Join us for a cup of hot chocolate at our Valentine’s Day Lantern Ski. We will have lanterns out on Jessica’s Trail. This is a classic ski ONLY trail that winds through the forest adjacent the stadium.
A headlamp is strongly recommended if the moon is not out as the lanterns are spaced fairly far apart.
See you then!

We are utilizing the Silverstar Weather Forecaster for the remainder of the season as Weather Underground has been providing inaccurate weather information. We are always looking for better ways to communicate our predicted weather more effectively to the public. Please check out the latest forecast from SilverStar Mountain Resort.
Trail Conditions for Sunday April 7th.
The temperature at 9 am is -3.
Groomed trails are in great shape with a thin layer of fresh snow.
The most recent grooming is on Woodland Bell, Carl Wylie and Lower Passmore. I will go on Montezuma and Wylie’s Loop shortly. Aberdeen, Lars Taylor, Coming Round the Mtn, and Silver Queen were done during the snow storm. The rest of the trails will be pot luck.
The gate will be closed about 5 pm tonight.
This is my last shift grooming as I am retiring so thanks to Sovereign Lake Nordic Club for a wonderful second career and to all of you for putting up with my attempts at creating a bit of corduroy and track.
Have a great summer and I will see you on the trails next season…..skiing.
