Christmas Shopping

There is more merchandise to come in, but guest services is already well stocked. If you loved the skier and snow shoer posters, there will be a snowboarder and Eagle one coming this season.

 

SROAM Class here today

I didn't stop to take a photo, but BMR has posted one. Students in the Selkirk College Ski Resort Operations and Management program stopped by today on their ski resort tour.

Baldy has benefitted greatly over the years with graduates of the program working here.

The visitors were first year students.

Second year students do a work term. Baldy is fortunate to have a 2nd year student coming to work here in the winter.

Guest Services

Guest Services open 9:00 to 4:00 starting today. Lots of new merch. 

No Time Change

Time will tell, but I am not excited about not turning the clocks back. A few days of adjustment spring and fall seems to me to be easier than not responding to the changes of the seasons.

How much daylight will be left when the lifts close in the early part of the season?

 

Larch - decorated, not defoliated...........

So far the yellow larch needles are hanging on to the trees with the snow on them.

 

Truck was clean last night.....

 

Thinking of you, "Uncle Bill"

Our thoughts are with Bill, Greg, Carolyn and all the Murray and Crowson family. Laurie Murray is now at rest, after a difficult journey.  You were an awesome caregiver Bill, and I hope you can spend some time at the Crowsnest this winter with Greg and his crew.

Love the sound of the kids out back.............

 This photo was bumped from the top spot by the laughter in the back this morning.

9cms overnight, and more in the coming days..............

My thoughts are with the owners/builders of 4 new cabins under construction right now. Of the three earlier starts, one has the roof on, one has the roof membrane on, and the third has the roof sheeted. The late start #4 had a crew putting up all the roof trusses yesterday.

The first build of the summer of 2027 has had the trees felled, and an excavator is on site doing the prep for the spring.

The common thread for all the builds in recent years, is that the permit process takes a long time. My suggestion to anyone considering building next year, is get your paperwork into the RDKB very early. 

About those gusty winds...........

Large piece of thin black squishy foam in my driveway this morning. I put a rock on it, and if you are looking for it, it is now in Janine's yard.
