I was standing in line yesterday at The Zephyr Mountain Lodge to get a key reprogrammed for our condo there and I overheard a guest asking about night skiing here in the Fraser Valley.  Aaaha, another subject for the Winter Park Lodging by Owner blog.  SolVista Basin is open for night skiing and tubing on select Saturday evenings this winter from 5pm-8pm.  Cost for night skiing is $10 per person, tubing is $10 per person or a combo ticket for $15 per person. Season pass holders at SolVista can night ski or tube for free. Scheduled night skiing and tubing dates include: Dec. 26, 27, 28, Jan. 2, 3, 17, 31, Feb. 14, 28, Mar. 14, 28.   So there is one date left for the 2008/2009 ski season and that is March 28th.  Information can be found by calling 888-283-7458.

Only one night of night skiing left here in Grand County so get your last turns in for the year!
