Trail and Grooming Report

March 2, 2024

Good Morning,

The time is 7:15 am and the temperature is -3c. We received 5cm of snow over night with flurries expected through the day; conditions are lovely and awaiting your Saturday ski. Temperatures are expected to rise to about -1 and drop again this evening.

Apex, Cottonwood, Night loop and Clearwater including the loops have been refreshed and Busk/Euphrates is in progress and should be completed soon.

Be careful walking in the parking lots, with all the freeze and thaw events they are likely to be icy in sections.

Hope to see you all out this weekend!

Good Morning,

The time is 10:15 am and the temperature is -1c. We received a good amount of snow over night and conditons have recovered from yesterday’s weather. Access on Hwy 6 to the Club is at a standstill with an accident at Whitewater road.

Check the Whitewater hwy 6 road cam on drive BC before coming out to see if the traffic is moving.

All the trails have been groomed except for night creek. The lower section of night loop is wet so take care crossing over at the junction to Busk. We received about 15 cm of snow and flurries are forescasted throughout the day.

Be careful walking in the parking lots, with all the freeze and thaw events they are likley to be icy in sections.

Hope to see you all out this afternoon for a ski!
