Stony Mountain, MB - This is the last Snow Report for the season. Stony will be open 10 am - 5 pm on Friday , Saturday & Sunday will have the annuak Slush Cup in the afternoon. We still have over 50 cm of base and the snow conditions are very good.

All runs are open and both lifts operating. This isn't the latest we have been open but it is the best snow conditions for this late in the season. The latest we were ever open was in 1997 when we stayed open until the 3rd week of April!

Cool Since 1966


Stony Mountain, MB - Stony Mountain Ski Area is looking at opening for ski season next weekend, thanks to recent cold weather and the recent snowfalls.

"The recent snowfall and the cold weather allowed us to start up snowmaking operations last Thursday and we have been going 24/7 since then," said Heather Dewar, co-owner. "The recent snow of 15 - 20 cm has been a welcome assist from Mother Nature this year."

Last year local ski areas opened 2 - 3 week s later due to unseasonably warm fall and the early spring further reduced the length of the season. Ski areas are hoping for a much better season this year.

“Last year we opened December 12 so we were 3 weeks behind,” explained Dewar. The recent snowfall has sparked interest in snow enthusiasts with the phones and internet super busy. "We are getting numerous inquiries from people interested in learning how to ski or snowboard this year," said Dewar.

Stony Mountain Ski Area anticipates opening next Saturday.
