“I am pleased to announce the reopening of the Marble Mountain Ski Hill. I have no doubt this will come as welcome news to the many residents of the west coast as well as residents throughout the entire province who are avid skiers and for those who enjoy the various outdoor recreation activities offered at the Hill. The re-opening process is being designed to ensure public safety, so I encourage users to follow all the public health guidelines and restrictions that will be in place. We are also happy to offer early bird pass sales as of November 2. Once the reopening plan is finalized, we will share the details.”
