As of December 12th, 2024, the lower weather station reports 32cm of snow, with the ridge run at 49cm. Unfortunately, conditions are not suitable for opening just yet. There is potential good news, though, as long as it stays cold. Snow is in the forecast starting this weekend and into next week, so while it’s not guaranteed, there’s a chance Mount Cain might open just before the holidays.
Stay tuned for another snow update on December 18th! The Cain Lodge Hostel calendar will be live for bookings on Wednesday, December 25th at 5 PM!
In the meantime, here are some classic snow rituals to keep the snow vibes going:
1. Wear your pajamas inside out.
2. Sleep with a spoon under your pillow.
3. Flush ice cubes down the toilet.
4. Place a white crayon on the windowsill.
5. Do a snow dance.
6. Put a spoon in the freezer.
7. Throw ice cubes out the window.
8. Eat a sardine while doing a headstand.
9. Leave a penny on the windowsill.
10. Place an ice cube in each corner of the house.
11. Wear a toque to bed.
12. Run around the dining table five times before eating.
13. Make a sacrifice to Ullr.
14. Buy your Cain membership online to save time at the ticket booth. (You’ll thank me when it’s snowing and you’re in the lift line!).
And hey, if you’ve been holding onto some old pennies (since they’re not as useful these days), now’s the time to put them to work! Place one on your windowsill for some extra snow magic.
