Cape Smokey Winter FAQ

Do you offer rentals?

Yes! We have Rossignol ski and snowboard rentals, as well as snowshoes, to get you on the ski hill this season! Our sizes vary for both ski and snowboard rentals, so we have your entire family covered. We suggest that you pre-book your rentals with our online booking system, to speed up.

Will you be open for March Break with special events?

We will be open throughout all of March Break and University Reading Week. Keep an eye on our events page and our Facebook for up-to-date event information, and we look forward to seeing you at the top!

Can I bring my dog - are the gondola's pet friendly?

We love our furry friends! For the safety of you, your pet, and others, we kindly ask that only support animals ride the gondola. All leashed dogs are welcome at the base of the hill, but not in the lodge due to restraurant regulations. 

Do I have to purchase my ticket ahead of time?

All purchases are online.  We recommend booking ahead of time to get the best possible price.  
 

What is at the top of the mountain?

This winter, you’ll be able to ride the gondola to the top of Cape Smokey and have full access to new ski runs as well as established ones! We also have a snack shack at the top for those looking to take a break with a view. Our snowshoers are welcome to explore the primitive trail around the lake.

Are there bathrooms up on the mountain?

We do not currently have washroom facilities at the top of the mountain.

Are there larger group passes?

We do offer group rates for larger, organized groups. Please contact us at events@capesmokeyholding.com .

How long does the ride take?

We completely control the speed of our gondola, so the ride time may vary, depending on how busy we are, if we need to stop it to aid someone, or weather. In the summer, we had the trip set to about 8 minutes (one way). This winter, it will take around 5-6 minutes to get you to the top.

How much does it cost?

Pricing varies, so check out our pricing via capesmokey.ca/winter-ticketing!
