Warmer morning ahead of a front moving in that looks to bring a little bit of snow! We’ve had some frosty mornings this week coating the grounds and trails with a layer of white. Cold nights good for cooling the ground down and preparing for frost.
We have had a fantastic fall of trail work and continuing this past week up until deer hunting. The trails are now closed for the upcoming deer hunting season. We will open the trails again when there is enough snow to groom for the ski and fat bike trails. Lodging for the winter season operations will begin the December 17th weekend. There is no lodging available for winter operations before that but if skiable snow, we will have the trails open for day skiing.
