The mountain
23 runs, one very long T-Bar
Murray Ridge climbs from 700 metres at the lodge to 1,231 metres at the summit — 530 metres of vertical spread across groomers, glades and steep chutes, with a freestyle park that grows every year.

The longest T-Bar in North America
Finished in 1977 by a handful of locals, the T-Bar is still the hill's spine. The haul rope runs close to four kilometres over fifteen towers, and it carries you from the base to the peak in about twelve minutes. There are unload points partway up at towers four and eight, so you do not have to ride to the summit to lap the lower mountain.
It has been quietly modernised over the years — the original diesel engines are long gone, replaced by an electric drive, and the towers now use hydraulic spring boxes rather than brakes.

Terrain
Easy groomers to steep chutes, all off one lift
The runs are fully patrolled and groomed, and there are roughly as many glade runs as there are cut ones. Most are named after the local businesses that donated the time and machinery to clear them.
-
Learning terrain
A fully maintained, supervised bunny hill sits right by the lodge, with its own lift ticket at $15 a day so a first-timer never pays for the whole mountain.
-
Groomers
Immaculately groomed, wide and long — the kind of cruising runs that let a family ski together all day without anyone getting scared or bored.
-
Steeps and glades
Roughly as many glade runs as groomed ones, plus cliff drops and steep chutes off the upper mountain for people who have skied here their whole lives.

Nine features, five jumps, more every year
The freestyle park is one of the newest in the province — professionally built rails, boxes and jumps, maintained all season by dedicated staff rather than left to melt out after Christmas. There is a supervised rail park alongside the bunny hill too, so the step up from first box to first jump does not have to happen all at once.
Slopestyle competitions run through the winter, and the park crew add features as the base builds.

The map lives here in the real build
The hill's hand-drawn trail map — designed by a local forester on the board — would sit on this page as a zoomable, downloadable image that works on a phone in a lift line. We have left it out of this concept because the artwork belongs to the ski club.
