In a long-awaited turn of events, ski enthusiasts rejoiced as Table Mountain Ski Resort opened its lifts near the Battlefords for the first time this season on Saturday.
The weather at first too hot, then recently too cold, is now just right for the slopes.
Ryan Young, an avid snowboarder, took to the slopes for the first day of the season on Saturday.
“We're out here shredding some pow pow. Beautiful day, great weather, sweater weather. Great snow, a little rough in a few spots, but some great jumps. Just out here living my best life,” he said.
The winter season has been full of challenges for outdoor recreation.
Last week's frigid temperatures, dipping as low as -35 C, posed challenges for opening the lifts, explained Lawrence Blouin, the general manager of Table Mountain.
