We've partnered up with Go Ski Alberta this week to give away a family pack of lift tickets to join us this winter! Watch as we take over their Facebook this week, talking about the great community gem that is PPK.

And that’s it - the holiday break is a wrap. Thank you to everyone who joined us this Christmas season. Pass Powderkeg will be open again on Wednesday for Senior’s Ski and Night Skiing. See you then!

Great news - thanks to the hardwork of our team, the Upper mountain will be open tomorrow, December 29. RUNS OPEN: Angel, Spina, Easy Street and Daredevil. Chinook and X-Presso are NOT open. Be aware - there might be a slight delay opening the Upper mountain tomorrow morning as we put the finishing touches on.

We're excited to announce that Bush Trail (our beginner run) is ready for the weekend. See you Saturday! To stay up to date on what runs/lifts are open at any time, please see the Snow Conditions page on our website.

Tis' the Season. With the holidays just around the corner, please see our operating schedule for the next 2 weeks. Please note that we expect our Learn to Turn Lessons to fill up quickly. If you are seeking a lesson, please book as soon as possible through our website. We currently are not restricting lift tickets, but we ask that you purchase these online as well. We also ask that you familiarize yourself with our COVID operating protocols prior to arriving. They can be found on the website.

Check out this video of the new unload point for the lower lift. Zoom Zoom Zoom all the way down to the Lodge. What a difference! Thanks to everyone who joined us this past weekend to kick off another winter season at Pass Powderkeg.

With some fresh snow overnight, it's going to be another fun day on the hill. Our lift issues from yesterday have been sorted. Dress warm.

Happy Opening Day! Lots of good, clean fun happening amidst postcard views. Hope to see you out this weekend. Open 10-4 today and Sunday.

And it’s official - the Lower Lift Extension is complete! We are excited to open up for you tomorrow to enjoy this major improvement in skiing and riding. Just a reminder - operations have changed. Please check our website for more information. Food and beverage will be available for take out only. Tables will be available outside. One household per table only.

We are excited to finally announce the opening of the Lower Mountain this Saturday! Operating hours this weekend will be 10m-4pm for both Saturday and Sunday. The Face will be open, and we recommend intermediate/advanced skiers and riders on the Lower mountain only. We know the announcements made this week have an impact on what Pass Powderkeg will look like for the upcoming 4 weeks. While we don’t have all the answers yet, we know that we will be able to ski and ride this... weekend. Season Passes are available for purchase online. Photos can also be uploaded after purchase or emailed in to get pre-printed. We are encouraging everyone to purchase online and either upload photos or send them to [email protected]. Waivers must be signed in person. We are offering Office Hours from 1pm-6pm Thursday and Friday in order to get as many passes printed as possible.

While we work towards opening, we ask that you do not ski or snowboard at PPK on off-hours as there is machinery and snowmaking equipment still on the main run. We aim to have this complete soon! Thank you for your co-operation.
