Another hard freeze last night with temps dropping down to the lower 20’s. Still hanging on to some of the snow from the storm earlier this week that dropped around 4″ of snow. A early morning moonlight ski Friday morning found good coverage on Suicide Hill and fast conditions leading to a beautiful sunrise.   The coverage on the ski trails is spotty and most of the snow should slowly melt off today and tomorrow. A lot of branches and twigs coming down from the high winds during the storm we have started clearing off otherwise the trails are in great shape and ready for the real snow to fly (which we hope for after a hard freeze to set up the ground and sloughs, typically the end of November).

The trails will be open at no charge until deer hunting season which is the first part of November. The mountain bike trails are wet and sloppy right now but if they dry out proper, will be open for riding, including the new singletrack at Twin lakes.
