Does anyone here ever ski Beauvais Lake near Pincher Creek? Been working in the area and doing some hiking, there some great trails with some nice looking meadows for turns, I wonder if there's decent snow here ever

Haven’t skied Beauvais but have done some hiking there. About 15 minutes down the road past Beaver Mines (roughly 1/2 an hour from Beauvais) is a place called Syncline https://synclinecastletrails.org/ that can be fun. I’ve parked near there a few times and took off on skis to explore Castle Falls and area. Snow conditions can be hit or miss. Stepping Stones B&B in Beaver Mines is comfortable and the hosts are great.

Thanks for the tip on Syncline, will definitely check it out first time I get the chance. I'm done in the Pincher Creek area for now unfortunately, will be in your hood for a couple weeks but working the night shift with no time for exploring:(. Will bring trail runners for a quick jaunts
