The lodge is top notch and I think they added some trails since then . And added hotel rooms. I think they get around $300.00 night . Every so often they let a trail bump up . It’s a good place for beginners. I haven’t been there to often even though it’s not far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see enough of those on ski trips out west but glad a few still represent BC here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benm Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Doe was my learning hill. I vaguely remember the PBandJ sandwiches and the little lodge you had to walk up the stairs to.

Mixilplix Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Was up there for some laps after work....It's pretty bad...You really had to pick your way through some stuff...The pics don't do it justice...I'm surprised they were even open...No steeper terrain open...Mostly park stuff....I have a lot of good memories from there.. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 None of us skied Blue the last two days so WTGAI bear for staying open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) It was a nice spring day noon until mid afternoon at least, and very few people - parked in the first row. Soft snow is better than ice. Bummed F lift wasn't spinning but oh well. Hopefully they are able to make snow this weekend, they will almost be starting over. Bare spots got a lot worse over the course of the afternoon, the top especially is pretty patched together.

CB Shawnee and Montage were but idk what their snow depth looks like I know that being open today would require grooming which at these sorts of temps melts more snow and also even a couple hundred skied making ten runs each in warm weather melts more snow then that sloppy soupy mush has to be groomed again in 50 something degree temps. I just hope the weather moderates a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to get colder this weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think each hill probably made the best decision for what they had on the ground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A latitude system won’t solve all of their problems but it would at least give them the ability to stay open during the warm-ups and possibly open a bit earlier than they have the last few years.

With the warm weather, they probably didn't want people eating the sno cone snow. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
