Snow has finally arrived

Snow in various forms has arrived in the last few days which means we will be able to get some skiing happening this week.

Make sure to have your rock skis ready for tomorrow Monday. The man made snow will start to be move tomorrow around the stadium and on the trails around Mt-Mac.

There is also a thin base of natural snow on Copper and Selwyn which should allow for some skiing in the next few days. Remember that this is early season skiing conditions and we should all pay attention while skiing as there are lots of rocks, sticks and dirt that can stop you so paying special attention is crucial at this time of the year.

Make sure to have your warm clothes with you as the temperatures and wind combination combined with less daylight will make for cool skiing conditions this week.
