Although hampered slightly by the ongoing pandemic, skiers and snowboarders celebrated the season-ending Schnai Day April 11.

“It definitely wasn’t the same as other years, but we had a costume contest with great prizes from our sponsors and an awesome turnout,” said Hudson Bay Mountain (HBM) manager Lex Rei-Jones.

After having to close last season due to COVID-19, the ski hill had a successful year this year.

“I’m pretty relieved and proud that we were able to make it to our scheduled last day, given the circumstances,” Rei-Jones said.

While HBM is now officially closed for the season, the company will run the Panorama T-bar lift April 17, 18, 24 and 25, weather permitting.
