The local ski and snowboard season got underway with a bang this year.
Early dumps of snow saw Mt. Timothy Ski Area open early with a solid base to greet ski and snowboard enthusiasts from around the region.
Mt. Timothy Ski Area is a family-oriented ski hill located 20 minutes east of Lac La Hache, offering skiing and snowboarding for all levels.
The ski hill has one chair lift, a T-bar and a two-level magic carpet lift.
As well, the staff at Mt. Timothy are available to offer instruction, such as mother and son duo Sandi and Dave Raincock, who developed a love of skiing while living near Castle Mountain Resort in Alberta.
“She taught me how to ski and now I’m teaching her a few things,” Dave said of growing up on a ski hill.
Mt. Timothy is open to the public Friday to Monday weekly, and will also be open on Thursday, Jan. 30.
