Trail updates

Happy Valentine's Day! A little fresh snow up on the higher trails should freshen trails up. Another great day to ski! Warm daytime temps and below-freezing overnight lows make for some tricky grooming conditions, but overall anything groomed last night is in shape to ski and should be a fun, fast ski this morning. As things heat up throughout the morning and early afternoon conditions will soften considerably. Thank for your purchasing your trail pass to help support our grooming operations. Have a great ski! Maybe some snow tonight? 

Winthrop trails were groomed but are thin. Trail access is best from the Fish Hatchery and walking the first 100 meters.

Wax of the Day

  • Glide Wax:  Vauhti Cold is going to be your best liquid option this morning. This afternoon we would recommend Vauhti Warm. If you're going to iron in your glide wax: Swix 7 / 8 or Toko Yellow is our recommendation.
  • Classic: Skin skis are going to be great for reliable kick and glide. Don’t forget to treat your skins with Swix Skin Impregnation to help repel the dirt and maintain their condition. For kick wax we would recommend Swix Blue (KX30) in the morning and Swix Universal in the afternoon. Don’t forget to Iron in a Klister binder to keep the wax bonded well to the base.
