The Mountain

Your Boutique Mountain Escape —All Year Long

While ski operations pause, Hatley Pointe stays open for dining, events, and fresh mountain air. As we prepare for an unforgettable winter, know that your experience is our top priority. With limited capacity, little to no lift lines, and elevated après offerings, we deliver a personalized escape that often sells out—so we highly recommend reserving early.

Après Ski

Mountain Safety

Stay on Trails

Ski only on designated, trails and observe signage and warnings to navigate the terrain safely and prevent encounters with hidden  hazards.

Check Weather

Blizzards bring low visibility, high winds, and extreme cold, increasing the risk of accidents. Check the weather before you go!

Skiing at Night

Night skiing is a thrill on our designated, well-lit, slopes. Stay on marked trails, as visibility is reduced, and check with staff if you have any safety concerns.

Know Your Limits

Ski within your ability to prevent injuries. Don’t push yourself beyond what feels safe.  A companion is essential for safety in case of emergencies.

Proper Gear

Dress in layers, wear a helmet, and use goggles to protect against the cold and sun glare.
