Whispering Pines Ski Hill – “Have been a fan of this place for a long time now, the cinnamon buns  are out of this world and they have plenty of runs that have great flow to them. A hidden gem.”

Andrew Walker, Google Review

Kids can attend summer camp at David Thompson Bible Camp or Blue Devil Wilderness Camp. Snowmobilers can enjoy the extensive groomed trails available through the Peace Valley Snow Riders club, and ATVers will soon be able to use the under-construction ATV park east of Cleardale.

Visitors travel far and wide to get their hands on these cinnamon buns. Keep an eye out while on the hill for local wildlife friends crossing the coniferous tree-bordered runs. It’s not unusual to come across a deer, moose or even a fox.
