Heads up to anyone that is heading out on hemlock trail in the coming weeks.
The slash piles that were left as a result of the logging done on hemlock last year will be burnt soon (as early as this week). Please stay clear of the area if you see they’re being burnt.
BC timber sales staff will be conducting the burning. The burning will only occur when the weather conditions are correct and will be done when the venting index ensures there will be minimum smoke.
They will also have machinery out there when burning occurs to make sure the fire is kept contained and is fully out once the burning is complete.
BC timber sales will also be replacing a few culverts to help with drainage on hemlock which should help make the skiing experience even better next year.
Thank you for your cooperation.
We are hiring a Jackrabbits and Bunnies coordinator for the 2026-2027 season. Head to https://www.skiblackjack.ca/jobs to apply!
Don’t wait, purchase your seasons pass before October 31st. Prices go up on Nov 1st

Mark Your Calendars! This year’s Al Fisher Loppet is happening on Saturday March 14th.
This year’s race will put an emphasis on FUN!
Due to Black Jack not currently having a race director, we have had to go a little simpler on the race. There will be no official chip timing, we will have a race clock at the finish, but participants will be responsible for keeping track of their own times.
We have new courses planned for this year. Keep an eye out on the website and social media for details.
We hope to see you out there!
