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!

Groomed Aberdeen, Lars Taylor. Comin around the Mtn was groomed yesterday but please do not ski Silver Star’s trails as they are not yet open. Passmore and Wylie’s Loop have also been freshl;y groomed. Upper and Lower World Cup trails and Montezuma were groomed later yesterday and have had little use.
The complete Lower World Cup is now groomed for the first time in many years. Here is a special treat for those intermediate to expert skiers who want an exhilarating downhill run. For the super fun bit, go up the Maid of Vernon hill near the bridge then left down to the donut on Montezuma. Please note that this is a one way trail so for every ones safety, do not ski back up, but continue in the correct direction back to the stadium.
We ask that everyone follow the proper course direction.
The remaining trails are not open yet due to open water holes which will require cold weather and more snow.
Come on up and enjoy early winter at it’s best!
There is not enough snow under the trees so the snowshoe and backcountry trails are not open.
