Ski Valley (Minnedosa)

Ski Valley was a small ski resort located near Minnedosa, Manitoba, Canada. It operated primarily as a local hill, offering beginner to intermediate ski and snowboarding terrain. The resort was known for its family-friendly atmosphere and accessibility. Ski Valley featured a limited number of runs serviced by a surface lift (typically a T-bar or rope tow). Its relatively low elevation and short season were characteristic of ski areas in the prairie provinces. The operation of Ski Valley was highly dependent on natural snowfall, supplemented by snowmaking capabilities. The resort is no longer operating; its closure attributed to factors such as weather variability, competition from larger ski resorts, and financial challenges. Information on the precise dates of operation and closure are often inconsistent across different sources.
