THUNDER BAY – As temperatures continue to rise, the skiing and snowboarding season in Thunder Bay is also coming to an end with April 10 being Mount Baldy Ski Area’s last day and Loch Lomond Ski Area is planning to run through Easter weekend and then to see how long the weather holds up.
“We’ll see, we’ll see what happens. I mean, at this time of year with the warm weather, it can always deteriorate rather quickly but we have over a metre of base on all of our runs right now, so there’s a lot of snow and a lot of great skiing left,” said Jason Gerry, general manager, Loch Lomond Ski Area.
Vicki Verina, snow school director, Mount Baldy Ski Area says it’s always bitter sweet to end a season.
“It’s always sad when it comes down to the last day of the season but everyone in the ski and snowboard community loves spring skiing so the stokes really high but there’s still a bit of sadness knowing the season’s coming to an end,“ said Verina.
“This year’s been amazing because we’re off of COVID and we didn’t have any shutdowns this winter. We were able to run every day.”
Mount baldy wasn’t the only ski area to have an amazing year coming out of the pandemic; Loch Lomond had its best season yet.
“This has actually been one of our best years. We’ve been running We’ve been running Loch Lomond for eight seasons and this has actually been by far our best season yet and we’re super excited,” said Gerry
“We have so many new people coming out. We enjoy every minute of it. Our snow school programs have never been larger, and we’re looking forward to coming back next season for some more fun.
