Following a most successful Family Day on Feb. 8, the Cariboo experienced an unusual spell of warm weather and the Bombardier groomer at Mt. Timothy chose this time to wear out some parts.
The result was a very icy snow pack and Mt. Timothy closed on Valentine's Day due to unsafe conditions. Parts have arrived, fresh snow has fallen, and the skiing at Mt. Timothy is at its all-season best.
"We couldn't have timed the thaw-freeze and the groomer issues worse," says hill manager Caroline Sherrer.
"Our momentum from Family Day disappeared. However, winter is not over in the Cariboo, and we have 160 cm. base and fresh groomed powder."
The past weekend provided acres of freshly groomed corduroy and sunny skies, she adds.
