Still so much work to be done to clear the trails and fix power lines to the cell towers that supply the province’s 911 emergency call system. Thanks to the crew from Quebec that are here today. #nspower #hardatwork #thankful @triwireconstruction.
The massive clean up after Hurricane Fiona is underway. We are making some headway, however we still have no power and there is a lot of of work to be done before we're ready to safely open - so we are cancelling this weekend's October 1&2 Fall Colours. Our team will keep working away and hopefully be able to run for Thanksgiving weekend. Please keep checking back. If you've pre-purchased a ticket for this weekend, email skiadmin@skiwentworth.ca to change the date. Our team has cleared the trees off the new chairline, thankfully no major damage. Many trails remain impassable. All mountain biking and hiking trails are closed while we undertake tree removal. Stay safe and we hope to see you soon!
