Conditions: Excellent, plenty of base left from the big snow and about an inch of freshies fell Saturday night.
The snow still has loft on the trail and makes for a forgiving surface and waxing easy. Much better than the snow (natural and man made) down round the TC. Every loop is a treat but the Flathorn loop was particularly gorgeous and rewarding with plenty of wildlife and exploding marshmallow fluff trees.

Conditions: Excellent trails. Packed snow, well tracked. Lots of snow and more to come this week. Plenty of options for short or long runs.
If you haven't made it up to National Forest Lodge, it is a must this season. The skiing is exceptional, many options for ability. Accommodations and hospitality at the lodge are fantastic. No other experience like it out there.

Perfect weekend at National Forest Lodge. Temperatures in the 20's. All trails are now open and tracked. Terrain is varied rolling hills and flat areas. Can ski many different areas of the trail system in a weekend.

Conditions: Great skiing. All trails are finally clear of snow weighted brush. Not much additional snow fell this week, but 80% of the trails were tracked Friday. 10-20" in the woods and a solid base.
Wonderful mild weekend with full moon skiing. Snow continues to cling to the pines creating a winter fantasy land. Thanks to groomer, neighbors and USFS for pitching in. Photos from Jan 17th.
