2022-2023 SEASON GROOMING UPDATES:

2022-2023 Grooming Calendar

3/29/23: Today Frater Lake loops and the short Leo loop to the South were reconditioned. Heavy ice accumulation made it  impossible to set ski tracks. The snow condition is poor. The ice was broken up and leveled out.

3/24/23: Today Frater Lake loops and the short Leo loop to the South were packed and ski tracks were set. A few inches of new, wet snow was packed.

3/17/23: Frater Lake loops and Leo loops to the South were reconditioned and ski tracks were set. Due to warm temperatures and ice formation the deck is slightly chunky. The sun is shining and the deck was still soft enough to provide some great spring like skiing conditions.

3/7/23: Today all Northern Frater Lake loops and Leo loops to the South were packed and ski tracks were set. The sun is shining, and the temperature is great for skiing.

3/4/23: Frater Lake short and long loop were packed. Warming conditions made for a sticky base.

2022-2023 SEASON GROOMING UPDATES:

3/10/23: Groomed and track set, but that will get blanketed by 3-4” today. We have been picking up a few inches every other day.  Just enough to help refresh, but not enough to keep up with the dwindling snowpack.  There are dirt patches starting to show around the surrounding trees but no patches showing on the deck, and the further out you go the better it gets!  Warmer temperatures are expected next week that will certainly affect the rest of the season. Saturday and Sunday may offer a little sun with some fresh snow on the deck, would make a great last hoorah!  

3/1/23: All trails have been groomed and are looking great!  The trails should set up tonight and be ready for use.  At this time, recommending Nordic Skiers and Snowshoers only, until we gat back into a freeze/thaw cycle.

2/9/23:Groomed, the Nordic skiing quality is dwindling. However, the fat biking and snowshoeing  has been  really, really good the last 10 days or so and should continue with the freeze thaw cycle.  Without more snow to help reset the Nordic tracks, it will be challenging for the skier clientele.

2/6/23: Groomed and track set: Whitetail, Ponderosa, Little Sweat, Chipmunk and Rough Ridge. On 2/03/23.  Conditions have warmed up and the snowpack is FRAGILE and will be for the next several days. Trail use should be limited to early in the day or late in the evening until temperatures cool back down later this week. Recommending only Nordic skis at this time, until we can get back into a freeze / thaw cycle.
