Now that the winter season is well underway our quest to fulfill our snow fun quota is on! Mother Nature; with the help of our operation crews has once again delivered allowing us to open 4 of 6 lifts and 12 of our 28 trails. As temperatures and the Beaver River water flows allow our operation crews are working hard to maximize our snowmaking production. In the days and weeks to come there are a number of cold weather windows that will continue to allow us the opportunity to open additional lifts and trails. The Club is open everyday through to January 3rd. Get out and enjoy!
With every company there are times that it is open or closed for business. In our every day lives when a business is open; we have access to buy our groceries or get a ride to work on the train. When closed the business removes access in order to restock the shelves and service the train. The process is no different at the club. On a daily basis the lifts and trails within the Club boundaries are open for ski and snowboard enthusiasts to enjoy from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Thruway and Eager Beaver are available at 8:00am for those that live or park at the top. When the Club is closed, access within the Club boundaries is not permitted. This includes any activities but not limited to snow sliding, hiking or walking as well as the use of motorized vehicles. We encourage snowshoe and cross country enthusiasts to cross the Club property around the perimeters at the top through the parking lots, the bottom to hug the tree line’s and edge of the club house. This will ensure minimum interaction with the snow sliding users. Maps are available at the Snow School desk.
Successful Club operations require the use of motorized vehicles to complete many tasks during the day and night. During our open hours employees on snowmobiles responding to lift or patrol related emergencies may be traveling on the following designated routes True North, Old Tom, Ridge Run, and Southern Comfort. Simple rules to follow are the same as if driving a car encountering an emergency vehicle, if possible move away from its path and stop allowing the snowmobile to pass. When the Club is closed both tracked vehicles and snowmobiles will be traveling on any trail within the Club boundaries. The machine operators are always attentive to their surroundings but are not expecting to see people as the area is closed. We encourage everyone to use the Club trails during the open hours, but please respect our closure policy. This we hope will allow everyone a safe and happy winter.
Member badge pick up will be in the Administration Office Monday thru Friday, and continue in the Fireside Lounge on Saturday and Sunday. The Park Pass program will also be available in the Fireside Lounge from 9:30-11:30 am and 1:00-2:00 pm.
