Mountain Bike Trail Report

Trails are open. Great late season riding. Good to see folks out this past week. We cleared all the inner singletrack segments and Hudson Hula Wednesday and continue clearing on the ski trails. Overall riding conditions are very good. A few patches leaves have blown in but minor issue in the whole scheme of things. Rain shower Sunday night helped settle the dust and tack the track up. 

The mountain bike trails will be open until November 1st.

Please park in far parking lot by the recycling containers.

Trail Report

Calm and clear after a couple of windy days. Great to see the sunshine today. Touch of snow Tuesday morning. A welcomed .31″ of precipitation of rain on Sunday evening. This fall has been one of the driest autumn’s on record. We are back on the trails this week clearing leaves, sticks, branches and deadfall on both the ski and mountain bike trails as we complete the final fall grooming/clearing before winter. Having select trails as clean as possible allows us to open for skiing on minimal snow.

We will continue doing trail work this fall until deer hunting season with plans to operate for day skiing on the the ski, snowshoe and fat bike trails. Similar to the COVID season, there will be no services available. Parking in the far lot with portable bathrooms. 

Ski trail season passes can be purchased on our website. Purchasing season pass now helps with operating and maintenance costs to prepare the trails, equipment repairs to the grooming equipment and property taxes.

Mountain bike trails will be open until November 1st. Click here for trail report.

The mountain bike trails will be open until November 1st. We cleared the entire course last week. Some leaves blowing back in on a few spots but overall very good late season conditions. Touch up clearing on a few trails this week.

Surface conditions are hardpack and dry. A few leaves still to come down and might be some that blow in otherwise great late season riding.
