Keep in mind there is usually a week or so before the full moon that can be counted on for good moonlight skiing with the moon rise earlier in the evening. After a full moon has passed with a later moon rise and set, some of the most interesting moonlight skiing is around 4 or 5am. Skiing in moonlight then skiing into a sunrise is a great experience.
A beautiful end to the week with clear skies and pleasant temps. Trails are drying up after one of the wettest Octobers on record. The trails will be closed during deer hunting season which starts tomorrow and runs until next weekend. The trails are in great shape and ready for snow. Trail maintenance will continue right up until the snow flies for real.

You can check availability for the Six Swedes and other cabins on the availability page. Couple more photos from the April 28th storm on the News page.
Most of the snow from Friday has melted off after rain, sun and warm temps on Sunday. Still able to sneak in one more ski Sunday morning before it went. A few patches here and there in the woods but should be gone by later today. It was a nice Halloween treat to have skiing the end of October. We will work on the trails when we can this week once it dries up a bit. We have enjoyed some beautiful sunrises and sunsets with the low angle of the sun and always nice to see the sun during these shorter days of November.
