrive! If the email you receive has comes back red, it mean you have answered YES to one of the screen questions. In that case you are NOT able to ski at our location that day. If the email you receive comes back green, we will see you on the trails shortly! We have a paper copy that can be done in person as a back up.

Click here to contact trace. This must be completed every day you come skiing!

Our conditions texting update program is back! We update the conditions page every morning, but sometimes things change through the day. With this program updates will come directly to you as a text. No app download required. Your phone number will not be shared. These updates are not to replace checking the conditions page, but to update you on changes through the day. Send you cell phone number to ski@highlandsnordic.ca
