A little more La Nina a little less El Nino
Thursday, 16 June 2016 by Cali Sammel

That’s what the experts are saying.  And while many people across Canada may be rolling their eyes, for winter outdoor enthusiasts it’s music to their ears.

What is La Nina anyways?
La Niña is the positive phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and is associated with cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.  (According to Wikipedia)

Okay, but what does that really mean?
According to Dave Phillips, senior climatologist at Environment Canada – “In B.C. there is a high probability that we can expect a more frigid winter.  A little cooler, a little bit more snow..”

Read more about what exactly La Nina means and more from Dave Phillips on the CBC website.

For a longer and even more scientific explanation of La Nina visit the Weather Network website.

In conclusion,
La Nina = Happy Skiers & Snowboarders

Easter Chair’s Off Season TLC treatments
Monday, 13 June 2016 by Cali Sammel

Kimberley's Easter Chair gearbox being removed for a well-deserved rebuild and serviceThe Easter Chair is an oldie but a goodie, adding charm and character to the back side of Kimberley Alpine Resort. Like all old girls she loves care and attention, a process which started back in 2010 with a new diesel engine and transmission.  2011 brought a whole “new” set of chairs, care of retiring Nakiska’s Gold Chair to its new home in Fernie on the Polar Peak.

This year the love comes in the form of a complete service and rebuild of the gear box. Unlike a modern lift where you can pop the gear box out of the drive station by undoing a few bolts, for Easter this means taking the haul rope off, dropping the bull wheel, then craning out the gear box. Good thing we won’t need to do this for another 25 years or so!
