Ski Trail Report

Trails are now closed. After temperatures above freezing the past three days that kept the trails soft and wet, cooling down fast today to the 20’s. The surface is icy and rough. The base has deteriorated making for unsafe conditions for us to have trails open for safe day use. If we receive significant new snow the next week, we will groom select trails and open again. With the base we have, if we pick up an inch or two combined with cold temps, skiing will be possible. Thanks to the skiers this week that braved the challenging conditions with a positive Just Ski attitude!
