Snow Valley is a ski hill in Edmonton’s Whitemud Park, just off the Whitemud Freeway at 119 Street. It’s run by Snow Valley Ski Club, a not-for-profit registered in 1961 and governed by a volunteer board. The top is 665 metres (2,182 feet) and the base 625 metres (2,051 feet), a vertical of 40 metres (131 feet) on about 20 acres. Four lifts, a quad chair, a triple chair and two carpets, serve eight runs and two terrain parks, one for beginners and a main park. The hill is open until 9 pm on weekdays in the regular season. The season usually runs from November to March.
Web Camera 1 is a close view of one chairlift and its chairs. Web Camera 2 is the wide view of the base, with both chairlifts, the carpet and the slope above. Early in the season, the cams show how much of the hill is covered. Snow Valley’s Hours & Conditions page lists how many lifts and runs are open and how many runs are groomed.
Take the 119 Street exit off the Whitemud Freeway and head south. Turn right at the lights 300 metres on, at Whitemud Park, and follow the road down and under the freeway to the parking lot. Buses don’t go to the door, but there are stops at the Whitemud Park entrance and on the north side of the freeway. Edmonton International (YEG) is the city’s airport.
Alberta doesn’t require winter tires, but the province recommends four winter or all-weather tires in severe winter conditions. 511 Alberta shows road conditions.
