As of this morning, the Clearwater trail was groomed for both classic & skate skiing..along with Loop 2 & 3..Loop 4 was set but with no classic tracks and is in poor condition.Qua Ck. Loop is CLOSED due to water hazards..the Night Loop was groomed, with no classic tracks due to the limited snow coverage..the Night Lights will remain OFF until further notice…we received some wet snow during the day, the groomers will be out again this evening to see if they can improve the conditions…lets keep our fingers crossed….

Think snow as we are in need of it. With the rain earlier this month and subsequent freezing all trails are unskiable at the moment. Please check the snowphone and Facebook for updates.
