The 2023-24 season will begin the 75th year of sliding down the slopes next to the Whitemud Creek in Edmonton. From skiers in bear trap bindings hiking up to the top of random slopes along the river valley to a full service ski area. You can read about how it all got started with excerpts taken from a book we commissioned for our 65th Anniversary which describes the beginning of this amazing organization.

About us
Snow Valley Ski Club is located on Edmonton's south side at Rainbow Valley. Accessed just off Whitemud Freeway on 119 street, we feature the best introduction to alpine activities. Skiing and snowboarding is taught 7 days a week between mid November and the end of Spring Break in March or early April, annually. 7 runs, a quad and triple chair, two carpet lifts let you enjoy riding at your pace never far from home. We feature a Guest Services area, Snow Rider ski and snowboard shop, a complete rental fleet and a food concession when it's time for a break to refuel. Rainbow Valley Campground: Edmonton's only campground with 75 sites nestled in a forest of trees. Snow Valley Aerial Park! It's a high ropes or aerial trekking tower located inside Rainbow Valley Campground. Over 100 challenges on 3 levels above the ground and up to 15m in the air. This is one of the safest physical outdoor activities. Each participant is in a full body harness and tethered to a steel safety line by a state of the art safety system. Other attractions now include Whitemud Creek Mining Co. a fun sluice for kids and Target Golf, a novelty range for irons only aiming up the ski hill. A summer patio is also coming! From May to October, the Lodge at Snow Valley, is a host to weddings and social celebrations while we also cater to corporate events, celebrations and functions. Seating for 200 is available for a buffet dinner and offers an amazing view of Rainbow Valley in Whitemud Park. Edmonton's River Valley trail system meanders through and provides an amazing rural backdrop in the midst of Alberta's capital city.
