Tuesday March 24: We have ceased grooming operations and all trails and the Nordic Center are now closed for the season.  Thank you to everyone who used the trail system this past winter. We look forward to skiing with you next November.  Have a great summer!

To our devoted Nordic Guests: we have made the difficult decision to close the Eldora Nordic Center for the season, effective today, March 22. While the storm on March 6 gave us a nice boost, subsequent high temperatures have rapi...

Good morning, Well it's a good thing we did the blue ridge summit party yesterday and thank you to everyone who made the trip up to the top. With the lowest recorded snowfall for a season in probably 50-80 years based on most reports in addition to one of the war...

Nordic Trails Closed due to recent and rapid melt. 

Thursday, March 19: Sadly, grooming for the season has ended. The grooming crew was hoping it would be possible to eke out one or two more days but unfortunately, the grooming cat needs a new hydraulic hose and the base will be gone in too many areas for groom...

We are sorry to say we can no longer maintain our trail system for skiing. Groomers reported conditions on ruthie's run ungroomable last night. We all made it the best worst season ever! Thanks for everything.

Howelsen Hill Nordic Report 3/15/26 Good morning Nordic skiers, Today will sadly be the final day of grooming for the season, as the sun has really taken a toll on our trail system. The crew came in this morning to some nice cold temps and ...

The track has been fully groomed and is hanging in there for now. Numerous icy patches will be present until the sun works its radiative magic, enjoy the skiing while you can!

We're closed for the season! Thanks so much to all who supported us as we gave our best efforts through a record snow year. Have a wonderful summer and we'll see you in December.

Early morning snowcat grooming completed on Priest Nordic trails where possible for skate and classic. Spring melt down conditions vary from poor to very good. Beware of thin and dirt sections as hazards exist.

A quick run was done last night 3/6 from the animal shelter to Dutch Henry. Please note that even though it snowed last night the base layer on the MBT is still very thin. Be prepared for a mix of snow and pavement.

FS road groomed to the base of East Fork. The road is completely melted out just past East Creek. That's the end of the very short season at Vallecito !

One more groom done on all of Coyote this morning. It's holding up right now, but these next couple warm days will do it in quickley. A few bare spots to watch for but overall still very skiable.

Lightly refreshed Skate Lane.  Thinning snowpack prevents re-setting classic track. Get out out there soon before it melts this week!

CAUTION: trail breakdown and bridge removal has begun on the Valley Floor.

Good morning! We are now 100% open for CLASSIC skiing! Unfortunately we still do not have enough snow for skate skiing. Our Dog trail is open but no doggies today. Dogs will be allowed starting tomorrow. 🦮🐾🦴🐶NO DOGS ON TUESDAYS AND SATURDAYS.

Lower ½ of trail is groomed for classic and should be acceptable. Upper ½ has quite a few marginal areas and limited classic was set. 

Good Morning! Fresh machine groom on Fish Creek and shady side of Kajsa's and Wrens Way. Enjoy your Sunday!

Despite getting the least snowfall in a season since 1982, we groomed 6 times at North Boulder Park for 8+ skiable days, depending how much grass you tolerate. Thank you to all our groomer volunteers for their dedication! Let's hope mother nature brings us better conditions ne...
