Proper temps this AM. Nicely down into the lower twenties. The skies are supposed to clear through out the day and it will be a beautiful day for skiing. The snow did not ice out with the temp drop The snow did how ever dry out nicely and trails currently consist of a well packed powder surface. Skiing is really nice but fast so take it easy on the down hill sections. Trails are in excellent condition right now. The outer loop is groomed but sketchy and not recommended. Other than that the skiing has been really nice the last few days. This weekend looks to be the nicest weekend of the season so far. Come enjoy.

Trails are in great shape and the trails are once again being buffed out as needed. Skiing is really nice on all the core trails. The outer loop, trails #6,#9 and # 10 have multiple hazards and is for experts only. Stop in to ask for details. Other than that the skiing has been excellent this week. It looks to be that way for the foreseeable future. We are enjoying an excellent stretch of weather and nice skiing combination. Come up and get your glide on.

Happy February,
We are starting off one of my favorite months with a trail system in excellent winter condition.
The beautiful snow we received at the beginning of the week combined with perfect temperature snow has made the skiing quite nice this week. It looks to be like that right through the weekend. The best weekend for skiing up here so far this season is set to pop off in just a few days. EXCELLENT product out there right now.
All trails have been groomed up in the last few days. I will be out this morning refreshing some core trails as needed. While the just about the whole trails system is open and skiing great overall , the outer loop, Trails #6,#9 and # 10 is sketchy is spots. Most of the down hill sections, skiing in either direction has at least one melt out. I recommend walking down all the down hill sections. Also skiing on a BC or OT boot and a ski 80MM wide or wider and with a full metal edge. The trail is only open for experts and experienced backcountry skiers. That route should be considered and treated as backcountry ski right now. Check in for details and also if you decide to go, bring a buddy, a fully charged cell phone and let us know you are going.
See up all up here.
