The ski and ice skating hill at Earl Bales Park in Toronto opens its doors for this season today.

The city said in a press release issued on Saturday that starting at 9 a.m. today, Sunday, the beginner and main hills at the ski and ice skating center in the park, located at 4169 Bathurst Street, will be open to residents and visitors.

Instructor-led lessons on those hills will begin on Monday.

The city said the race and south hills will remain closed as more snowfall is needed to build up their base layers.

The city urged those planning to visit the hill to check conditions before leaving in its release, as daily operations, including opening or closing the center, depend on the weather and snowfall.

The hills usually remain open until mid-March, but the length of the season depends on the weather.

The center offers rental services for skates, iceboards, poles, boots, and helmets with valid lift ticket proof. Renters must show valid government-issued ID.

The statement said that helmets are required for all participants in lessons on the hill, and highly recommended for customers of all ages.

The city charges $43.50 for a daily chairlift ticket, while hourly tickets can be purchased at different rates depending on age.

The cost to use the tow rope, which provides access to the beginner hill, is $14 per day for all ages.

Seasonal ski memberships can also be purchased in person, allowing access to the main hill, south hill, race hill, beginner hill, chairlift, and tow ropes, and more information about tickets, permits, service alerts, and rentals can be found on the city’s website.

More than 50 public skating rinks in Toronto began opening their doors to the public in early December.
