Here’s a pic from 2 years ago but we have a sneaky suspicion that Quartz could play similar to this in the next few days.

Snow
We’ve had approximately 15 cms in the past week but we are expecting much more. There’s 37 cms in the forecast for the Quartz Area before Tuesday morning.

Approximately 15 cms of new snow this week with 37cms in the forecast for the next 5 days.
Avalanche Training
Hey you! Get educated. For real, this isn’t a joke, playing the mountains can literally be a matter of life or death. Please get yourself educated before you venture into the backcountry.

Quartz Creek
Updated: We are able to groom 3/4 of the trail. Passes are discounted accordingly. The rest we will attempt to drag.
We’re hoping the groomer is able to make a nice trail over the creek crossings that were mandatory last week. Please be aware that conditions are still very early season and hazards exist everywhere.
