Trail Report

A great day for the Section Preview Meet on Monday. Temps warmed up during the day but the snow held out great. Nice job to all the skiers competing on changing conditions throughout the day. Lots of smiles, hooting and hollering, good attitude=great skiing when there is snow on the ground!

Trails will be glazed/icy in the morning but softening as the day passes and good chance of snow in the afternoon. We plan to pack any new snow than reset most of the groomed track system Wednesday to Friday. With cooler temps later in the week and weekend combined with a solid base and any new snow, should have nice skiing well into the next week.

Trails are open for day use. All day and season passes for non overnight guests must be purchased online through the website. (click here)

Note: Please do not snowshoe or walk on ski or fat bike trails. Thank you! We have designated snowshoe trails for snowshoeing and walking. We take pride in having as “clean” as possible ski and fat bike trails.
