Trail Report

Great late season conditions after 3″ of new snow early Wednesday. Singletrack trails groomed today except Island Lake. All the double track groomed Wednesday and Skaters Waltz packed and combed Wednesday. With warmer temps expected today and Friday, skiing could get a bit sticky and slower with the new snow. Best skiing for faster and drier snow will be in mornings, slower and stickier snow in the afternoons. Weekend looking good for consistent snow and skiing all day. We will groom the double track trails again Friday morning.

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

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.

Select singletrack loops groomed for fat biking totaling 25km. Report on the Fat Bike trail report.
