Remember the old adage: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Well that was us last weekend. That storm was awful! Thank goodness there is a silver lining. The base has firmed up and we are back in action for this week!
Of course, this set back, like the last one has forced some adjustments to our schedules. There's a bit to go over so please read through!
1. The 8th annual Mt. Everest challenge will go ahead on the new date Saturday 14th. Same deets as before, but please note, unless it snows a decent amount, only the Mt Everest and base camp categories will be going ahead. Please head to the link in our bio or our website to register.
2. We have hundreds of skiable hectares for your enjoyment but of course the 3acre you can see from the lodge are less than appealing. Trust us, the groomers are great, an isolated ick spot on the face of Cassiar, and the closed park. Don't judge a book by its cover. It's great up here. Pic from today for proof ! Bunnyhill is .
3. Denim and disco this Saturday. Come and have some fun, get that Canadian tux on or dazzle us in sequins. Spring skiing is all about the fun and sun!
4. Bathtub race/slush cup is STILL scheduled for 21st. We will adjust if the weather forces us. But we're hopeful. Please get those nostalgic tubs ready? It's our 50th anniversary, let's celebrate!
4. Spring break hours will be announced after this post.
5. And finally: kids 12 and under will be skiing free again this weekend! Conditions are super fun for little ones. Fresh tilled groomers and sunny skies in the forecast.
Climate change has given us our fair share of challenges. We need all the support so get up here and support us and in return we'll give you: amazing spring skiing, hometown lodge full of friends, games and all homemade food and, the BIGGEST best homemade cinnamon buns all served up by a friendly group of locals.
Thanks for reading til the end. Ski you soon!
Well, today was big ew vibes. We've had multiple days well above zero. It dumped and rained for most of today. The result: rotten snow. The top 10 towers got a heavy dump of snow, but down at the bottom it was rain and if we could magically conjure a safe way down we'd be golden. But as it stands, you gotta romp through a rotten base to reach the lodge and it just isn't safe, and as temps will sit well above zero round the clock for the next two days, it's not going to freeze until Monday.
What does this mean? We are postponing everything for this weekend to next weekend!! Snow is forecasted and nice cold temps will allow us to work some magic for some EPIC spring skiing!
Everest challenge will move to March 14th, conveniently lined up with our disco and denim days.
We want to stress that the hill has adequate snow. It's just totally rotten which is not safe for skiers. We need the snow to stabilize and freeze.
Can we all agree, that we need to catch a break. This winter has not been kind to the Ridge. We could really use some kind words to pump our tires as we are BUMMED OUT round here. As always, thanks for sticking with us and we really hope you'll all join us next weekend for a fun celebration/challenge!
And can we all give our friend @cwazy_duck a shout out. Not once. But twice. He's driven all the way from SASKATCHEWAN with his daughter as he's such a huge fan of the ridge and both times this happened. Dave, are you bringing that weather with ya?!
