Overcast and mid 20’s to report this morning. Looks like a high right around freezing today. The trails are covered with a scattering of ice/crust base and ready for more snow. We are not officially open for skiing. We do have a small loop we have farmed snow to that is open for any diehard skiers and has seeing a little bit of action from ski camp skiers. With frost set deep, the ice base coverage where present, it won’t take much snow to open for skiing. Forecast does not look the best but things can change quickly!
We are hosting our first ski camps this week and teams have been adventuring on the trails making the most of the conditions.
The lake loop has melted out and skiing no longer an option for skiing but there are good sections for ice skating. Trails are open for hiking’ walking and trail running on the edges.
Bike trails are now open for fat biking/winter riding, weather permitting. Riding allowed on the Twin Lakes and Bullhead Bootleg loops. The inner trails are closed until the base is set up for skiing. Please note the signage and tap for the “dirt” season is removed but the main singletrack sections are signed.
Season passes can be purchased on the products page.
It’s been a fantastic fall working on the trails. We have been working on the outer trails most recently, finishing Island Lake trail, Roy’s Run and Bullhead Bootleg extension. After not being able to clear the Bullhead Bootleg extension in recent years, we are are excited to groom it again this year. We mow and blow leaves off the trail repeatedly so we can have skiing on minimal snow.
A wintery start to November with 3″ of snow one week ago. Snow falling on top of frozen ground and was enough reason for an early season groom! We enjoyed a couple days of early season skiing and good to see a few other people out! Snow on November 9th with 1″ falling. After melting out, snow returned one month later on December 9th with a few inches falling and bringing out season total of snowfall at 6″.
