The City of Greater Sudbury says no decisions have been made on requiring proof of residency to use the city’s two municipally owned ski hills this month.
All ski hills in Ontario have been shut down due to the COVID-19 provincial lockdown, which started on Dec. 26.
Currently, the lockdown is due to be lifted in Northern Ontario on Jan. 9, meaning ski hills in this area of the province will be allowed to reopen. The lockdown will remain in place in the rest of the province for another two weeks, as will ski hill closures in southern Ontario.
Two Northern Ontario ski hills — Laurentian Ski Hill in North Bay and Boogie Mountain Ski Hill in Espanola — announced this week they will only allow skiers from the surrounding region to use their facilities while the lockdown continues in southern Ontario.
They will require proof of residency before selling patrons lift tickets, essentially banning people from southern parts of the province from using their facilities, at least for a few weeks.
Sudbury.com reached out to the City of Greater Sudbury to ask what the city’s plans are for its ski hills once they open.
A spokesperson for the city said in an emailed statement no decisions have been made at this time with regard to requiring proof of residency to ski.
“The city is awaiting updates from the province with respect to the lockdown and any further restrictions,” the statement said.
In terms of when the two local ski hills will open, the statement said in the case of Adanac Ski Hill, that depends on further direction from the province.
Lively Ski Hill requires a sufficient amount of both man-made and natural snow on the ski runs and ski lift loading/unloading areas, the statement said. At this time, the Lively hill does not have a sufficient base of snow to open.
People are asked to visit the city’s website for opening day announcements and conditions.
