Conditions for January 31, 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.

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

How is it the end of the January already! What an excellent month of skiing it has been. Finish off the month with another great day on the trails. Conditions are excellent with cold and firm snow, so it won’t be super fast out there. Classic will be the best out there. Hardwax wax never so easy! Chanse has gone around and regroomed everything. It is going to be cold this weekend so make sure to pack lots of layers. Just need to remind everyone that the building is for WASHROOM USE ONLY. We can’t have any changing or warm ups in the building. I know this is a challenge but we need to continue to follow Public Health Guidelines even in these cold temperatures. Ski Patrol will be around to help with any needs that might come up with the cold weather. Please respect our closing time. Open daily from 8:30 to 4:30. Open until 8 on Wednesday and Fridays for Night Skiing. 

Fat biking is closed today. The trails are making progress but they still need some work. It is still quite soft on those skinny trails! If want to help the process, snowshoeing the trails will make a difference. Remember to have at least 3.8 inch tires and 8PSI or less.

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 or drop off. 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 until lockdown is over.

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
