Earl Bales ski hill provides important and accessible opportunities for recreation. Warmer and warmer winters in Toronto might change that.
, the change was proposed and subsequently executed because of “deteriorating infrastructure” and the “uncertainty of a changing climate.”
Winter temperatures are getting progressively warmer across Canada, which means less snow, said Xuebin Zhang, a senior research scientist at Environment and Climate Change Canada. Track3 used to rely on both Centennial Park and Earl Bales to conduct accessible programming at their beginner-friendly slopes. This year, its instruction was not only limited to North York, but partly cancelled. Cross-country students went on a forest hike during unfavourable conditions, but its alpine program struggled with a lack of snowpack in the beginner area.
James Pasternak, councillor for Ward 6 York Centre, where Earl Bales is located, was sad to see the facility at Centennial Park close, though he agrees it was getting too difficult to service and maintain. “We’re left with one now, and it’s my position that it’s a vital recreational asset that should be kept,” he said.
“Resiliency includes infrastructure work to make sure we’re ready for extreme climate events like road flooding,” he said. “So why wouldn’t we also apply that thinking to protect our recreational assets?”
