Griz Bar Renovations
Our famous Griz Bar has been ‘keepin’ rippers ripped’ since 1962, and not much has changed in that time, so it’s time for a facelift. Don’t worry though, the rustic charm we all love will remain, huge improvements will be made to the atrium, including a new roof and opening up the area for more potential seating.
Grooming Fleet Additions
Two of Prinoth’s newest machines will join our fleet, designed to meet the European “Stage V” emission standards, one free cat and one winch cat. These two beauties are the most efficient machines in their class, wonder what Gary the Cat will think about that? Meow!
Snowmaking Upgrades
We have added 3 new lance guns to our existing fleet. These guns demand less electricity, which makes more efficient use of our current hydrants and allows us to make the most of snowmaking weather windows.
On-Mountain Brushing Program
Our brushing team has been on the mountain since May and will continue work through the fall. Our friendly mower cat will be out on the mountain again to prep the runs for good early snow coverage, providing earlier and better access to all your favourite spots! We will also have large machines completing earthwork/terrain modifications, improving flow in a few areas around the mountain.
Our Early Bird Vacation Offers have been released. Book before September 30th and save up to 20%! Book now.
