What a day! All of the open trails are freshly groomed this morning. Maid of Vernon and Prince of Wales are now open and are in pretty good shape. There are a couple of spots on Prince of Wales with open water on the side but easily skied around.
White Elephant, Revenge and Silver Queen are being worked on today by George and Robert.
Gold Mtn is accessed from the park sign at the far end of the 3rd parking lot and will be groomed later this morning.
Our snowshoe trails are now officially open with Trapline, White Rabbit and Ridgeline the most packed in. Please use caution as the snowpack is still shallow in spots with uneven terrain.
Please park at a 45 degree angle and close to the vehicle beside you.
Come on up and enjoy early winter at it’s best!
