“It’s fantastic right now. All the trails have been groomed and set and it looks pretty nice,” said lead groomer Scott Gordon. “It was a little bit icy because of the warm weather but hopefully we can get a little bit of snow and it’ll be really nice.”
Bull Mountain officially opened on Jan. 1, including its dog-friendly trails and snowshoeing trails.
The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Bull Mountain, located just 15 minutes north of Williams Lake off Highway 97.
