All Clear Hills County in Alberta

Whispering Pines Ski Hill is Northern Alberta’s Best Kept Secret!

Whispering Pines Ski Hill is considered one of Northern Alberta’s premier hills —for good reason.
A short, scenic 200-kilometre drive from Grande Prairie, this ski hill offers exceptional hospitality, impeccable maintained runs and dramatic scenery. There are 17 runs, 1 chair lift, 1 conveyer, 1 T-Bar, rental shop and ski school. The wide variety of terrain provides excellent skiing and snowboarding for all skill levels. Take a break in-between riding and warm up in their day lodge and enjoy a delicious hot meal. Or sit in the upper chalet and and enjoy a picturesque view of the ski hill. Whatever you do make sure you get your hands on one of their epic cinnamon buns. 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.
