Thursday January 15: Yesterday we refreshed the groom on Aspen Golf Loop 10 and Teaching Loop 00. Today we will work on filling the underpasses on the High School Loop 30 in preparation for Sunday's 3/5/15K classic race which replaces the cancelled Owl Creek Chase Event. Temps...

Working on it. Things should set up good for Friday. 2-3 PSI MAX. More trail to open up later today.

The trails are in good shape for skate and classic skiing and are holding up well through this dry spell.

We are working hard to keep the trails open. 

Trails Crew will continue working on remaining trails that have an ice layer and snow/ice clumps. Expect icy conditions and clumps outside of groomed trails, along with some drifting on trails groomed yesterday. 

All singletrack trails machine packed. Can't pull a groomer because of the snow over ice. Try again tomorrow. 

All the Forestville trails plus Rambling Man and Wildcat got 2 passes with snowmobile and one with the Snowdog today. Should be in great shape until the next snowfall.

Greetings Nordic skiers! Day three of the season is here, and we woke up to a light dusting of fresh snow! Our groomer has completed grooming this mornig in order to get everything prepared for you. We're seeing 37°F at the top if Windy Acres...

Good morning, we are headed out for a day of shoveling to maintain coverage and improve coverage on some sections of trail for some racing this weekend and upcoming events. We will be out near the Nordic barn on homestead and Cranmer if you want to say hi on your way to...

Track is groomed; it's a beautiful day for Nordic skiing!

Hidden Grin and Meditation are groomed and tracked! Also, parking lots for Thomas Rock and The Powell Township Recreation Area parking lots are being maintained for snowshoeing and back country skiing!

The shady rest trails have been Groomed as of today. But we are experiencing some electrical issues with our grooming device so we will not be grooming shady rest for roughly 2 days while it gets repairs. Thank you for your understanding.

The skate skiing is awesome! I just set my strava lap record this morning! Don't believe anyone who says the skiing isn't good! The glide wax of the day(week) is  Swix Violet. The classic track is in but not as good as the skate track. 

Groomed for skate and classic. The classic track is a bit variable this am due to firm/frozen conditions. Enjoy the glide and ride. 

Cold temperatures overnight certainly firmed things up, but also helped preserve the trails that we have available to groom. Same pattern as yesterday.  Starting at Swampy might be the best call for accessing Paintbrush and Bitterbrush.

The snowcat zoomed around the Lighted trails plus down Dark Alley, and around the Green and Blue loops. The Stadium has been reset with fresh classic track. Get out and Enjoy the trails!

Trail Status: All trails open. Current Condition: We received 1–3 inches of fresh snow overnight. Groomers were out this morning refreshing the skate lanes and resetting classic tracks. Cooler temperatures are helping everything f...

Well folks, this morning is the kind of day that makes me really love my job. The sun is shining, the snow is grooming in absolutely beautifully, and I think I might go for a ski today! All ski trails have been freshly groomed and tracked in the Husky, and the Multi-use-trails...

Today looks like another day of firm, fast conditions on the valley floor with warmer overnight temps in the Rendezvous thanks to an inversion. If you want to break out of the fog, climb up from Cub Creek or Gunn Ranch trailhead into the sunshine! The best skiing will be on ar...

Tilled Red, Green and the Bowl Connected for the Nordic Combined skiers to train on for the Tournament.  We will groom the  remaining trails this evening. 

1/15 - 28 degrees and light fog this morning at the Whitefish Golf Course. North and South course are groomed. Trails are firm, icy in some places, South course is quite thin and has many bare spots. No classic track was laid due to firm conditions but old track remains on som...

  Looking like a beautiful/snowy morning here at Mt. Van Hoevenberg. We picked up around 2 inches of new snow accumulation overnight with flakes continuing to fall throughout the morning into early afternoon. We are hopeful that totals will continue to climb during the da...

No grooming this morning due to the temps. If conditions allow, the teaching courtyard will be cleaned up mid-morning. Check our Nordic Pulse for the most-up-to-date trail stats. 

The harriman has been groomed from snra to galena lodge for classic and skate including north fork, durance, prarie creek, Billy's bridge, cabin loop and Titus. Hard packed conditions. Go enjoy

Trails are groomed for today’s skate and classic skiing. The Trout Lake Nordic trail  snowpack remains thin, so groomers are shoveling to capitalize on the side snow before it becomes hard packed.  Continual snow farming and

Good morning, temps are 31 degrees with overcast and fog. Trails groomed decently and there was some fill work done on lower grizzly. Another warm day to play! 

Grooming conditions were slightly inconsistent today. Bare spots on Redail are becoming larger. The highway, Sappers and Mores are all looking great still.

