Crews got trees cleared from the STX this week but the trails need at least another week to dry out enough to reopen. Fingers cross for sun!

Last day for the snowcats this spring. Green Loop and Dark Alley are skiable with minimal puddles and mud. Lower section of Roller Coaster: Well, you don't know unless you go. We went and it's not good. Lots of mud and ice. Enjoy the last day of skiing! 

The 5K has a groom this morning. See skigirdwood.org for more info. Sporty spring skiing is here!

We did Treestand all the way back to the swamp. We groomed Sunnyside trail even though it didn’t really need it. We hit another quarter of the powder loops as well. Treestand should be fantastic tomorrow! It was a lit...

Fresh groom on Mud Lake, Intermediate Lake Gull Lake and McRoberts Creek to Jim Creek. Fixed all ruts on trail from motorized vehicles. Good snow/hard pack on all trails. Get out and enjoy before it melts!

Scuffed the surface with the snowmachine. Conditions are a bit hard but skiable. Have fun!

Four passes no track. It's getting pretty hard packed but still doable.
