The honest word on mountain conditions
SAFETY REMINDER: RESPECT CLOSED TERRAIN
While we’ve enjoyed some excellent snowfall this December, not all areas of the mountain are ready or safe for skiing and riding. Closures may be in place for several safety-related reasons, including active snowmaking, snow conditions, grooming operations, or snowcats (including winch cats) actively building and preparing trails.
For your safety and the safety of our crews, please obey all posted signage and never duck rope lines. Closed areas are clearly marked and are off-limits until they are officially opened.
FAST FACTS:
Village
Summit
JAN 4
Good snowfall yesterday with the lower mountain seeing up to 10cm. A little more overnight has grooves filled in on early shift groomers, with the late shift runs shaping for nice soft corduroy first up. Sun Bowl prepared paths today, as well as my Founders fave, and the long cruise of Stumbock's from summit. Ungroomed frontside terrain will ski as a mix of tracked and chopped powder, with the soft refresh making bump runs extra appealing! Some gusty blow on the plateau shows a little loading into much of Taynton terrain, giving a nice refresh towards the tail end of the holiday period traffic. While many folks will be farewelling us for the journey back to reality today, I fancy fantasy-land for a shooshing session!
Night skiing returns to Mile One every day through the holiday period. Watch the gang groom from about 4:15PM then ride 5-8PM. Showoff has great new lighting, and park features are available near the base area.
Panorama Nordic Centre at Greywolf have all nordic trails open and regularly groomed. Multi-use trails are all open and should be groomed on the regular schedule going forward. Check the website or in person for more information and to purchase passes.

Eyes to the skies, head in the clouds, but feet on the planks! The Wandering Wordsmith is back on the scene for season 14! Meet your Snow Reporter:
His office is expansive, the heating bills are low
The floors are far from level, but the feng shui has good flow
All around, the views abound, but not through a window
Out and about on our fair mount, sliding on the snow!
Analytical tools aplenty, intel from the brainstrust, the knowledge and wisdom of the Panorama Avalanche Office, reports from the grooming crew, and the processing power possessed by the Countess of Accumulation, all combine to resource and inform your snow report.
In conversation with a weather station; providing explanation of the information; finding inspiration in precipitation; it's an interpretation with imagination! Not languid with his language, he knows his semaphore from his metaphor and his airhead's from his oxymoron's. Leading you to the rough diamonds and well groomed alike, it's all about explain and infotain for a net gain in our terrain!
