In the words of Bill Withers, “Lovely Day” Blue sky, spring arrives midday. SPF50+ today. Blue wax with firm track skating in the morning, Classic tracks will soften a bit midday onward with red being the likely wax of choice. Hard and fast in the morning for certain. Packed powder and refreshed skate lanes everywhere. Skiing has been so good this week!

Please purchase and display your trail pass while skiing! Yes, we are checking. If you encounter dog walkers, runners, walkers, lost tourists, lost locals, fat bikers or anyone else not on skis on the ski trail please encourage them to visit the wonderful Round Valley or Basin Rec trails for those multi-use activities. Those trails were designed and built with your taxes and contributions to Mountain Trails just for those purposes. Have a wonderful day and we’ll see you out on the ski trails!

Wow… March is here. Gorgeous cold morning. everything is groomed and ready. Blue sky and blue wax will take the blues away. Get here and ski. Track should be firm all day and a bit squeaky. Please purchase and display your trail pass! Thank you all for your ongoing support and enthusiasm for nordic skiing. We are busy, but truly appreciate you and we are always happy to see you on the trails or in the shop. Please help us to continue to encourage walkers, dog owners and fat bikers to visit Round Valley or Basin trails. There really isn’t anything more frustrating for us than having Vail bound alpine skiers trudging along the track from their condos right after the groomers have passed…..

Be kind everyone and stay healthy

and here we are at the end of February already.. A beautiful winter day. It should be sunny and a little bit warmer as the day goes on, but definitely a blue wax kind of situation all day. Everything groomed and track set. firm base, soft on top. The last couple of weeks have been some of the best skiing of the winter and today is not exception. Please purchase and display your pass while skiing and we won’t ask to see it. Help us remind visitors, locals and wanna be locals to PLEASE not walk on the track and that their fat bikes and dogs are certainly welcome on the Basin and Round Valley trails, just not on the ski trails at WPT. Thank you and we’ll see you out on the trail!

snow flurries expected today. grooming priority is the 3k and 5k. Farm will follow along by midday. Bundle up and go skiing! Please purchase and display your pass! Thank you!
