Asessippi Ski Area is the largest ski resort in Manitoba. It has a vertical drop of 400 ft, the second largest in the province. It is approximately 30 kilometers south of the town of Roblin, and 20 kilometers north of the town of Russell. The resort is built into the side of the Shell River Valley, and is close to Asessippi Provincial Park.
Asessippi Ski Area & Resort opened and was named "Canada's Best New Attraction" in 2000 by Attractions Canada. In 2005 work on the cottage development began. Since the three original models where introduced, our team has worked with our cottage owners in designing more options with plenty of custom features in order to create your perfect dream cottage.
Sizes and styles all vary but quality and comfort is consistant in every design. All of our cottages are built for year round use. Ski in / Ski out or Riverview lots are available.
Your recreation property at Cottage Cove is a four season delight. Skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, skating and downhill snow tubing are just some of the activities you can in enjoy in the winter. In summer explore the entire park, floating on the Shell River or boating on the Lake of the Prairies, you will also have access to the marina just below the development.
The rental shop is well equipped with approximately 800 sets of shaped skis and 300 hundred sets of snowboards & boots, however occasionally we have run out of specific sizes. So if you want to make sure your equipment is here, ready plus receive "front of the line" service you can pre book your rentals. Please note there is a $9.50 pre set fee for this service. You may also purchase your lift ticket when your reserve your equipment, so your lift ticket will be waiting for you with your equipment, avoiding any line ups at the ticket counter.
Lessons for children 6 and under are offered by the Asessippi Snow School but must be a private lesson or the Kinder Package which include lift, lesson and rentals. The instructor will want to have both hands and eyes free to look after your preschooler one child at a time. They have many methods that will assist your child in learning how to ski. For snowboarding private lessons are required under the age of 8. The Asessippi Snow School recommends that preschoolers learn how to ski first before they learn to snowboard. For more information please call the Asessippi Snow School at 204-564-2000. You can also pre book your preschoolers private lesson with them.
This is where the good times are, the memories for you, your children and your grandchildren. Community is important to us and you will find plenty of activities to meet your neighbours.
