Skiers and snowboarders on Newfoundland s east coast can finally hit the slopes at White Hills in Clarenville.
Manager Pierre Mirault said staff were excited to open to the public Monday after the region moved to Alert Level 3 of the province s COVID-19 restrictions, but an issue with the lift delayed the official opening. He hopes the issue can be solved by Thursday, so the resort can open officially marking its latest-ever start to a season.
