Trails are now closed for the season. Warm weather and sunshine beginning of the week has melted out the snow. We had an incredible last week of spring skiing, skiing until April 22nd and logging the last grooming on April 20th. Great seeing everyone out the end of the season to enjoy the special end of year conditions. Thanks everyone that helped make it a memorable season! Check back for updates and spring photos as we transition to spring and summer!

Trails are now closed. The trails will be open again for mountain biking after the snow melts and frost goes out, hopefully early May. Even if the snow is completely gone and temps are in the 60’s, the frost still takes a few extra weeks. Riding on trails when frost is not out will damage the trails. Check back for updates!
