COLD WEATHER CLOSURE: Dec 23rd 2025 and Closed Dec 24th and 25th.

Does anyone else notice there seems to be an annual cold snap right around opening weekend? Its beyond frustrating for us, and our staff for all the work to get the ball rolling only to have to hit the brakes again just two days later! But here we are.

We have been hawking the forecasts and live weather since yesterdays closing, temps paired with wind chill will keep us closed for tomorrow, which means our next operating day will be Boxing Day.

We have seen 20cm of snow fall through the day yesterday and more coming tonight. The groomer will be out over the next few days getting the base improved and smoothing things out a bit. Warmer temps, smoother runs and untouched powder wil l be waiting for you Boxing day morning.

Have a great holiday with your friends and family and we cannot wait to see you in a few days!

COLD WEATHER CLOSURE: Monday Dec 22nd 2025

The wind has really picked up, dropping temperatures into the danger zone for both our staff and you, our guests. We will stay closed tomorrow, Dec 22nd and reassess for operations on Tuesday December 23rd and keep you all posted. Fingers crossed the wind dies down! Stay cozy with your family and get those Christmas Pressies wrapped!

Thank you all for supporting us the last few day, truly epic powder days on opening weekend is just, chef’s kiss.

Ski you soon!
