Great news (1). Winter finally arrived in the Humber Valley last night with a snow fall of around 6″. It has continued snowing off and on all day today and the valley is finally starting to look like the winter wonderland we have all been waiting for.
Great news (2) Marble Mountain has just announced that the mountain will open for skiing tomorrow, Tuesday Jan 18th. One lift will be open servicing, initially, 6 runs. They are hopeful of having more runs and the beginners hill open by the weekend.
Remember also that the Blomidon Cross Country Ski Park is already open for business.
There is not much base to the snow cover as yet but the more intrepid snowmobilers are starting to find places to put their sleds onto the snow. The following picture of the Blomidons taken last Friday (on a day more like a March day than a January day) shows that snow cover is starting to build at higher elevations.
Finally, the time has come when you can start planning that winter getaway to the west coast in the reasonable expectation that there will be snow to enjoy when you arrive.
We look forward to meeting you when you visit.
