Winter Arrives This Weekend

Author: Shannon McSweeney

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for!!!  Skiers and snowboarders across the region will find it hard to sleep tonight…knowing ski season is here! 

When Mother Nature conspires with the best snowmakers in the business, amazing things can happen!  Thanks to this incredible teamwork, Mountain Creek is thrilled to announce that not only is Vernon Base opening with incredible conditions tomorrow, December 8^th – but the new South terrain park will also debut -- one week early!.

Thanks to ideal snowmaking temperatures over the past two weeks, Mountain Creek’s powerful SnowLab26 has put down a deep base of white across both Vernon and South peaks.  With those snow guns working overtime, guests will enjoy 13 trails with a base depth from 16”-18”, up to 36” in some places – making for awesome early season conditions.  Vernon will be serviced by the Cabriolet Gondola and the Magic Carpet, while access at South will be provided by the South Chair, and the new parks at South will have at least 15 features on the hill.

First chair is at 8am for All Access Season Pass holders and 9am for everyone else.  Both bases will also be open Monday through Friday of next week from Noon until 9pm.  Season Passes are available for pick up at the Vernon Base Guest Services office or the South Rental Shop.  For more information on conditions, trails and features visit www.mountaincreek.com
