I knew that Norquay was open, but I didn't know that Ken Read was the owner. I though the ski hill still belonged to the Grandis?

These areas have had a decent start with natural snow. Probably the Northwest deluge cooled off enough by the time it got to the Alberta Rockies, as in the Tropical Punch of 2005.

I should warn that these are often the most severely impacted areas in terms of drought in El Nino years. 1992-93 and 1997-98 were sketchy nearly the whole season up there.

Partially -- the details are in the news story linked above.
