Let the good times roll!  Yeah, times are pretty sweet up here lately, with all the essential elements of the weather formula falling into place, and fabulous skiing conditions being the end result.  Just cold enough, not much wind, fresh snow every day, and good visibility without any slope-baking sunshine ─ that’s been the formula for sweet turns that just keep improving day after day.  As we reap the benefits on classic lines, our biggest concerns are cold teeth and sore cheeks from smiling so much! That’s right, good days are upon us…

We can’t wipe the grins off our faces after a feast of sweet powder skiing over the past week! And there’s more snow in the forecast.  Temperatures have been basically ideal ─ cold enough to keep the snow light and dry, without any uncomfortable deep-freeze.  Add to all that some excellent visibility to light the way, and you’ve got a perfect recipe for classic powder skiing conditions!  That’s right, good days are upon us……

It's snowing! After a bit of a dry couple of week, fat flakes are falling once again, and the forecast holds the promise of more to come the next 7 day. If you've been doing your snow dance, keep it up - deep turns and good times are the way we roll!

Light!  Dry!  Powder!  Well, unfortunately none of those really apply at the moment.  With temperatures hovering on either side of freezing all week, we’re clinging to a few small mercies associated with this past two weeks snowfall – our 67cm fell as snow and not rain.  Nonetheless, the daily vote has been that skiing is better than not skiing, and good times haven’t been in short supply!  We’re building character run after run, and the long-term forecast calls for a return to more seasonal temperatures and more snow sometime next week.  Light?  Dry?  Powder?  Hey, this is Great Northern after all, where that magical combination is never too far over the horizon…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! AND WHAT A GREAT END OF 2022 AND START OF 2023. Over the Christmas break we had 137cm of fresh powder fall over Great Northern & Thompson Mountain making the conditions perfect. The snow and conditions did not disappoint, lots of fresh lines to bring smiles to everyone's faces.

AND.......there is more snow coming the next 8 days!!

Great Northern Staff would like to welcome all our guests to paradise!!!
