Grooming Report... 2/22/26

Today is our Washington Nordic Cup Race that is being hosted up at the Stevens Pass Nordic Center. Good luck to all of our Plain Valley Nordic Team racers! If you are not heading up to the pass to cheer them on, it's a good day to make it out to our trails and enjoy the snow that we still have. A light dusting of snow fell overnight with more expected this morning. Temperatures dropped down to the high 20's and are expected to jump up to the mid 30's as the day goes on with the chance for a little bit of snow. The trails all got the skate lanes freshened up with Ginzu's again as we wait for the better conditions to be able to set new classic, but most of the trails are holding up and there is plenty of good skiing and nice corduroy to be found especially north of the Grizzly Mtn. junction and south of the Swamp Creek Loop. Enjoy the skiing and thanks for the sticking with us during this challenging winter, we continue to do our snow dances.

OPEN TRAILS: Everything north of the creek crossing at Stonewater Loop, except the southern side of Grizzly Mtn.

CAUTION AREAS: Heading south on the BCT just past the Grizzly Mtn. junction down to Swamp Creek includes a narrow ribbon of snow through the trees, a 2 foot wide melt out that has 2 PVC pipes to help fill the gap that is getting wider and just after the road crossing are 2 bare driveways. Swamp Creek Loop is showing a few more bare spots on its southern areas and Grizzly Mtn is now a 2 way trail with a couple of narrow and exposed spots. There are also a few thin and icy spots in the trees to be aware of.

PARKING LOTS:  The OSPREY LODGE TRAILHEAD at the main entrance of Thousand Trails is our last remaining open parking for the trails and has limited parking.

THE WASHINGTON NORDIC CUP RACE that we are hosting today has been moved up to the STEVENS PASS NORDIC CENTER. We are very thankful for their partnership and allowing us to still make this race possible. Even though it is not going to physically be in Plain this year, we really hope that you can still come out and support our Plain Valley Nordic Team! More information can be found HERE.

TRAIL DAY PASSES ARE DISCOUNTED TO $15 and can be purchased HERE, and as always, kids ski free, but they also need an online PASS.
