Trail updates

Well, what a treat to finally get a little fresh snow to work with! All but the most faithful has given up hope, but Mother Nature delivered a little respite. The 2-4 inches of new snow was a bit tricky to work with in some areas (fluff on ice) but in most areas it buttered up well. Skiing should be tremendously improved accross the system on almost anything groomed last night. Founders Trail in Mazama is not recommended today.

Due to mechanical issues, we were unable to put in new classic tracks in Winthrop and at some trails at Sun Mountain: Cabin, Raven, Upper Overland, Bluejay, Meadowlark, Upper Inside Passage, Sunnyside, View Ridge, Shortcut. Skate lanes are good on those trails and we will get classic tracks going as soon as possible. 

If you are 75+, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Please take our senior engagment survey here, and thank you for your time.
