Well, it’s about time. We’ve been lacking in posting much about our trails and season, but there’s a REALLY good reason for that. For one, it was a LOT of work this year t get things going with far fewer volunteers than years past, then we had that disaster of a wind storm that destroyed the trails in various areas and caused lots of damage to things. We’re still reeling from that and are short in grooming staff, etc. It’s a tight situation. But… we do have enough snow to ski and groom, and things were saved around New Year, so we’re skiing, and that’s a good thing. We celebrated with our memorial “Chuck Calef Classic” club race & tour. What a wonderful day and celebration of our friend and hero, Chuck.
As it stands now, we’re in a bit of a heatwave and dry spell, so conditions are tough to keep in perfect shape. We don’t have a lot of active groomers, but are making do with what we have. Keep an open mind and use your “not best skis” skis 😉
Would love any info about this area for Cross Country and snowshoeing as we will be there on Feb. 1st. Where is the best access to the trails and how are the conditions? Are the trails open at all times?
Hopefully, we’ll have good snow. This is not the best year, but we do currently have good conditions on a pretty thin base. Check the map links at the top for info on how to find this trail system, and the trails are open all the time. It’s a volunteer-run/maintained area, so it may not be totally “freshly” groomed, but we do keep it in good shape as best we can.
