Sorry for the late start with our grooming updates! We have been grooming for the last couple weeks and gave been trying to keep up with the snowfall and the high usage on our busiest trails. Look for more detailed updates in the future. Fees are being collected and we're looking forward to a good season as long as the snow keeps coming.

We had already had one serious accident this season, which could have been much worse if a helmet was not used. Please remember to have/use/wear your safety equipment and be aware of conditions!