Everything groomed for classic and skate around the lodge except cherry ridge, nello's and Ted's. Enjoy 

Trails were groomed by snowmobile and drag this morning.

Skate deck reset with Snowmobile, Happy New Year!

Pisten bullied all trails from the ponds to 17k.  Some light snow on top of some of the things I did earlier this morning.  

I skied on Wednesday from 1-3 cleaning cones and debris. The snow bombs that produce this mess are just about finished. Anything dark colored on the snow will absorb daytime sun and melt into the trail surface. Since we have no snow in the forecast for at least a week re...

We are minimizing grooming this morning, and there was no "overnight" grooming, due to mixed precipitation starting Wednesday evening. This morning (Thur) it's changing over towards "snow" and expected to stop soon.  Surfaces will be very skiable today. On the natural sno...

Happy Thursday! Trail coverage is thinning and conditions are firm/icy today. Garnier, Tamarack, and Cottonwood Loops are still the better choices in terms of overall coverage and trail conditions.

UPDATE 8:39AM: Posting an update to say it's definitely mostly snow up here with 3"+ at the Cabin and a good inch of real snow down low. Trail Crew downplayed it this morning saying a mix of rain and snow, but it's 99% good snow.

It looks to be a calm and sunny week. Trails will continue to be groomed as needed using the snowmobile until we receive more snowfall. Reminder early season conditions persist with inconsistent coverage. Please note that, GCM will be performing snow removal on select areas th...

Groomed the rail trail Thursday morning with the snowmobile.  Where we have decent snow coverage the trail is holding up pretty good, but where it's thin the sun is starting to burn off the  little snow that's there.  Still skiable though and great for walking.<...

Good Morning! The preferred route to reach the skiing will be to walk on the North side of the Nordic Center (former route in past seasons), and across the old berm on the now defunct biathlon shooting range. There you will be able to safely put your skis on near Kiddy K and a...

Thursday, January 15th 7:30am   Good morning from XC central! While this latest round of high pressure has taken hold of our weather, we're enjoying that "Spring-skiing" feel but with trail conditions that hold we...

The cold temperatures at night are helping retain the snow. The trails are firm in the morning and softer in the afternoon.

Jan 15th, temp 28, no new snow. Foggy in town but clear on the mountain. Groomed to haskle this morning till the trail was getting too thin. Dirt showing at the lower end of the trail. Upper trails are groomed, some dirt spots on upper badger. The rest is in pretty good shape....

Groomed for classic and skating. Classic tracks are shallow in some areas, but as we continue to soften the surface, conditions will improve. The final section of the snowmaking loop is now open. Please note that this section is recommended for advanced-level skiers only, as i...

Good morning, At 5 am the temp is 38 at the trailhead with no new snow.   I plan to groom the alpine route again today depending on snow conditions.  

60km+ groomed this morning. If you are looking for a fun downhill, Overload went in last night and has only been groomed once, so it will be nice and soft! Another Sunny and 50 degree day, we can't decide if it's January or April. Japril it is!

There’s a fine line between slush and sheer ice. We’re just on the right side of it this morning. The good news is that we were not flooded with rain, our machine-made snow is enjoyable, and we’ve maintained decent natural snow coverage in the woods; the cond...

Well, the roller coaster of our winter continues with a cold rain this morning.  The rain has for the moment, wiped out skiing on Mt Tom and has us back to our machine made loop on the flats.  The cat was out this am for a quick groom on that loop. Cold weather looks...

Update for Thurs Jan 15 Lots of trails open for your skiing enjoyment including The Downhill Interconnect  - Your opportunity to ski over to the new Downhill Lodge to check it out & get a free ride up on Eagle Rock chairli...

It is another beautiful morning with an overnight low of 28F and bluebird. SnowCat Billy and Greta the Grindr were out packing and tracking and making it nice for you

Two passes with track on most trails. Finally getting enough snow to tame some of this frost heaving . Will be interesting to see what this warm weather brings.

Welllllll that was interesting. The night started off grooming ok, it was 31 degrees and then out of nowhere and inversion set in and temps climbed to 38 degrees and started grooming poorly. It'll come as no that we the snow levels are super thin right now. So going forward we...

Groomed all the trails with classic tracks.  Had another 5" of new snow.  Still some overflow and some is spreading farther down the trails.  But skiers are finding a way around 

There will be a brief closure of the BCT this afternoon at Mountain Springs Lodge from 3:20pm - 4:20pm due to a wedding ceremony. Signs will be posted closing the trail and suggesting the Rowdy...

Trails off of Sun Valley are not necessarily groomed. But have been packed down and smoothed some. Ruts and rocks are still a problem.
