Happy Solstice! We groomed from the restroom to the pass at sunset. More than trying to present a consumable ski trail tomorrow, the groom was primarily to work on leveling the track for the future; like our big 1-2″ of snow by Saturday night. If interested, walking to the restroom to begin skiing is recommended. It’s almost entirely melted about half way to the restroom. After the road cut and small climb, it’s better and mostly covered to the restroom. However, it’s very thin and skiing with extreme caution recommended. Actually, walking to the restroom is recommended. We did not re-set classic from the restroom to the top since we were trying to level the crummy skate lane. Classic is okay at best toward the restroom and often melted and blown out above the first switchback. The skate lane looked much better when we left well after dark. Watch for thin spots for a while above the second switchback It should re-freeze tonight and be nice in the morning before softening if you’re up for the walk to the restroom.
Do your snow dance, add 1-2′ on your Christmas wish list, or whatever you can think of to get us some white stuff!

Good Morning,
We are open! We groomed for skate on our 1.1k loop on the lower track Tuesday morning. Skate is still good, but classic lanes are closed at this time due to lack of snow coverage. Snow will be pretty firm this morning after colder temperatures overnight. The snow should soften as we get well above freezing this afternoon. Please stay on the groomed trails!
Day passes are only $5!!
Have a great day!

Snow is hard with a crust of ice on top this morning. Come enjoy our manmade 2k loop, it will be fast this morning. Rain and warm temperatures yesterday likely took a toll on spin and grin and upper hollow natural snow trails.

Most trails groomed for skate and classic. Pleasantly surprised by 2″ of new snow, so the trails are really nice today!
No new grooming on Cornucopia, Evergreen, Bypass, or Camp Loop. Early season conditions exist: rocks, sticks, uneven terrain.

Thank your groomers. They are making the sweetest lemonade out of the bag of lemons the weather has given us.

No new grooming to report. Grooming at this time might make conditions less favorable.
Skated to the 1St switchback today. Skating was OK. Imagine above that would be similar.
Classic looked to be holding up well.
Light rain for a while but stopped quickly.
A few minutes of walking and a few minutes of cautious skiing gets to good coverage.
Let’s hope for some snow!!!!

Upon further inspection the snow may be too saturated to recommend skiing today. The groomer asks that you avoid skiing if you leave deep ruts so our one working snowcat does not have to work too hard to clean up deep ruts. Apparently further devotion to the snow bringing force of your choice is warranted.

If the thin vulnerable natural snowpack getting rained on has you down, never fear, manmade is here! 2k of groomed manmade can take this taste of Seattle and you can get your skiing fix. You can test out those hard shell layers, too. Please avoid the natural snow; the upper hollow should survive but skiing on it now won’t do it any favors.

Most trails groomed this morning for skate and classic. Look out for “early season conditions” in some places, including sticks, rocks, and uneven surfaces. No new grooming on Cornucopia, Evergreen, Cabin Loop, or Bypass. Best skiing will be on the Lake loop and in the Redman loops.
