Trail updates, staff notes, and current weather
For all the talk about a "super" El Niño, our early fall is indicating a cooler, wetter-than-average trend! If fact, our last three El Niño years have produced an average of 119 days of grooming on our trail network, which is exactly the same as our average over the last decade. We have already had three high mountain storms that have dropped snow each time. If we get snow sticking around for more than a few days at the 5,000 foot level we will be ready to jump on grooming trails up high! And it's only mid-September.
Be ready for the season by purchasing our early season passes here before prices increase.
Thank you for your support of the trails through the purchase of your trail pass.

Ditch the car and let TranGO do the driving! Our local public tranportation bus service is now offering trips to the upper valley, including the Mazama trailhead. Rides are just $1 and kids are free. You can even bring your bike or skis along for the ride, and drivers can drop you off anywhere along the route it is safe to pull over. TranGO runs all day, Monday-Saturday; check out their website for route and schedule details.
