Lots of skiers out yesterday enjoying the snow!

This morning is another good morning to ski! The Trapper’s Cabin trail is in great shape, with tracks set and snowcombed skate lanes. The rest of the trails (except Tall Pines) are also in good condition, with just a few thin spots beginning to show – the snow quality is high, with no ice and no wet spots. Enjoy it early for best conditions!

Today’s Forecast: Partly cloudy. High 42F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Upcoming Events:

Saturday, February 24th – 1:00pm: Ribs & Blues, 10:30am: Free Beginner Lesson
A favorite XC Ski HQ tradition, Ribs & Blues features an afternoon of fantastic live music from Rhett’s Eastside Blues Band, as well as German Dave’s famous BBQ ribs. It’s a perfect day to hit the trails, then kick back by the fire and enjoy great music and outstanding ribs, scalloped potatoes, and coleslaw. There is also a free beginner ski lesson at 10:30am.
