Saturday and Sunday (12/15 & 12/16/2024) we cleared and packed (many times) the 1st 10k of the trail. We have at least a foot and 1/2 of snow and are waiting the serious freeze this week to settle our packed base.
We cleared other sections, from the West End in several miles and other sections in the middle but are seriously hampered by many many downed good size trees.
Not sure if whole trail can be fully open this year.
We are focusing in on doing what we can well. The majority of use is in & out from East End. The other is in & out from West End. Total system skiing is limited so with the many trees down, we have to prioritize around the heavy usage. We'll keep at it and keep you posted.
Skinny Ski posts when we can groom. Right now it you could ski in 10k for the East but no tracks and we still have lots of alder stubble to clear out.
We need snow to groom and are waiting the forecast but nothing real soon emerging.
