Little Smoky Ski Area hopes to open by the second week of December
Nestled along the riverbanks of the Little Smoky River is a little piece of winter paradise just waiting for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy.
“It’s a great family-oriented recreational facility, with many instructors that can get anyone skiing no matter the age,” says Bourgeois. “There’s so much to enjoy between the skiing, snowboarding, tubing and of course the Hilltop Café has great poutine and coffee.” “Hopefully we will open the Tube Park before Christmas,” says Bourgeoies. “Last year there was no tube park due to staff shortages.”He explains they are having similar issues finding staff this year, so if anyone 15 years or older is looking for a job he urges you to apply. He says they need staff in all different areas, from lift attendant to chalet employees.
Snow school is also offered for $40 for a private lesson, $27 for groups of two people or more. The hill is open weekends and holidays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. It will also be open on certain weekdays based on bookings from schools or other groups. Bourgeois and his staff update the online calendar frequently with scheduling, he suggests checking their website for confirmed ski hill hours of operation once open.

Feds should view Alberta Sovereignty Act as 'a warning' that needs careful 'wait-and-see' response, say strategistsObservers say Alberta Premier Danielle Smith would “love nothing more” than for Ottawa to take an aggressive response to her proposed sovereignty act, but instead the federal government should use a “unique Canadian strategy” to shape the narrative: “boring them to death.” Smith unveiled her much-anticipated bill—officially titled the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act—on Nov. 29, after months of build-up since she first proposed the idea during her run to be United Conservative Party (UCP) leader. While much of the speculation in the lead-up to the bill centred on how it would affect relations between Alberta and Ottawa, observers say some of the most concerning parts of the bill are how it would expand the executive powers of the Alberta government and diminish the legislature. That’s why many are suggesting that rather than engage in a jurisdictional squabble with a premier who may be looking to frame the debate on that very issue, the federal government should monitor the situation closely but not overplay its hand. Brian Topp, an NDP strategist who has served both the federal party and NDP provincial governments in Alberta and Saskachewan, said that a de-escalating approach is the best bet. NDP strategist Brian Topp said the federal government should use ‘a unique Canadian strategy’ on proponents of the act: ‘boring them to death.’ The Hill Times file photograph “The federal government under multiple recent prime ministers has dealt effectively with separatists in Quebec by boring them to death—by taking care to avoid provocations and real causes of grievance,” said Topp, whose time in government included a stint as chief of staff to former Alberta premier Rachel Notley. “It’s a unique Canadian strategy, perfectly suited to our national temperament,” he said, “and one that might work well with Danielle Smith, too.” Yan Plante, a Conservative strategist who has worked in the department of intergovernmental affairs, said the federal government would b
