Table Mountain Regional Park
www.tablemountainregionalpark.com
Table Mountain Regional Park Authority was established in 1973
when it purchased the facilities of the Battleford’s Ski Club.
In 1974 Table Mountain hosted Saskatchewan’s fi rst winter games.
Ski events consisted of alpine and cross country races and ski jumping.
Since then, we’ve been host to many alpine and freestyle skiing events,
as well as snowboarding competitions.
We are Saskatchewan’s premier ski area. Our success comes from
re-investing any surplus funds in capital improvements, including:
• Two quad chairlifts and two magic carpets;
• 14,600 square foot chalet with food services and a licensed lounge.
The building also houses a rental shop and a pro shop offering a variety
of skiing & riding accessories;
• 50 acres of well treed terrain which includes 40% easiest, 50%
intermediate and 10% advanced runs;
• A Terrain Park was added in 2000 with many features for skiers
and boarders;
• Computerized, state of the art, pumping equipment, more than
35 snow guns and two snow cats to provide the best snow conditions
possible;
• A tubing park (1998) that includes two runs;
• Our snow school has a large staff of CSIA and CASI certifi ed
instructors, who offer a variety of programs to suit everyone’s needs,
from small children to seniors;
• Skiing safety is provided by the service of a Pro Patrol, supplemented
by volunteer members of the Canadian Ski Patrol System;
• Table Mountain is located 12 miles west of Battleford on Highway
40, then 6 miles northwest on a grid road. An alternative route is

Table Mountain Ski & Board Inc.
Table Mountain Ski & Board Inc. was organized in December 1964.
The small membership fi rst used the slopes at McMillan’s gravel pit,
graduating the following year to supporting a new facility with a rope
tow near the hamlet of Prongua in the Eagle Hills.
In the meantime, a group of skiers including Dr. Irwin Zacharias and
David Conroy made an air survey of the region and located the ski hill
now known as Table Mountain, 12 miles west of Battleford and four
miles north and west.
Work began to clear the north facing slope from bush in the fall of
1969. With some $11,000 in capital, guaranteed by 60 North Battleford
businessmen, Table Mountain was opened on January 1, 1970. Hundreds
of volunteer workers made Table Mountain possible. For every dollar
spent, it is estimated that $5 of volunteer labour was donated including
the construction and remodelling of a CN Railway Station moved from
Battleford.
Table Mountain Ski & Board Inc. includes: Alpine Race Team, Snow
Stars (ski and board lessons), Riderz (boarding clinics), Freestyle Skiing
and a Masters Club. The excellent facilities of Table Mountain are a
strong factor in the development of the Battlefords and District’s young
skiers and boarders.
