Powder Punch Cards

A great way to start the season

What a stellar opening weekend – which some say was the best in 30 years! We are hanging our hat on that compliment and sharing in the excitement for an amazing season to come. Kings Crow and the Ladies from Hell were such a success – look out for more concerts like this later on in the season!

It is nearly Crazy Season…so give the gift everyone wants — the gift of powder!
Gift cards available at the downtown office – great stocking stuffer, or excellent ‘experience’ gift for that out of town guest this holiday season. Or just spoil the ones you love and maybe Santa will be good to you this year…cough, cough, powder punch card…

A few things happening around the hill this month:

Get trained to coach Northern athletes and help inspire them to represent Zone 7,8 & Team BC!

The countdown is on...

As the season creeps forward, our anticipation and excitement grows more and more!

What is also growing is the widespread awareness of Hudson Bay Mountain and the very special jewel of a valley we have here. Uncrowded runs, glorious champagne powder, friendly professional staff – all situated on a mountain with the best view!

The Grey

Here is the teaser trailer for the movie The Grey coming to theatres 2012. Smithers was graced with Hollywood this past winter. Filming happened on the mountain and in town February 2011. Watch and see if you can recognize some of the scenery!

Thank you for the Great Summer!

We wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came up and experienced the top of the mountain with us this summer. Every one of our visitors made it an enormous success. We had guests from our own area to as far away as Holland, Portugal and South Africa! We had some great weather days that allowed us to see the entire beautiful Bulkley Valley, and some not so nice days when some brave souls still rode and got to have an entirely different experience. Thanks to Nancy for feeding us in the Warming Hut Canteen at the top and keeping us warm with hot chocolate and a cozy fire. We had our first mountain bikers ride up with their bikes and enjoy the challenging trails on our North Side.
We also had great fun serving you delicious fresh food in the Panorama Lodge. Our team; Chrissy, Julia and Shannon were always excited to meet everyone and hear their stories.
It’s a blessing to be able to deliver and feel so much joy. We cannot wait to do it all again next year!
