It is 8 degrees at 7 am. Please dress for the weather today. Another very crispy cold day. Bundle up with a buff and your good gloves! Weather is showing snow arriving again mid-day and late day with some higher winds. New mittens have been quite popular in the shop this week. Classic and skating will be adventurous when the snow comes but quite good. We received about 2 more inches of new snow overnight (9+ in 48 hours!) with some wind drifts in places. Skiing will be slow today with the track soft and the fresh snow. Skating will be good but soft and slow. Classic will be quite good all day. Come share the Joy of skiing in fresh snow! Colder temperatures mean higher performance blue wax and blue cold powders should be running well. We are open 9-5 daily. Please continue to be careful and ski within your abilities. Ski with awareness through the day and into the afternoon and keep an eye on the weather. We have 12km of skiing groomed this morning. We’ve started some trail prep work on the farm, but please stay off until it’s posted open. 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! We’ve groomed the 3k, 5k and Armstrong. The dog loop is open. It is frozen in the lower part. We’ve plotted out a shortened loop for the WCS Classic citizens race on Saturday. Summer uses created quite a few water challenges we need to work around. Wax cards and all of the waxes from basic to super fast are in the shop. Go play in the new snow, make a snow angel off the trail, share the Joy and enjoy the day!

Tuesday night brought big wind (50 mph gust on course) but not big snow. John and Brian groomed Mountain Dell Wednesday morning. Skate cleaned up nicely, and might be the right call for a morning or midday outing. Still thin, so best skis not recommended. Lollipop stem and top are becoming particularly troublesome, with thin conditions and evidence of people skating through to pavement. Main and Mitten loops are the best bet until we get more coverage. More coverage is forecasted to happen Wednesday afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Good Morning,

We groomed for skate and classic on our 1.1K loop on the lower track this morning. The skate lanes groomed up really nicely and the snow coverage is good. Classic lanes are groomed, but are a little thin in some areas. We had about 4 inches of fresh snow overnight! We expect to see much more coming over the next few days! Please stay on the groomed trails.

Day passes are $5!!

Have a great day!

No new grooming today. Skate deck and classic tracks are in great shape. 13° at 8:30am, high of 23°. Looks like a big snowstorm will roll in this afternoon and stick around for several days.

Soldier Hollow

We have about 7km of beautifully groomed blown snow and hope that this next round of storms will allow us to open even more terrain ! 1-2 inches of possible accumulation today so it should be a nice day for a snowy ski.

Mountain Dell

Main, Mitten, Lollipop, Boomer, Wiggle Room and Kids Cutoff all received a refresh for skate. Monday evening. Low tide conditions prevented resetting classic track. The classic track that does remain is acceptable given the current snowpack, but keep an eye out for completely bare areas. This will hopefully change in the coming days. Conditions remain thin throughout the course and caution is recommended. Your best skis are not recommended. Come up and enjoy some long awaited sliding at Mtn Dell.

Be sure to thank our incredible groomers when you see them. Lou, Roch, Matias, Mark, Todd, Joaqiun, Camille, Candela and Julian 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.

Fairview received a bit more snow overnight and again this morning. Plan was to drag the track with the G2 for skating and also set a classic track. We had electrical issues with the G2 tooth bar which waylaid that plan so I packed the new snow and drifted snow with the roller.. Electrical problem since solved (thank you Wally Chambers!) so we have the G2 to use moving forward. Today skating should be fine on the rolled track; for classic you will need to make your own tracks but that should be possible.
