Ski operations in town closed
PRINCE GEORGE – It’s not a familiar sound in late December at the Hart Ski Hill. The sound of trickling water outside and the sign says it all. “Closed due to weather.” Unseasonably warm weather that has coated the slopes and standing water and ice. Heartbreaking.
“Absolutely,” says Bernadette Kipping, President of the Hart Ski Hill Board. “I mean, that’s the last thing we want to do is close, but it’s too dangerous and we don’t want to take any chances with any of the kids. So all we can do and hope for is colder weather. And the snow guns to run them.”
Speaking of snow guns, there needs to be specific conditions to be able to use those guns. minus three, at least.
