TEMPERATURE CUT-OFF: -25

USE YOUR VEHICLE AS YOUR BASECAMP
As space in the chalet is limited we recommend booting up at your car and leaving your personal belongings there for the day. Changing is only permitted in the yurt or “boot room” of the chalet. Chalet seating is reserved for folks ordering food or drink from the Trail’s End Cafe. Due to a shortage in parking, personal trailers are not permitted on site at this time.
PICKING UP YOUR LIFT TICKETS
When you arrive to the chalet your first stop will be to visit the Lift Ticket Window outside. There you will pick up or purchase your lift tickets, rentals and tubing passes for the day. This is also where you will check in for any pre-booked lessons or inquire about booking one. Once you have your lift tickets and rentals forms, you will then be directed to enter the chalet for rental fitting or head straight to the slopes if you’ve got your own gear!
LESSONS
Our 1 hour lessons for skiing and snowboarding can be booked by calling either our Falcon Ridge line at 204-349-8935 or our Falcon Trails Resort office at 204-349-8273. Advanced bookings are highly recommended and we ask that if you require rentals you please arrive 45 minutes before the start time of your lesson to ensure you get started on time. If you are running behind, please advise our staff as soon as you arrive that you have a lesson booked soon so they can fast track you through the rental fitting process.
CHALET AND YURT USAGE
Please remember that our chalet table seating is reserved for folks ordering food and beverage from the Trail’s End Cafe. Once you are finished your meal, we kindly ask that you please move along to make space for others.
We like to consider the yurt as our “community zone” where guests are welcome to bring their own bag lunches and hang out for the day. It is heated with a roaring wood fire and is a beautiful space to hang out in. The chalet space is geared for folks ordering and enjoying food and drink from the Trail’s End Cafe, getting rentals fitted, purchasing items in the gift shop, using the washrooms and waiting for take-out food orders.
CHANGING & PERSONAL BELONGINGS
As space is limited we recommend booting up at your car and storing your personal belongings there as well. If you’d prefer to come inside to change, you are welcome to do so in the chalet “boot room” or the yurt. Limited storage for personal items (bags and boots) is available in the “boot room”. Please do not leave personal belongings in and around the chalet main space and tables. Unattended items will be moved.
FOOD & DRINK
Come down to the hill for some delicious food from our Trail’s End Cafe! Dine-in seating in the chalet is reserved for customers of the Trail’s End Cafe. Once you are finished your meal, we kindly ask that you please clear out to make space for others. We have a yurt and outdoor patio with picnic tables available for bag lunches and personal food and drink.
RENTAL EQUIPMENT
Guests will be escorted into the chalet for fitting. Our technicians will be happy to serve you!
