We will be fully closed Tuesday, February 17th due to the winter storm. We are expecting another 4 feet of snow with extremely diffucult travel and heavy accumulations during the overnight and operating hours. We expect to reopen Wednesday morning with limited terrain as we process this deep snow.
We REALLY don't like to close. But there is a silver lining - we needed snow very badly. Our trails were thin, dirt was showing, and many trails were closed due to low snow. After this storm we will be back to full strength and winter continues on!
The Van Norden trailhead will be closed until we are able to reassess conditions after this storm. The meadow is extremely wet, and we are unable to open without a detailed conditions inspection.
Busy weekend Ahead!
On Friday, we have our season finale of Friday Night Lights From 6-8pm. This weekend is the long awaited "Fastest KM!" The trail will be our newly opened "Klister Master" and will include the "The Plunge". This storm will provide the exact conditions to make this race super fun and safe. The pub will be open for drinks and food - all ages welcome.
Van Norden Update: The Van Norden trailhead will be closed during this storm cycle. We will provide notice when the trailhead opens again, likely for the upcoming weekend.
While we can no longer groom in the meadow due to running water, we were able to groom Bill Patterson West, which bisects the meadow near the trailhead. We have opened TELEGRAPH ONLY on the South side of the meadow for dog use. This will allow skiers with dogs to ski across the meadow, down Telegraph, and access the open dog trails on the East of the Meadow. Summit Crossing, Lincoln Highway, Sheep Pen, etc. We are not grooming a small section of Sheep Pen from the hut to the bridge due to running water. But skiers can easily cross. Please enjoy the available dog trails, we are working very hard to keep them open!
