call Tel: 709-637-7601 Skiers and snowboarders in Newfoundland and Labrador are anticipating another incredible season at resorts throughout the province. Last year’s snowy conditions are expected again this season with the Farmer’s Almanac and abundant dog berries supporting that expectation. Marble Mountain Resort in Steady Brook is enjoying a resurgence of interest in alpine skiing. Season pass sales are way up and there is excitement in the air! Preseason preparations are underway and the season’s first snow has arrived. The official opening day is Dec. 26 but Marble will open earlier if conditions allow. This year Marble will host the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing National Festival from Feb. 28 – March 7. Winter Carnival from Feb. 20 – 29 is always an exciting time with fireworks, fun races and much more. The Atlantic Cup is scheduled from Feb. 6-8 and rumour has it that Snow Jam may be returning to Marble Mountain this season. Watch for details of all these events and many more on Marble’s soon-to-be launched new website. This website, www.skimarble.com, should be up and running by the first of Dec. Unfortunately, Copper Creek in Baie Verte will not be opening this season and while Pine Tree on the provinces west coast is yet to open, owner Dean Simon is determined that this is the year we’ll see skiers and snowboarders at his facility. We wish him luck. Newfoundland and Labrador is a wonderful place to ski and snowboard so plan to visit this winter and enjoy everything the province has to offer. You’ll have a great time! |
