MOUNT CAIN—Conditions are described as "early season variable", but the Vancouver Island's northernmost ski area opened New Year's Eve for a five-day holiday run.

Mount Cain will operate through Sunday, Jan. 4, with the cafe and accomodations also open. It is a partial opening, with some of the runs not yet ready for traffic, but volunteer groomers have worked to create great conditions on the open runs, the society's web site announced.

For information, call 1-888-668-6622 or visit www.mountcain.com. A pre-recorded snow line is available at 250-949-SNOW.
