That is what many\u00a0Ontario\u00a0resorts are experiencing this season,\u201d Nichol said.<\/p>\n<p>Many ski hills rely on artificial snow-making to boost supply of the white stuff. The technology involves using machines to spray a mix of water and compressed air, which turns into snowflakes, and it\u2019s not new; the Canadian ski industry has used it since the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s expected to become even more important as climate change upends the usual seasonal patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Lovell said snow-making complements snowfall, helping keep the powder consistent for skiers. Because of Ontario\u2019s lower elevation, she said ski hills in the province rely more on snow-making than those out west.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe complement of snow-making with natural snow actually makes for a better ski experience,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>It has already been a great season, Bennett said, and artificial snow is part of that.<\/p>\n<section id=\"content-dynamic-trending-stories\" class=\"l-inlineStories l-inlineStories--tile u-hide-tablet-landscape\" aria-label=\"Dynamic trending stories section\">\n<p>\n\t\t<span class=\"l-inlineStories__title c-heading c-heading--strikethrough\">Trending Now<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<ul class=\"l-inlineStories__posts c-posts c-posts--inline \">\n<li class=\"c-posts__item\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/11017491\/teddi-mellencamp-brain-tumours-emergency-surgery\/\" class=\"c-posts__inner\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-posts__media \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-posts__thumbnail\" data-src=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/teddi-mellencamp-emergency-surgery-tumour.jpg?quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=336&amp;h=224&amp;crop=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"336\" height=\"224\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-posts__details\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"c-posts__headlineText\" title=\"Teddi Mellencamp reveals she has \u2018multiple\u2019 brain tumours, will undergo surgery\" data-title=\"\">Teddi Mellencamp reveals she has \u2018multiple\u2019 brain tumours, will undergo surgery<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-posts__item\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/11017282\/donald-trump-tariffs-reciprocal-announcement\/\" class=\"c-posts__inner\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-posts__media \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-posts__thumbnail\" data-src=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-reciprocal-tariffs.jpg?quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=336&amp;h=224&amp;crop=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"336\" height=\"224\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-posts__details\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"c-posts__headlineText\" title=\"Donald Trump announces sweeping global reciprocal tariffs\" data-title=\"\">Donald Trump announces sweeping global reciprocal tariffs<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<p>\u201cWe certainly have been still making snow, but \u2026 when you mix the two, you know, man-made snow and natural snow, and a good amount of natural snow, it really does create a different winter skiing experience,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad\">\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This winter got cold early on, helping increase snow-making capabilities, Lovell said.<\/p>\n<p>But a dumping of snow like the one\u00a0Ontario\u00a0got this week doesn\u2019t mean Blue Mountain employees are off the hook.

Some 16 hills still don\u2019t have man-made snow operations and require Mother Nature to co-operate so they can open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this storm, all 75 ski areas will be in operation,\u201d Juneau said. \u201cWe will not be able to hope for better ski conditions than this weekend and the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While 2024 was not actually a banner year snow-wise, Juneau said 2023 was the best season in the previous 16 years. Meanwhile, 2025 is looking like another solid year, with consistent snowfall since New Year\u2019s Day and forecasts anticipating that hills will be open through Easter weekend.<\/p>\n<p>For some parts of Central and Eastern Canada, including southern\u00a0Ontario\u00a0and southern Quebec, more snow is still expected heading into the weekend. For some, it\u2019s a long weekend too, with a holiday Monday in several provinces.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad\">\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>British Columbia\u2019s ski resorts haven\u2019t had major snowfalls in recent days but they are still enjoying the benefits of a big dump received at the start of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Whistler Blackcomb, north of Vancouver, and Big White in the B.C. Interior both say snow conditions are \u201cpacked\u201d heading into the weekend.
