IMPORTANT NOTE
DUE TO FORECAST HEAVY RAINS AND UNSEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES
BRIMACOMBE WILL BE CLOSED SUNDAY JANUARY 13, 2013
WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE
ALL PROGRAMS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN TOMORROW WILL BE SHIFTED ONE WEEK AHEAD
***
The January thaw...our arch nemesis, some years it is gentle on us and others....it creates a challenge. All in all the skiing and snowboarding is reportedly good on the slopes -fast and fun, it LOOKS worse in some areas than others because after any rain or melting all the dirt and particules suspended in snow melt down and discolour the surface. That being said we did loose a fair amount of snow in some areas and have had to close Pete's Elbow on top of the already closed Park Ave making the PIGGY BANK terrain park a hiking access only area again.The decision to close tomorrow was made based on the current forecast of 10-15mm of rain over night and through tomorrow with 10*C temperatures...very challenging weather conditions to groom and properly prepare the slopes especially after the unseasonably mild and wet few days we've had. Overall, there is still a lot of snow out here and the forecast looks good for snowmaking beginning Monday night. It will not take long for us to have the terrain back in the condition it was up until now and then on to working to add more open runs!
Our BIGGEST challenge is always convincing the folks in the city that even though they may not see snow on their front lawns....we still have snow on ours!
