WINTER OPENING DAY: DECEMBER 6, 2019
The blanket of snow at the summit is getting deeper and deeper, while the flakes continue to pile up in the village. We turned on our snow guns on September 28, the earliest we have ever made snow and soon it will be time to dust off those boots, sharpen those planks and get sideways on the slopes. There are already hundreds of ski racers out training on the mountain and we’ll throw open the lifts to the public on December 6.
Winter temperatures came early this year and our snow guns have been pumping out the flakes in anticipation for this weekend. 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) of vertical and groomed terrain from the Champagne chairlift down will be open and ready for you to carve. Check out what's open, here. Leave the powder skis at home and come rip some corduroy!
Have a Snow + Card? Have you heard about our special Bonus Day offer for this weekend?
When you purchase a Snow+ Card by this weekend you'll receive a free bonus day to use this Saturday, December 7 or Sunday or Sunday, December 8. If you are planning to hit the slopes three to five days this season the Snow+ Card is your best deal on lift tickets. Our Restricted and Anytime options give you the flexibility to ski when you want and get the very best price. Adults can ski for as little as $57.80 per day with a 5-day Restricted Snow+ Card. To take advantage of this free bonus day, purchase a Snow+ Card now and visit the Guest Services desk before heading to the lift this weekend.
Big things are happening this season, including brand new terrain in Taynton Bowl (we're adding four more runs to the Monster area!), plus two brand new dining establishments in the upper village. We'll see you soon!

The Wandering Wordsmith is back for yet another season of masochistic 5:30 AM starts – he may have made his bed, but it seems he is unable to lie in it! Meet your Snow Reporter;
Some think he’s hiding in plain sight in an elaborate witness protection program; others say he’s a deep cover sleeper agent for the Australian Winter Olympic world domination program; left field theorists claim he’s simply the love child of a poet and a Sasquatch; all we know is he can’t help but let words flow when it comes to snow! The Wandering Wordsmith is back for season seven to pontificate over precipitate, explain and infotain.
With origins and influences from around the world and ambiguously identifying as a Britstraladian, he’s been hanging out here long enough to become furniture. Riding the well groomed or the rough diamonds, he sees variety as the spice of life. Spending most of his winter on snow teaching skiing and boarding with the Ski & Ride Centre, exploring adaptive technique with PASS, or racing about with the kids of WVSC, he also relishes the odd powder playtime with colleagues and cohort alike. He’ll happily join you to imbibe a libation to the snow gods, but be warned: when he asks about your day he wants to know when, where, and why it was good!
Pouring over analytical tools each morning, tapping into the wealth of knowledge and wisdom from the Panorama Avalanche Office, and ably assisted by the Countess of Accumulation and the Jovial Jetstreamer, we are eyes to the skies and planks slidy side down, letting you know what it was, how it is, and when to heed the call as the snow falls.
