Up at Mt. Timothy Ski Area today, the temperature is slightly warmer than it is in town at -14C. The hill is currently sitting at a 136-centimetre base following last week’s major snowfall and is inviting families to join them on the slopes tomorrow (Monday) for BC Family Day where they are offering 50 per cent off day passes.
North of Williams Lake at Bull Mountain, the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club has also been busy dealing with last week’s snowfall in order to get its trails track set.
“The lit loops and dog trails have tracks set, the rest of the trails have been packed except Canyon View and Gunanoot,” says the WLCCSC in an update. “Quite a few trees have fallen across the trails and has slowed the grooming process … more track setting will be happening in the next day or two.
“Enjoy what we have. Saw lots of folks skiing even with the cold temperatures.”
