Trail updates

We just received a foot of snow up on Washington Pass yesterday! We are working with our partners at the USFS to see if we can do some early season grooming up that way shortly. Stay tuned here for updates. The snow should stick around for at least a few days if not longer up high.

Snow flurries in the high hills are signaling it's time to purchase your season's pass! La Niña, an active polar vortex, and significant Siberian snow cover are all pointing to a winter that is both colder and snowier than average. Our summer work season started on April 2nd, and we have been busy ever since in anticipation of winter! Our crew has been rebuilding bridges, developing a trailhead, clearing trails, working on trail tread, connecting with trail events, and working on agreements and grants that all make our trails possible. Get your annual pass now before the price increases on November 1. We can’t wait to start grooming and skiing!
