Winter Hill Status (Tue, Oct 20, 2026)
All Runs are Groomed Daily.
The NEW “Summit T-Bar Lift” was installed and opened in 2022 to give access to the runs previously serviced by the chairlift.
Nitehawk’s Cold Weather Policy…and how decisions are made when extreme cold temperatures are in the forecast.
Cold Weather Closure Policy
Hill Operations
The hill may close if the “feels like” temperature, including wind chill, reaches –30°C or colder at any point during operating hours. If temperatures are forecast to warm up, we may delay opening until our half-day operating hours on Saturdays and Sundays rather than close for the entire day.
Lesson Programs
Lessons follow a –25°C “feels like” temperature cutoff, including wind chill, to help protect our participants, many of whom are young children. Lessons cancelled due to cold weather will be rescheduled. For multi-week programs, an additional lesson will be added at the end of the program. If temperatures are expected to warm up, morning lessons may be cancelled while afternoon lessons proceed as scheduled.
Aquatera Tube Zone
The Aquatera Tube Zone follows a –25°C “feels like” temperature cutoff, including wind chill. If the Tube Zone closes due to cold weather, tickets will receive a full refund, processed online within three business days. If you cancel your booking before Nitehawk announces a cold weather closure, a full refund may not apply.
How & When Decisions Are Made
To help our Guests & Staff plan, here’s when we make our operational decisions:
- Weekday evening operations: OPEN / CLOSE decision by 2:30 PM
- Weekend daytime operations: OPEN / CLOSE decision by 7:00 AM
We closely monitor forecasts each day and always make decisions with the safety of our guests and staff in mind.
Where to Find Updates
Once a decision is made, updates will be shared on:
- Our Facebook & Instagram pages
- Our website under “Hours” on our homepage
- Our Google Business listing
Please check our communication channels for the most up-to-date information before calling the hill, as staff may not be on site to answer the phone.
