Conditions for February 19, 2023

We have another day of awesome trail conditions.  No new snow overnight, but what we got on Thursday and Friday has set up perfectly.  Conditions will be better in the earlier part of the day while it’s cooler, but the sun is promising to show itself this afternoon, so it will be a great day to get out at any point!

We are hosting a demo day today, with our friends from Salomon, Fischer/Swix, and Rossignol bringing their latest ski equipment for you to try out.  Look for their tents set up in front of  the chalet.

The snowshoeing trail is in great shape, and is a lovely way to explore the terrain at Highlands.

Fat biking conditions are also really good right now.  Yesterday’s riders reported that a low psi worked well, and we’d recommend the same for today.  Return to the chalet via the same trail you rode out on in order to miss the short drifted section above the front field.

It was saddening, and maddening, to discover that people had been out walking and running on the ski, snowshoe, and fat bike trails, resulting in large post holes over long distances.  Please, under no circumstances, during the winter months, should people be on the ski trails without skis, or the snowshoe trails without snowshoes (please, no crampons/spikes either).  It takes a lot of work to try to fill the ruts and holes that are left, and reduces the enjoyment of the trails for other users.

Our Valentine’s week “Feel the Love” sale is on until the end of the Family Day weekend, with 14% off all regularly priced in store merchandise*
