Summer at Optimist Hill

The snow may be gone, but the hill is now open!

This summer, Optimist Hill becomes a place to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with friends and family. Whether you’re stopping by for an ice cream, taking the dog for a walk, playing some disk-golf, or exploring Diefenbaker Park, there’s always a reason to come up to the hill.

More Than Winter

Most people know Optimist Hill as Saskatoon’s community ski and snowboard facility. During the summer, we’re working to bring the same community spirit to the hill in new ways.

Summer at The Chalet is just getting started.

Throughout the season, we’ll be exploring new activities, events, food offerings, community gatherings, and opportunities to keep the hill active year-round.

Looking Ahead

The Chalet is more than an ice cream stop.

It’s the beginning of a new summer chapter for Optimist Hill.

We’re excited to grow, experiment, and create new reasons for families, neighbours, visitors, and supporters to spend time at the hill long after the snow melts.

Follow us on social media for updates, events, and new additions throughout the summer.

Winter Will Be Back

While we’re enjoying the sunshine, preparations for another great winter season are already underway behind the scenes.

Thank you for supporting Optimist Hill and helping us continue to grow as a year-round community destination.

We’ll see you at the hill.
