Safe Travels Alpine Clubs

I was wrong about at least one of the visiting Alpine Clubs - Cypress group was here. 

Coq continues to have snow/accident closures, travelers reporting reasonable conditions via the Fraser Canyon.

Our Friends from OOSAR

A team from Oliver Osoyoos Search and Rescue is here today for a refresher on their winter training. Colleen tells me that the morning of the power outage, there were 14 trees across the road coming up.

The Big Blue Bus

Welcome to the Alpine Clubs from the coast. (Seymour and Grouse I think). We're happy to have you here to train. 

Eagle is open, access to snow study area - base is officially 100cms up top

 

Terrain update

After all the hard work from our grooming and patrol teams, the North side of Eagle chair is NOW OPEN! This makes nearly all of our terrain open as we head into the holidays.

On Eagle, Southwinds remains closed until there is enough to snow to build our expert terrain park.

On sugarlump, Wizard remains closed until we receive more snow to fill in the bottom, and Dash remains closed until the cliff under the chairlift is safe enough to ski.

With Eagle now being open, we are able to get more accurate snow accumulation stats in our weather plot, and to our surprise, we now have a 100cm base at the top! Snow is forecasted to fall all week, so kick off your holiday season with a killer day(s) at Baldy!

All lifts are now in operation 7 days a week until January 4th. Night skiing/tubing on our magic carpet starts next Friday, Dec 26th and runs every Fri-Sat until 7pm

Tubing remains closed until we receive a bit more snow, but we aim to have it open sometime next week.

Need a ride to the hill? Our Eagle Express shuttle service with pickup and drop off in Osoyoos and Oliver is operating Thursdays-Sundays all season long. Check our previous post about it or get all the info on our E-store, baldymtnresort.resortstore.net.

Get up here and enjoy the Okanagans most affordable ski hill!

Ride the Eagle Tomorrow Afternoon - post from BMR

Eagle is about to take flight very very soon. We have prepped the runs and set the stage for an opening tomorrow afternoon December 18. With more snow in the forecast and plenty at the top we are excited to get things turning.

Tickets to ride will be at the Sugarlump pricing until noon at noon we will switch to our two chair pricing. So if your looking for another reason to get outside come shred early and get a heavy discount on tickets.

A few house keeping rules as you plan to shred the best little 2 person chair in the Okanagan. (At least that's what we think)

1. It is still early season so stick to the groomed runs where it will be a much better experience

2. Anything off groomer may come back to get you so ride with caution

3. The north side will be closed so stay off this side of Eagle this is for your safety and the safety of others runs are closed for a reason

4. Have a good time out there it's going to be a stellar day with snowfall expected to hit by noon
