January 13th 2023 Update

Last night and through today we did receive a rain storm down low, and snow up top. Today the conditions were too soft to operate safely. We are watching the temperatures closely and will make all efforts to be open tomorrow, however, if the base does not re freeze yet, we are concerned with damaging the runs .

We will continue to update as things change. With some colder temps, runs should firm up and be ready to go again!

Saying that, please check back often for updates as this is a changing situation. Thank you all for your understanding.

***update: CLOSED*** The rain has made conditions unsafe to operate. Thank you for your understanding.

Friday the 13th isn’t spooky. But rain on a ski hill is:(

The whole region is experiencing rain currently, making roads very icey. YRB is cautioning people using side roads. Our road is a side road. Please be prepared for travel on icey roads.

The groomer was NOT able to groomer last night . Lifts are running but if conditions deteriorate further we will have to close for the day. Not alot of good news, but at least its Friday?
