THE SKIING IS GREAT!

All day I have heard a similar line repeated by those out on the slopes of Brimacombe....The skiing is great!

The past few days have been interesting weather wise. Periods of heavy rain, followed by periods of heavy snow. Believe it or not, the snow won the battle! We have more than ample base depth to carry us through to the end of the season which is set for March 27th 2011 (Weather permitting of course!).

These pictures were taken mid afternoon today (March 12, 2011) as more new snow fell from the skies.

You can also check out our webcams for the latest shots of the Standard run and Clubhouse Run.
