Temperatures range from mid teens to mid 20s depending on where you are on the trail system. Trails are coming out great although the tracks may be a little thin in spots. A soft layer of corduroy on top of a firm surface should make for some great conditions once again.

Beautiful day, excellent conditions and the grooming came out nice!

Groomed around galena for classic and skate but left off horse creek and north cherry. Double passed Cherry ridge. Left Emma alone again. I can see light at the end of the tunnel...in the form of a significant storm front!

The Wood River trail from East Fork to Gannett road is groomed for classic and skate. Come out and enjoy the nice trail!

2-4" in most areas. Part of Glide Path is still beat up from a logging project, but conditions are solid.

Good morning  Big Sky. Upper trails were groomed out last night and so were the two loops in the golf course. Everything is really looking good out there. Have a wonderful day skiing. 

It a stunning morning up here on the mountain, trails are soft and sun is shining. I saw a bunch of elk tracks on Badger loop, might be a good photo opportunity.

6 cm of fresh snow overnight! Skate lanes re-packed and groomed but still soft snow conditions. Classic track sets are not reset, but are skied in and in fair condition. 

We find ourselves at the end of an incredible month of skiing in the Methow. Today should be another stunning day out on the trails with plenty to choose from across the system. We do finally have a little snow in the forecast for this evening through the weekend, so do your s...

S Billy's, prairie, north fork, and durance loops groomed. Prairie and north Harriman double passed the classic lane to get the classic track out of the cut bank. Hope it helps.

Plenty of snow fell over the last few days. East side will get a fresh groom today. We don’t expect that the warm up later today will have much of an effect on our coverage. Open 9 to 5.

Good morning, Cooler temps continue for now so classic tracks continue to hold up well and we are not really seeing any glazing so no need to reset for now. Many other trails remain in great shape but we are out this morning to touch up some skate surface in high...

All trails are rolled and looking good other than a few thin spots on the pond loops and some spots of cart path on the golf course.  Skating rink Open Sledding hill open

Calm, 15* and overcast this morning. Everything groomed out nicely! Continue to keep an eye out for people working to get the trails ready for this Sundays event. Happy skiing!

Quick skate lane cleanup in the Piston Bulley this morning! 

I know we are all looking forward to new snow let's hope it's a lot! Having a little trouble with our machine so I wasn't able to get to the grizzly Loop or Bernese Meadow. However I was able to get to a good portion of our trails, I groomed out side the loop on the lake with ...

With 4" of new snow yesterday, trails are filling in and surfaces will be a nice packed powder today! Groomed trails are tracked, with the exception of Larry Hall as we are trying to smooth it out a bit. Layer up today and come and get it!

Good morning skiers!  18 degrees, clear, trying to snow right now!  Fresh track on the north and south loops today. Still thin coverage, but hopefully some more snow in the forecast!!!!

It keeps snowing here at Rikert and we are officially in midwinter conditions.  If you want to experience the sensation of floating through 2 inches of fresh powder over a groomed surface get up here this morning. Battell, Practice Loops, Upson's Figure 8 and all o...

New dry snow over the past two days & nights.  Approx. 3" total accumulation but it feels like more. There has been signficant drifting, but the grooming will be evident today in way that it was not yesterday.  43 K groomed since yesterday.

Wednesday evening’s groom concludes with good results and cool temperatures yet again.  Thursdays trails should be firm and because it’s the last day without weather forecasted you better get out here and enjoy the clear sky’s. Have fu...

70km groomed this morning. This looks to be the last storm-free day until next weekend! Wet heavy snow this weekend, powdery snow next week, and a lot of it! 

Grooming is complete for tonight. I did the old highway, lower connector, overlook, Lakeview, the bowl, arts Meadows, and the lower Tyrolean trails. Things just keep getting better out there.   Should be great again tomorrow morning.

Refreshed skate lane Wednesday evening. I didn't think I could improve the classic track so I left it alone. Skating should be very fast and smooth!

Reset skate lane. Classic track is in good shape so left it alone.

There is about an inch of new snow on top of frozen snow and ice. Many areas of glare ice so be careful.  Ginzu and dragged Big Dipper, Austrian Ave, 1k and Upper 5k. West section of Big Dipper Loop was very icy and should be avoided. Austrian Ave comin...

All trails are groomed for skating and many trails with classic tracks. Expect very good skiing through the weekend. The Nordic Pulse mapping program has glitches that shows sections of some trails not groomed- BCRD is working on it. Know that if we've been out most trails are...

Groomed skate lanes. Classic tracks are in good shape. A lovely morning! Get out and enjoy the sunshine!

Groomed out linguine almost to secret trail before ice and water turned me around . Icy base with slushy spots 

Wednesday: A week of cold and dry weather has created very solid track. That said,  unable to improve classic track this morning,  remains in good shape for the most part.  Skate was reset and is quite nice.  Plan to have Rabbit in canyon Friday morn...

Cache Creek Grooming today! 

The groomers took the night off due to todays warm temperatures. Get a ski in early today for the best conditions! Conditions were very nice for skating yesterday with firm and fast skate decks. The classic tracks have some wind blown debris in them, but are in decent shape. D...

