Nordic Trail Closure

Trails will continue to remain closed for the foreseeable future due to diminished conditions caused by warm weather and recent heavy rainfall . Runoff from rains and rapid snow melt have left the track profile soaked with unfrozen water and ponding is frequent throughout the course. Unfortunately, grooming equipment can no longer operate properly due to the wetness of the track profile and receding snow depths.

Temperatures are forecasted to remain significantly above average through all next week with additional rainfall. All grooming operations are to be halted until more snow and colder temperatures return of which can thoroughly refreeze ponding & stabilize the snowpack. At this time, I expect trails to remain closed through at least all next week.

In the short term, we will attempt to groom the driving range loop with the ginzu via snowmobile when conditions allow and will be available for use. The Sled Hill can also be utilized but will not be groomed, and conditions are to be as is. Note, that both these areas will be very icy during the mornings and soft in the afternoons with potential ponding and bare areas. All other trails throughout the course are closed to skiers.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we attempt to work through this abnormal winter season. We will continue to monitor the track daily, and provide additional updates if conditions improve, otherwise expect our next update to be sent next Friday, March 6^th.
