Trail updates

Trail conditions remain firm and fast (and fun!) with the best skiing where we groomed most recently. The main trailhead loops in Mazama and out towards Jacks and Upper River Run, Thompson and Little Wolf in Sun Mtn., the Rendezvous from Cub Creek TH, and in Winthrop from the Fish Hatchery TH have the best coverage. 

The best classic tracks on Winthrop trails are from the Fish Hatchery to Wolf Ridge Resort  and on the Methow Community Trail. The MCT is skiing very well between the Fish Hatchery and Wolf Ridge. We were able to finally get the cat to groom the entire MCT last night so conditions have improved substantially on that trail. Classic tracks will be intermittent from Browns Farm to Wolf Ridge and it is still thin, but better than its been the last few weeks. 

Skiing is suprisingly great in many areas, despite this long, dry high pressure system. Let's do some snow dances and in the meantime, keep on skiing.

Plesae join us today for the Doggie Dash! Dogs and their humans go all out for a costumed sprint race at our headquarters in Winthrop. Costume parade starts at 2:00pm and the first races begin at 2:15pm. Our parking at HQ will fill up early, so if you come late you will have to park down at the IGA and walk up the trail.Please visit our event page for details.
