Our maintenance team was hard at work last night getting the Whiteway ready for everyone to enjoy. The ski lane is back! Thank you for your hard work Brad. Play safe and have fun everyone.

Last night’s skiff of snow was just enough to clear the Whiteway for skating!
There isn’t enough of the white stuff for a ski lane just yet though. Keep thinking those wintery thoughts and maybe we can make it happen.

A reminder, if you haven’t purchased your season pass, day pass or punch card yet, don’t forget to do so. They can be purchased on our website, from our ambassadors or from Crazy Soles and Inside Edge. Thank you!

We are experiencing our 6th (?) chinook of the season. As such we are flipping the sign to closed on the Whiteway. The heavy winds and rain storm we had last night and today have left a layer of water on the lake.
None of our volunteers have made it to Lilian today but given the weather we can assume it will be soggy up there too.
Play safe everyone and think cold weather thoughts.

Is everyone ready for the weekend? I know I am!

Is everyone ready for the weekend? I know I am!
The Whiteway isn’t happening at the moment. While we wait for Mother Nature to help us out, we want to remind everyone that Nipika and Pano have wonderful xc skiing. The trail systems are fantastic and the scenery is pretty inspiring.
Trail fees are in effect for both locations as well as for the trails at Lake Lillian. You can buy day passes or season passes. Nipika and Pano offer discounts for season passes to TCNSC members so be sure to ask.

We have closed the Whiteway for the time being.

Our hope is that if we keep people off, and damage due to foot traffic is limited, when it gets cold again the ice will freeze up smoothly. If people continue to use the surface it may leave ruts and divots that we won’t be able to repair.
Thank you for your patience.

Another update for you! Brad worked some magic and made a skiing trail along the Whiteway! There is both classic and skate skiing now available.
Please do not walk on the ski trail as it wrecks the skiing for users, especially during these warmer temps....

Please do not walk on the ski trail as it wrecks the skiing for users, especially during these warmer temps. There is a walk track for walkers to enjoy.
Edit- skating still is not recommended as the ice is very rough and bumpy. Hopefully this warmer weather will help smooth it out.

So far the ice is some of the worse our grooming team has ever seen. It’s incredibly rough and terrible for skating.
Brad has been working hard to prep an area in case we get rain and warm weather as predicted, which may help smooth things out.
There isn’t enough snow yet to put in a skiing lane but a walking path has been added.
Please stay tuned and we will let you know as soon as the ice is ready for fun!

Last night the Junior Johnson was set for classic skiing and Lillian’s skate ski trail was cleaned up.
The adaptive trail was also repacked for walking. Please avoid walking on trails set for skiing as it makes the experience more challenging for those on skinny sticks.
Have a great day everyone!
Edit - yesterday the lots were full and people were parking on the highway. If the lots are full when you arrive, please come back another time. This highway is not a safe place to be parking for drivers and parked cars alike. It also makes it dangerous for people trying to exit the lots. Thank you!

A few reminders -
Nipika and Pano also have ski trails open.
If you are walking on Lillian, the Johnson or other areas that offer skiing, please stay off the tracked ski trails as it damages the trails for skiers. The tracks are set so skis can move smoothly over the surfaces and the foot prints make that challenging. Brad has packed an outer loop of walking trails at the Johnson and we will have better signage there soon.

Work has begun on the trails at Lake Lillian. Thanks Brad!
The lake itself is not ready to be used. The weight of the snow is pushing the ice down and causing water to come up through the cracks.

It may be a winter wonderland in the Columbia Valley today but the Whiteway still isn't ready. There are unhealed weak spots and cracks with another report of someone falling into the lake.

The heavy snow and lack of truly cold temperatures means it will be a bit before the lake is ready.
Please play safe and keep an eye on this page for updates as to when the Whiteway is ready.

There is lots of great cross country skiing to be enjoyed!
Panorama Mountain Resort has groomed all their outer loops (early Friday am) to the Hale Hut and the Placer trail to the end for about 20 km of groomed skiing. Both skate and classic skiing should be very good. Photo below is the Placer Outer (Barbour) trail on Friday. Some of the Inner loops are also groomed. Get your trail/season's pass at the Greywolf clubhouse (masks required). Toby Creek members receive a discount on day fees and season passes.
Nipika Mountain Resort is also in very good condition with 35 km of groomed trails for skate and classic. Toby Creek members receive a discount on a Nipika season pass.
We have not yet opened on Lake Windermere or Lake Lillian, but we're ready when conditions allow.
Okay, go get after it and let us know how it was!

The ice on Windermere Lake and Lake Lillian is slowly getting thicker! We’re getting close to testing out the new maintenance equipment. Keep an eye out on social media for more updates as we move closer to the season! ❄️
