Well the false spring last week has wreaked havoc on our trail. Even with this new snow there are sections that are down to dirt. The upper part is the only place that MIGHT be skateable but it’s icy and cratered under the corduroy. Be cautious if you come out….

21° with 3" of new snow and still coming down. We’ll get out there and make something out off this stuff but there will be thin spots. I’ll update around daylight…

Following many days, well above freezing, we inspected the trails yesterday afternoon and found what we expected. There are bare dirt patches in the first 200 meters and we suspect the same conditions at several points on the system. Unless we get cold temps and a foot of new snow out of this approaching weather system, our season is probably over. We’ll make a final decision in the next few days.

it’s 44°F this morning. It is too warm for grooming today, and in the interest of saving what little snow we have it has been decided to post pone grooming until either we get cooler temperatures and or snow.

38° here this morning. Alpine loop and spur trail skate lanes were groomed but with mixed results due to warm overnight temps. I decided not to go out on powerline so it hasn’t had grooming yesterday or today. Expect soft conditions.

31 in the valley but 36 up here. Closer to the sun I guess. No grooming yesterday, but we’re here this morning to get things whipped into shape. I’ll update around daylight…

Sorry, no grooming today! All 4 of our groomers had prior commitments. Temps stayed above freezing last night, so conditions should be soft and Spring like. Grooming will resume tomorrow if temperatures fall over night. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
