Gwynne Valley Ski Area

The Gwynne Valley Ski Area is run by The Wetaskiwin Ski Club. It is a non-profit organization with the goal of providing affordable and easily accessible recreation. In order to keep prices low most of the work that is done at the Gwynne Ski Hill is done by volunteers. We have a tow rope to get the snowboarders up and in the terrian park quickly. The main T-bar goes to the top of the hill and has many runs coming down from the top. There is rental equipment available, including skiis, snowboards, snow blades and helmets. The hill has a north face and is 10km east of Wetaskiwin on Hi-way 13, or 20km west of the junction at Hi-way 21 & Hi-way 13 West of Camrose. The ski area is in the heart of Gwynne Valley, at the south end of coal lake. When you drop down into the valley on Hi-way 13, turn south RR230 (right after the bridge coming from Wetaskiwin). Go to the first stop sign (1km), turn west following the old Hi-way. Just before the Hi-way starts up the valley, turn left (south). Looking to the south you will be able to see the lifts and the runs of the ski hill. Follow this windy road, across the rail-way tracks, across another bridge and the hill is the first left. You are welcome to come join us Friday evenings from 6:30 - 9:30 and Saturday & Sunday from 11 - 4:30. There are also special events such as our New Years Eve Deep-Freeze and Family Day. We are always looking for more volunteers to help with ski patrol and other projects.
