Grooming Report... 1/22/2026

Once again, it's almost a carbon copy of the same weather we've had for almost 2 weeks with temperatures last night dropping down into the high 20's and today looking cloudy with temps into the 30's. We can't complain too much, because it is helping up maintain a majority of our trails as it seems like someone just hit pause on the weather patterns in the PNW. We are still in low snow conditions, but overall trails are still holding up nicely around all of the trailheads and get thin, firm and some uneven areas as you get into the trees to link up to other parts of the system, so it is still definitely worth getting out there and skiing.

Grooming happened last night freshening up the skate lanes as the existing classic is still mostly holding up and setting new tracks could be challenging in these conditions. The SnoCat took a day off, but will be back to regularly scheduled programing for tomorrow, so it was all up to the Ginzu's making passes on the Meadow Loop, the Cut-Off's, Sprint Loop, the BCT all the way out to the northern terminus, hitting Stonewater Loop, Beaver Creek Loop, Swamp Creek Loop and Grizzly Mtn. on the way The main areas of concern are Hot Tub Hill, driveway crossings, the Walk-In Trailhead, the far entrance to the Sprint Loop and one small section on the ascent of Grizzly Mtn, which are narrow and have bare/icy spots. Almost all of the BCT (minus Hot Tub Hill and driveway crossings) still has coverage and can be skied in its entirety. We are still using the Stonewater detour to their walking bridge, so be sure to follow the signs.

CLOSED TRAILS now include all of the Mill Hill Complex (Mill Hill, Rowdy Coyote, Chainsaw Ridge, Cougar Run and Lumi Lane) due to trail wide bare spots, icy spots, melt outs and a mud slide. Signs are posted.

This afternoon 3-5:30pm at the Meadow Loop Parking Lot is our youth ski team practice, so plan accordingly and use one of our other trailheads if you are planing to ski during that time.

SAFETY NOTICE:  DO NOT SKI ON SLEIGH TRAILS at Mountain Springs Lodge.  Please obey the signs and only ski on groomed ski trails.

All wheel drive is recommended in all of the parking lots as they are all holding up pretty well, but there are icy spots, so please use caution when walking to the the trails.

You can still sign up for our Saturday Clinics 10am - 12pm are great for all ages and can be customized for skate or classic. It's a great way to learn better technique and the ability to enjoy our sport even more. Information and sign up can be found HERE.

TRAIL PASSES ARE ALL ONLINE and can be purchased HERE, and as always, kids ski free, but they also need an online PASS.
