Grooming Report... 3/1/2026

Unfortunately, we've had to make the difficult decision to say that today is going to be the last day of grooming for the trails. It's going to be another sunny day with temperatures reaching 50 degrees and the heat has sped up the melting and there are now numerous trail wide melt outs that are making it very difficult to have a continuous trail to ski. Ginzu's were out on the skate lanes last night with mixed results of smooth and chunky trails and it got down to just below freezing last night, so trails will be firm and icy this morning. The best and most continuous skiing will be the southern trails across the road once you get out of the trees by the Beaver Creek Loop, but it will be a mix of skiing and walking to get there. Thank you for all of your support this season and sticking with us during this challenging winter. We hope this will be a distant memory and next winter brings us the big snow year that we've been hoping for.

OPEN TRAILS: Everything north of the creek crossing at Stonewater Loop, except Grizzly Mtn., but be prepared to walk a few longer bare areas before and after the road crossing.

CAUTION AREAS: There are many thin and exposed areas on the trails including near the trailhead and BCT trails intersect and out towards the northern terminus and areas in the trees are icy. If you are going to go across the road, we recommend walking down Fish Pond Lane and hop back on the trail at the 2nd driveway crossing as we are losing coverage in between. Swamp Creek Loop, Beaver Creek Loop and the BCT down to the bridge are all getting thinner and showing more bare spots. Grizzly Mtn. has trail wide melt outs.

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

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.
