Hanson Hills Cross Country Ski Report – 11/30

Classic Day on the Nordic Trails!

We picked up another 4–5 inches of snow overnight, because apparently winter heard we were grooming and said, “Add more.” ❄️
Short grooming day, but here’s what got the fresh treatment:

• Yellow Loop – Skate & Classic
• Green Loop – Classic
• Easy Return – Skate & Classic

Skate deck is soft, so expect that “extra cozy cushion” feel under your skis. 😄

As for Tubing & Downhill—we’re not ghosting you. Tentative opening is December 20th, but if conditions let us open earlier, you’ll be the first to know!

Get out and enjoy that new snow! 🌨️⛷️🌲
