Good Morning! A very snowy afternoon yesterday. Almost 10 inches of wet snow during the day. The 5km, 3km and Armstrong loops will be groomed and track set today. The Farm and dog loop will be groomed after mid-day with all the new snow. Skiing will be soft, slow but beautiful today with the fresh snow. Come share the Joy of skiing! Red wax is the call today with the higher humidity and slightly warmer temperatures. Snowshoes will also be a good option today. We have rentals! We are open 9-5 daily.
Please continue to be careful and ski within your abilities. Please ride the bus, micro transit, carpool, skateboard, cycle, e-bike or walk if you can. Parking is available all around the hotel and underground but everything you can do to reduce single driver trips helps! Go play in the new snow, make a snow angel or snowperson off the trail, share the Joy and enjoy what is looking to be a beautiful day!

Be sure to thank our incredible groomers when you see them. Lou, Roch, Matias, Mark, and Todd have been working extremely hard to make your ski experience the best it can be. And they have been doing a great job. None of that track and morning groom happens by accident. And please, if you see a stick, pinecone or willow branch on the trail, flick it off the trail.
We still have a couple of spots in our Mens Beginner Skate Clinic. Every Sunday in January 12:30 pm to 2:00pm! Call us to register!
Great News Skiers! Bandanas Cafe across the hall from us is now open until 8pm daily for your after-ski beverages, pizza and pasta. Now you can ski until sundown and then have a relaxing place to snack while you’re waiting for traffic on the highway to thin out! Eat pizza and think of traffic instead of sitting in traffic and wishing for pizza.
Ski safe and be kind.
