Trails are closed for fat biking. Once the frost goes out and the trails dry up, we will open for the dirt season. Typically mid to late April but weather dependent. Stay tuned!
Photos below from March 1st weekend when conditions were the best all season!
Trails are now closed for skiing and fat biking. Although there are skiable segments, back to back days near 50 degrees has taken its toll on the trails and we are closing out of caution. Hard to believe how fast conditions changed but it is the third week of March and anything can happen!
It’s been a great week of skiing and awesome to see so many people out to enjoy these special late season conditions that were some of the best of the year! Thank you for the support! We appreciate it very much. The trails will open again once the frost is out. Typically mid to late April.
59″ of snow so far this season. We began grooming on November 17th and have been grooming daily on the entire trail system, only missing a few days.

Trails are open for skiing. An incredible morning of skiing before big time warm up, high near 50, with a lot of melting. Great to see so many skiers out this morning.
We will have the trails open in the morning but use extreme caution. Lot of thin areas opening up. Recommended to ski on Sukkerbusk or Skaters Waltz 4km loop for skating. Grooming this morning on Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Rootin Tootin, Twin Lakes and Roy’s Run for classic. Skaters Waltz 4km loop groomed and open for skating. Trails will be closed most likely on Friday.
It’s been a great five days of skiing after snow last Friday which was very dense with good moisture. Packed and groomed out very nice and tracks setting up solid. Conditions don’t get much better, specially for mid March! Tuesday felt more like a January day with blustery conditions and snow falling in the afternoon. A great day of skiing nonetheless and awesome to see people out the whole day from early morning until sunset….just like the past five days….Just Ski!

Trails are open for skiing. Conditions don’t get much better, specially for mid March! Felt more like a January day with blustery conditions and snow falling in the afternoon. A great day of skiing and nice to see everyone out. Plan is to get out early Wednesday morning and groom all the trails groomed recently, working in the new snow that fell this afternoon, (around an inch or so). Looks to warm up quite a bit tomorrow and best to be skiing early in the morning and before noon. The new snow will be very slow and sticky once it warms up by noon, as forecasted.
Trails groomed include Sap Run, Mother Hen, Sukkerbusk, JibFly, Rootin Tootin, Twin Lakes and Roy’s Run for classic. Skaters Waltz 4km loop open for skating. Great late season conditions. Watch out for a few thin areas, especially if sun is out.
