Ski Cape Smokey: A Scenic Outdoor Destination Nestled in the heart of one of Canada's most picturesque regions, Ski Cape Smokey has been delighting visitors with exceptional skiing and outdoor experiences for decades. Originally built in the 1970s, this beloved ski hill has been operated by passionate local community volunteers for the past 10 years. In 2019, new owners, Cape Smokey Holdings, acquired the property with a vision to transform it into a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. While the ski hill and lodge facilities will continue to operate in a limited capacity during the transition, the new owners are committed to developing Ski Cape Smokey into a must-visit destination for a wide range of activities. Visitors to Ski Cape Smokey have consistently praised the friendly and helpful staff, the stunning views of the ocean and fall foliage, and the overall relaxed and down-to-earth vibe of the resort. The gondola ride, in particular, has been lauded as a highlight, offering breathtaking panoramic views and a peaceful, relaxing experience. Whether you're a seasoned skier or simply looking to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, Ski Cape Smokey promises an unforgettable outdoor adventure. As the resort transitions to its new vision, the future holds exciting possibilities for this beloved destination.
This hill dwarfs the other hills in Nova Scotia! Unreal terrain for being down east and so much future development is spinning up! This will be the best resort in the east one day!

Gorgeous, incredible view, especially in mid-October, when nature displays a riot of colors.

Did the gondola ride in October when the leaves were changing. Was very beautiful, and the drive up was scenic and pretty.
