1. Skiing And Riding
With our snow base over 360cm deep we've still got lots of turns left to enjoy this season. Get out on the slopes and enjoy the best of spring skiing and riding. Our lifts are open from 9am to 9pm daily in March and we've got 32 out of 33 runs open. Plus, with such a great variety of terrain, there's something for everyone in the family.
2. Take A Lesson
If you're looking to experience the slopes for the first time or want to level up to take on double blacks, a lesson with our Snow School is a great way to work on your skills. Our experienced team is ready to help you with tips and tricks at all levels. From drop-in day lessons to private lessons, there are some great options to suit your family's needs. Bonus, we’ve still got some spaces in our Spring Break Camps and Ski Wee programs – they’re the perfect way to start your child off skiing or snowboarding, or to help them continue to develop their skills in a safe and playful environment.
3. grab a Bite
All that time on the slopes is sure to work up an appetite. We’ve got you covered with a great variety of family friendly dining options. For a quick bite head to Lupins Café for something from the grill board or our pizza oven. Don't forget about the poutine! If you’re looking for a little more time to sit back and relax, head for Altitudes Bistro and enjoy some delicious favourites including salads, wings and our signature Mountain Nachos. There’s even a kids menu to keep the little ones happy. Plus, on sunny days, we’ll be opening up Altitudes Patio for you to catch some rays.
4. Family Fun Activities
Even if you’re not hitting the slopes, there’s plenty of family fun to enjoy. Test out your skills on skates by taking a spin on our mountaintop Skating Pond. Or, if you prefer a little speed, our Sliding Zone is the place to zoom down the Mountain. Both skate and sled rentals are available daily.
5. Snowshoe Adventures
Even if you’re not a skier or snowboarder, you can still get out and explore the Mountain. From beginner to advanced, our Munday Alpine Snowshoe Park offers trails that suit all ages and abilities. For a leisurely stroll or when bringing the little ones, Blue Grouse Loop is a great option. If you’re looking to challenge the family, the Snowshoe Grind is the climb for you. Strap on some snowshoes and start exploring.
