We received about an inch of snow overnight, and it is supposed to continue snowing for the rest of the day and overnight tonight. Groomer Mike will Ginzu snow comb this morning, and continue grooming throughout the day as needed to keep up with any accumulation. The best conditions this morning will be on the Trappers Cabin and Rolling Hills trails, followed by the Manitou and Wild Turkey trails. Adventure and Tall Pines will not be groomed until more snow falls. We are looking forward to Winter Trails Day, the Free Saturday Ski Lesson, and Padre Tacos, all happening today at XC Ski HQ!

Join us for this weekend’s events!
