City of Toronto’s Earl Bales Ski and Snowboard Centre is now open for the season for residents and visitors to enjoy. The season starts today and – weather permitting – runs through Sunday, March 16. The City is pleased to offer equipment rentals for both lesson participants and those eager to hit the slopes independently, whether skiing or snowboarding. The daily operation of the Earl Bales Ski & Snowboard Centre depends on weather and snowfall. The City reminds residents and visitors to check for updates before hitting the slopes.
Information about the hours of operation, service alerts and fees for lift tickets, passes and rental equipment can be found on the City’s webpage. Helmets are required for all participants registered in lessons and are highly recommended for patrons of all ages. While skiing and snowboarding have participation fees, the City also offers many free winter recreation programs and activities that can be found on the Welcome TO Winter webpage.
“Come and have fun at Earl Bales Ski and Snowboard Centre, one of the city’s best-kept winter secrets. There’s a bunny hill that’s great for first timers, ski and snowboard rentals are available. I taught my two granddaughters to ski here – come and check it out!” – Mayor Olivia Chow
