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.

Much of the system still closed due to downed trees from the recent snowfall. What was open was beautiful.

Conditions: Packed snow depth varies from 3-7 inches depending on tree cover. About 17" has fallen in the past 2 weeks. Track has been set on limited trails where possible. See map of current trail status.
More snow for the New Year! Packed snow depth varies from 3-7 inches depending on tree cover. Packing is going slow due to heavy snow bending trees and brush over the trails. We had 60% of the trails cleared and packed last Wednesday but additional heavy snow that evening set us way back again.

Merry Christmas and Hoppy Hilidays! Packed snow depth varies from 3-6 inches depending on tree cover. A few bigger rock poking out here and there. Packing is going slow due to heavy snow bending trees and brush over the trails. About 60% of trails are cleared and packed as of Wednesday. More snow Wednesday night may have pushed some more brush low on trails. No track set yet. Expect to set open trails on Monday.
