Expected trail conditions: The skiing should be back in fine shape on machine made trails this week. Not quite enough snow to fully recover the Golf Course, Garipay and Up Top just yet, but we will be rolling and dragging what and when we are able. Nevertheless, we are happy to see a break from the rain and warm temps, next week looks chilly. 

    -  Silver Fox Trail, North and South Loops: Machine made snow, packed powder and fine granular, groomed daily for skate and classic. We have a Snowmaking week ahead of us. Snowmaking operations on the north loop including the stadium and campground Monday night into Tuesday morning, and South Loop likely end of the week or weekend, expect closures or whales for a few days each while the snow cures and we push it out with our machines.

    - Garipay/Golf Course: Extremely Icy base, ungroomed until further notice. Skier traffic is helpful for building trail surface in these conditions, Proceed with Caution. Garipay Snowmaking pilot project update, the Fan Gun has arrived and as time and temps allow, we will be putting that machine to use.

    - Upper Oak Hill Trails: Light Grooming until conditions permit something better, likely rolled on Monday, more to come. With weekend precip, adventurous skiers might find some nice dust on crust.
