At Beaver Lake on the mountain. There is a nice chalet there where you can go to warm up, bring your own food or buy good cafe food, use locker rooms and also rent skates and tubes for sliding.

Come anytime as of around 10am. We can convene for lunch in the chalet at around mid-day, and then go back out for however long...  (I was told that there will be a school group coming at 12pm, eating their lunch in the chalet from 12 to 12:30pm and then hitting the hills. So maybe we'll aim to get a few good runs in before they arrive and to eat at around 12:30pm.)
