Featured Events
Feb 5th: It was extremely cold on Tuesday night while grooming took place under partly cloudy skies, with no precipitation. The recent storm over the weekend brought 5-10 cm's of new snow (up to 20 cm's at higher elevations). High winds during the storm will have caused debris fall and drifting in some areas. This new snow will help, but the snowpack is close to a historic low for this time of year, with about 5 cm's of snow accumulating in January. Many lower elevation trails have not been fully trackset due to underlying hazards in places.
Though the solid base from a Dec. melt has suppressed most exposed rocks and dirt at lower elevations (some are still present) early season natural hazards exist on many trails north of and definitely including Packers. These include some bumps and uneven surfaces, exposed brush and possible ice; there is also the possibility of downed trees from recent high winds, with lots of debris under or mixed in to the new snow. Packers continues to improve but needs the most snow to eliminate hazards and it deserves special mention for the quantity of early season hazards, mainly bumps and uneven surfaces. Late December snow at higher elevations eliminated most hazards south of Packers, though a few still exist.
