As Toronto winters get warmer, should the city keep its lone ski hill?

This is down 12 days from the 2022 season, and further still from previous years, when the ski season averaged 69 days and began in early December. Track3 used to rely on both Centennial Park and Earl Bales to conduct accessible programming at their beginner-friendly slopes. Some skiers, like Diana Alpeza, feel the opportunities presented at Earl Bales are worth investing in further. Affordability and inclusivity are essential to its programming, Alpeza said, values that are largely reliant on Earl Bales’ urban location. At Earl Bales, first-generation skiers can take lessons on weeknights, and use transit to get there.
