Groomer’s Report - Tuesday 11/29/22
Good morning skiers! The trails and snow coverage keep getting better every day, with 15" of new in the forecast over the next 36 hours. It looks like our winter season is here to stay, so we have switched to our full in-season grooming and plowing crew. Groomed this morning for skate are all trails except the Mill Hill Complex, Grizzly Mountain, and Ditch Loop. Classic tracks were left from yesterday, and we know have the entire system with coverage and at least roller pack

Lot's of new snow today! Skate and classic set from Plain to far end of Swamp Creek, including through the Mt. Springs area (still thin!!!).

Groomer’s Report - Sunday 11/27/22
Good morning skiers! Meadow Loop Trails, Sprint Loop, and the BCT from Stonewater to Swamp Creek are freshly groomed this morning for skate. Classic was left from yesterday. It is currently 32 degrees (and dropping) with light snow falling. No measuarable new snow. Yesterday's high was 43 and we did get 8/10ths of an inch of rain overnight. This should help to really set the base as we move into a cold and snowy week! Snowshoe trails are closed at this time. Trail passes

Groomer’s Update - Saturday 11/19/22
Today we have opened the northern trails! This is the Clear Creek Lodge Trailhead at Thousand Trails, with trails headed south to Stonewater Ranch. Groomed for skate and classic. Skating has the best trail conditions. Classic is more of a mixed bag. We have placed a porta-potty at the Meadow Loop Trailhead in Plain, and later today we will have one placed at the Beaver Creek Trailhead, mid-way on our trail system. There is no port-potty at Clear Creek Trailhead until sometim

Good morning skiers! It was a chilly 9 degrees while grooming this morning! It's warmed to 18 at 9:30 am. The overnight low was 9 and yesterday's high was 36. No new snow. The snow on the trails is holding up really well as nothing is thawing during the day. I have groomed the Meadow Loops and Spring Loop for skate, and left classic alone. Skating is good and classic has some marginal sections, but with a lot of skiable track. Fun and fast skating. Trails are also groo

Good morning skiers! Today we have groomed for skate on the Meadow Loops and Sprint Loop. It's looking good for skate, classic is a mixed bag.

It is currently 26 degrees at 8 am, with a low of 24 overnight and a high of 27 yesterday. No new snow. Trail passes are required and can be purchased online or at Plain Hardware. Snowshoe trails are closed due to low snow. Ha

Groomer’s Report - Wednesday 11/16/22
Good morning skiers! The trails are looking good for skate today. Classic has a mix of good sections and rough sections, as classic requires a bit more snow depth. Skating is well worth it and holding very well. The Meadow Loop trails and Sprint Loop are freshly groomed for skate, and classic track is left from yesterday. Swamp Creek, Shotgun Meadow, and Stonewater trail have been left from yesterday. Watch for the driveway crossing that has gravel exposed. Skate is bes
