Here’s the latest I can confirm about Earl Bales Park from publicly available sources up to now:

Key updates

• Earl Bales Park in Toronto operates its ski and snowboarding centre as the city’s only within-city ski hill. Seasonal openings typically begin in January and run through March, subject to weather conditions. Recent coverage highlighted the hill opening for the 2025 season and noted seasonal hours and on-site ticketing and rentals.[1][2]
• The park itself remains a multi-use urban park with trails, a community centre, and memorials, and is named after Robert Earl Bales, a former reeve of North York.[2][6]
• News coverage from 2024–2025 reiterated that the ski hill operates on limited hills at times depending on conditions, and that weather can affect season length. For instance, reports from CP24 and Global News in early 2024–2025 described openings and operational caveats.[3][8]

How to verify current status

• If you’re planning a visit, confirm on-site by calling the Earl Bales Park facility or checking the park’s and ski centre’s official social feeds for real-time updates.[6]
