Even MORE SNOW!

What a pleasant surprise to wake up to MORE SNOW than forecast....I'm  not sure what the cities received but we got another 5 or so inches of quality packing snow which will make this weekend one of the best opportunities to ski or snowboard at BRIMACOMBE all year (and it's been great so far)!

Here are some shots from around the hill this morning (Feb 28, 2013)...what a beautiful place we have here.




































Will March come in like a Lamb or a Lion? It's been another day in PARADISE,

Cheers,

Mark

SNOW DAY!

WE GOT IT! LOADS of new SNOW! It's not light and fluffy but it's the perfect snow to add to our base depth and give our already fantastic conditions an added boost. We estimate that we received approximately 15-18cm and the snow is continuing to fall as I write. Here are a few early morning shots of the white gold!

Standard run

The school house

Slopeside...where everything in the store is 50% off!

Snow falling on cedars

It's not a foot deep...but it's over MY foot deep.

18cm (7")


Lots of deck clearing to be done today!


The forecast as of 8:41am this morning...like yesterday's -confusing but promising!

Did your bus get cancelled? Couldn't make it to work today? Let's weather out the storm together on the slopes of Brimacombe...don't forget Mid-Week Daily (9am to 4:30pm) Lift Tickets are just $20 taxes included!

The skiing was super at Brimacombe this past weekend...and having Sunny Side, Nice and Easy and Farmers Field open was a treat we don't see every year. This coming weekend promises to be even better...and we have lot's happening on the slopes, so plan to spend some time with us before it's too late!