Ginzu groomed the skate surface of the 5k and 10k. Should be fast fun skiing on Wednesday! Started preparation on surfaces for the Saturday (Feb 1) Biathlon. 

Took the ginzu and cleaned up the skate lane to the bridge then over to Mosier divide. Kept the classic tracks because they are in great shape. 

Core trails are freshly groomer for classic and skate on nice cold snow.  Upper trails have not been refreshed, they need a bit more snow before we can get back out on them.  Snowmaking in progress in the stadium area. 

The skate lane was reset last night with the ginzu and the classic tracks are deep and hard. It was another chilly night with negative double digit temps but once the sun hits the snow and warms things up your skis will travel fast and lively across the trails! 

Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain turn around. Groomed today- sorry for the late post!! 

Sibley is widened and has classic tracks from the parking lot through the warming hut and all the way across dead horse. I pushed the trails wider where I dared so enjoy the much wider routes! Lake crossing is smoothing out nicely and is starting to get widened every pass we t...

Got 4-5" of new snow and tried to mix it with the ice and in most places it is great.  There are still places that will be icy as they were liquid when grooming.  Classic tracks are everywhere. FYI, Besh Cup ski races on Saturday and Sunday, February 1st and 2...

All trails except the Green Bean have been groomed Monday, January 27. Great skiing out there and more snow predicted for this afternoon!

Excellent snow conditions.

Thursday Centennial Pathway groom: resetting classic track was a futile effort so is only in between Mike Harris and Stateline. Skate lane is fresh and berm in the middle is gone between Moose Creek and Trail Creek. Enjoy it before it's gone this weekend! ❄️ 

We’ve been having perfect winter days lately with great cross country ski and fat bike trail conditions!

Reset walking path. Spent time leveling skate track with a few passes on the Ginzu. Left classic track alone for now. Will try and reset the classic track on Wednesday. *We are working with the City of Victor on the lights! Sorry they're not working again, we ...

All trails groomed today! there was about 2cm fresh snow. Sun was out! -5 C at 8 am but warmed up to zero as the day progressed. Caution on Ravens loop as it is marginal in spots. Enjoy the outdoors! Perfect weather for a snowshoe outing.

Cold, firm snow. Attempting classic track to Baker's Hole and Riverside.

All trails are freshly groomed for skate and classic. Great skiing through the weekend. Please do not walk on the ski trails and watch out for the quad groomer parked along the beginning of Camas, awaiting mechanical repairs.

The red is fully redone and track set 

Got the north and south loops opened up today. Beware the south loop still has sagebrush sticking up and is a little thin in spots. No dogs in the meadow please. Enjoy! 

And just like that the USFS crew was back out on Thursday to get all the rest of the grooming done.  Tracks are set in most areas but please keep an eye on the weather, more snow expected in the mountains tonight and tomorrow.

Oooooh, good skiing in town!  Get it while you can and save some for me!  😁  South Park is looking great.  The snow was a little resistant to  holding perfect corduroy but that's getting pretty picky considering we didnt even ski down there last year!...

As of January 23rd at 10 am, Hatcher Pass Road is closed to access just above the Gold Mint parking lot.  Grooming will resume when conditions improve.

As of January 23rd at 10 am, Hatcher Pass Road is closed to access just above the Gold Mint parking lot.  Grooming will resume when conditions improve.

Sunset Loop  and  Midway  groomed this morning.

The singletrack trails are super compact and fun right now after this high and dry period.  They show as red or black on nordic pulse because their rating system is based on time since groomed.  That makes sense for ski trails which tend to get icy when they havent b...

There is no skiing on the Beach Lake Trails. Bill was able to make it around most of the trails with the snowcat yesterday. They are mostly thin, smooth ice covered with a little bit of fresh snow. The point was to tear up the ice so when we have new snow it will bond.  H...

Bill cleared the trees and larger debris off the trails but there are still plenty of twigs and sticks. If you're looking for a fun mission that would have great impact, take a rake and work some of that stuff way off the trails before the next weather system moves in. If it's...

Scratched up the trails and the Stadium...a little hard but was able to grind it up a bit so it's edgeable. Decent skiing. Enjoy! 

Scuffed up the trails on both sides. The field at ERHS and a few hills on Yosemite have exposed grass. It's edgeable and ok-ish skiing. Have a great day!

 Lazy/Knik trails are closed to Mat-Su Ski Club grooming until further notice.

Groundhog Day 2024: rumors of a rolled marathon trail....

Rolled Black Bear, Lower Dog Trail, 1/2 of Cinder, Magma, AA and Lava up to Morning Glory with small roller. Snow is light and airy so no conditions for skate. Guests are advised to bring rock skis for bare spots on trails. No trail fees apart from snowshoe pass and rentals at...

The Mahaffey Loop got the trail edges pushed out today.  It will be very soft on the sides but about a meter more wide in sections.  Great time for someone to set a classic track on the edge.   Patrick may head out again tomorrow.  It's about as good as it ...
