Trail updates

It's currently snowing on the valley floor!! Nothing really accumulating yet, but the flakes are a welcome sight, getting our team excited for grooming trails. If you want skiing now, we have limited length but excellent ski conditions up at WA pass. Our groomer finished this morning around 9:00 am. We may groom again tomorrow morning, but stay tuned here for the most up-to-date grooming information. 

Parking is extremely limited, and 4-wheel drive is needed to park on the snowy shoulder, so please carpool. You cannot park on the highway, so make sure you are well clear of the white line, or you may be ticketed or towed, and we may lose our ability to groom. Some additional parking can be found east of the WA pass pullout. No pass is required at WA Pass, but purchasing your Annual Pass helps support our work, including early-season alpine grooming. Enjoy!
