Terrace’s Shames Mountain grapples with mounting deficit - Terrace Standard

Shames Mountain is facing a mounting deficit as inflation and higher wage costs weigh on the popular ski hill located off of Hwy 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert.

Théberge said the co-op membership had voted to maintain ticket and season pass pricing, but it has been struggling to keep up with increasing expenses. Théberge said Shames Mountain will start renting its facilities out for social and other functions this year.“We’re looking at a dog season’s pass so we have a good way of registering all the pooches that frequent our mountain,” Théberge added.

Shames Mountain is also contemplating cutting its openings to four days a week compared to five as one way to control expenses. “Seeing that we lost money last season, we knew that changes had to be made or else we would’ve lost more money,” Théberge said. “The changes that we’ve put in place — the reduction of operating days, the advent of new programming and products — is what’s going to make sure that we get to the finish line.”
