| Frequently Asked Questions About Our Mountain How do I find out the conditions before leaving home? You can visit our website homepage at www.searchmont.com to view the most up to date conditions from the Weather Network Ski Report or our own mountain report, blog and webcam pages. Or you can switch your T.V. to the weather channel to get the most up to date conditions.
When is last run?
Last run is usually called approximately 15 minutes before the lifts close for the day, and again at night when we have night skiing.
There's no snow in my backyard; how do you have snow?
90% of our mountain is covered with a snowmaking system. When temperatures drop below freezing, we are able to produce our own snow, even when Mother Nature can't. It is also typically a few degrees colder in Searchmont than the Sault. If it's raining in town, it might be snowing here!
Have you got a map of the hill?
Trail maps are conveniently located at the base of our main slope, at the top of each lift, and in our brochure. Stop by Guest Services to obtain your own portable copy of the map.
What is the vertical drop at Searchmont Resort?
We have a vertical drop of 750 feet. One of the highest verticals in Ontario!!!
Does the hill have a Terrain Park?
Searchmont Resort's Terrain Park is located on our main slope. You'll find boxes, rails, rollers, and jumps located throughout the park. Some of our locals often build jib parks at the bottom of Champs too.
Is the hill groomed?
Most of our terrain is groomed. We have a few runs that never see the tiller or blade of a groomer. After a heavy snowfall, if you're lucky, you'll find some ungroomed powder runs for your enjoyment.
How do I get to the hill? Travel north of Sault Ste. Marie (Highway 17 North) and turn onto Hwy 556 at Heyden. Follow this highway for 29 kms and you will find Searchmont Resort. There is directional signage at Highway 556 and also at the 3km mark from Searchmont Resort.
What time do you open? Our slopes open at 9:30am daily and our main lodge opens at 9:00am daily. All /services hours of operation.
