Monday April 10, 2023 We have had an amazing ski year as we CLOSE THE GATES at Pumpkin Creek for 2023. We will see you next year ! Thanks to our skiers, volunteers and skiers.

The skate trails will be groomed early Sunday morning. Conditions for skating will be best likely until late-morning Sunday when they will start getting slower and sticky.

The skate trails will be groomed early Saturday morning. Conditions for skating will be best likely until about noon Saturday when they will start getting slower and sticky.

Trails are all freshly groomed and ready for action for what will most likely be our last ski weekend! Enjoy! Watch out for the big snow mess at Lookout point where we got REALLY STUCK with the groomer late last night 🙁

We received 15 cm of snow Wednesday. We are in the process of grooming the trails today and hope to finish late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Conditions should be great for Friday!

We received ~13 cm of snow Sunday. All classic and skate trails are groomed and in good condition. All hills are open, but be cautious on the big hills (Badger, Whitetail, Coyote, Timberdoodle) as the track was not lifted as it usually is. Expect the skate trail to be soft Tuesday.
We plan to groom the trails as soon as possible following the…[Read more]
