Season Starts Dec. 21st!!

Williams Lake Cross Country ski club will be opening Bull Mountain for the 2017-2018 ski season on Thursday December 21, 2017.

Bull Mountain received 15cm of snow on Sunday and the groomers have been working all week packing the trails to create a base for the season.  Expect early season conditions as stated below.

What to expect: 
-Current base 2-3 inches
-All trails are packed and have a groomed corduroy surface.
-Upper trails in the system that were impacted by the wildfires (Cataline, Anvil, Gunanoot) use caution as there may be dirt or rocks close to the surface.
-Mid trails impacted by woodlot logging (Winchester, Cataline, Canyon View) use caution as there may be dirt or rocks close to the surface.
-Watch for rocks and debris that may be protruding from the snow.
-classic tracks will be set with additional snow falls, (Currently there is not enough base to set consistent classic tracks.)
-lights will be available for night skiing.

Trail closures: 
-Kiwanis – not enough snow on swamp crossing sections
-Gunanoot - packed but would advise not to ski until there is more snow
-Canyon View - packed but would advise not to ski until there is more snow

REMINDER:
Day users MUST go in the warming hut and sign the day use register (and deposit fee in the drop box)
Alternatively...buy a membership online through Zone 4 or download forms from our website and put them in the dropbox at the hill, or mail them in.
