Fern delivered nearly 2’ on top of a solid 8” base. We were able to remove all trees, dig, bust & track through the drifts on the orange. The red, blue and greens are groomed with track. As grooming progresses we will widen the front side for skating. Yellows are natural today, but will be groomed this late afternoon for the weekend.
OPEN FRI-MON 9-5.

Sooo much SNOW! There is already 10” fresh powder. The snow gauge is not accurate. Extremely windy. We’ve groomed the front side, but it’s snowing 2” per hour so you can barely tell. 653 hasn’t been plowed in a couple hours. Has many drifts. We are closing today and will reevaluate late this afternoon/tomorrow morning as we see what the storm brings.

Bluebird day with the best conditions we’ve had in a decade. 6-7” solid base with another 6-7” fresh from the week. Red, blue, purple and greens are groomed with track. Red is wide for skating. Orange is finally level and beautifully groomed with track. Yellows will both be groomed to prepare for the upcoming cold snow. Yellows will be a must rally on Sunday!

7-8” total since Thursday. Just enough to cover the trails with corduroy. Not quite enough for track set yet. Skating will be nice in the morning. The front side is in good condition. We will turn our grooming focus to the orange across the road tomorrow with suitable temps in the teens.
Great news….this will be a great base as cold temps and snow is here to stay for at least the 10 day. OPEN FRIDAY-MONDAY 9-5pm.

Open today at 9am! Temps will rise into low 40’s with sunshine making today our last day till the snow returns. We have good coverage on the red (except 4th hill, but bypass is good). Blue and most greens are good. Orange is 80% skiable. Caution-Yellows are thin but skiable(not groomed) with 2 trees down that will be removed this week.

Unfortunately the back side of the red with a few other places have more damage than expected. We will be closed today to work on the trails in hopes of making passable conditions for tomorrow.

Good morning from the trail. We received 3-4” over night and the base is setting up nicely on the red, blue and greens. All the trails are skiable. Skating has its limitations with the fallen debris. Open this Saturday and Sunday 9-5pm. Sadly this will be the last few days to ski before the forecasted rain and warmer temps roll in.

Around 3pm the trails had soft surface, lots of debris and high winds.
Andy slowly groomed parts of the front side, removed lots of debris and within 2 hrs his tracks were covered with snow! It’s still snowing in squalls and the winds are fierce. We will assess the trails early morning with an updated condition report. OPEN SATURDAY with most likely the front side only 9-5pm. (Orange trail will be open but last to be groomed depending on snow)

After a few days of tree removal and fine tuning Andy was able to make some great surface for skating and classic skiing on the red, blue, greens & most of orange. Yellows are clear and ready for the Alberta clipper. 7-10” forecasted overnight and fresh grooming early Sunday morning will make for a perfect powder day on the ridge! We will be open Sunday and Monday 9-5pm.
