Enjoying The 4 Seasons
All In One Day!
RECORD BREAKING TEMPERATURES ON THE EASTER WEEKEND SAW THE SKI SEASON END AND THE GOLF SEASON BEGIN
Temperatures in the mid-to-upper 20's ushered in the Easter Weekend and provided outstanding conditions for one last, glorious day of Spring Skiing in the warm sunshine.
While skiers were grabbing some rays on the hill, golfers were teeing up at Monterra at Blue Mountain. The warm temperatures allowed for both golfing and skiing throughout the Collingwood region on the Easter Weekend.
This Is Why We Live Here
4 Season Fun All In One Weekend
Blue Mountain opened early (at 7:30am) on Good Friday, allowing for some late season skiing and boarding in the warm sunshine. Even a breakdown of the only chairlift running didn't dampen the spirits of people who had arrived for one last ski day. The patios quickly filled up and everyone took a break while repairs were made.
Mayor Chris Carrier said that a day like this showcases the four-season lifestyle we all enjoy in Collingwood and throughout the southern Georgian Bay region.
Douglas Burton and Don Gallinger of Collingwood had all angles covered. They arrived at 7:30am on Good Friday for a few runs down Blue Mountain and then left to launch the boat in the nearby Nottawasaga River to officially kick off their water ski season.

Even the breakdown of the Silver Bullet chairlift at Blue Mountain Central couldn't take away from the festive spirit as skiers and boarders simply took a break at the bottom of the hill, in the warm sunshine.
