A hill whose headline feature is night skiing needs one place that says, tonight, whether the lights are on — instead of that answer living only in a phone call or a social post.
Why Salmo
A small volunteer hill that is genuinely known for something
Placeholder photo Famous for the skiing after dark
The hill describes itself as famous for its great night skiing on fully lit runs that are always groomed to perfection — and calls it the best night skiing in the Kootenays. That is the headline, so this concept leads with it on every page.
Placeholder photo Terrain, in the hill’s own words
Groomed runs, gently sloping runs, moguls, steep slopes, pristine powder, racing courses, a half pipe and a bunny hill. That is the full published list, quoted rather than embellished — because it is a good list and it does not need help.
Placeholder photo Priced so the whole town can ski
In its own words, the hill proudly maintains low ticket prices to keep the cost of skiing attainable. Children under six and skiers seventy and over ski free on a day ticket, and a season pass for either costs $25.
The prices are published
The season they belong to is not
Every figure below is on the hill’s own site. Not one of them says which winter it covers, and the early-bird cutoff has no year on it either. A parent deciding tonight whether $975 is this season’s family cap or last season’s has no way to tell.
- Regular adult
- $440
- Family maximum
- $975

Placeholder photo The record
What we could confirm, and what we could not
This is an unsolicited concept, so everything on it had to come from the hill’s own published words. Where the hill has not published something, this site says so rather than filling the gap with a plausible number.

Almost everything else
Vertical drop, run count, lift count, opening and closing dates, daily hours and night-ski hours. This concept leaves them blank rather than guess.
The hill runs on volunteers
Salmo Ski Hill is a volunteer-run non-profit. Low ticket prices, lit runs and nightly grooming all come out of the same pot of donated time.
