Ice

From the gate to the bottom of the first hill is ice. Please wear cleats on your ski boots to get to the skiing safely. From there on you can ski. The snow is soft but it is skiing.

Ice, Ice, Baby

The Zamboni got stuck in the drive up at Mcdonalds, it never made it to the campground. That was Sedgesprite’s plan after viewing the prospects. Couldn’t make the corners had to make due with a chillichino before they noticed it was gone. It’s no...

Montana Creek

Groomed this morning by Mike. Trail is soft and it is raining. He had a hard time getting the machine and groomer back up the hill. The hill be the end of grooming when we can not get back up.

Eagle Beach groomed Fri. evening

Eagle Beach was rolled and track set Friday evening. Snow is soft and wet. Still, there’s much more snow at EB than in your front yard, and it’s skiable, but no sugar-coating here: stretches vary from pretty-darn-good to occasional spots of big wet...

still skiing

Don and Del worked magic on the trail today-Shoveling snow over the puddles and grooming to perfection. Skate was soft but classic was great. Thanks to both of you keeping the dream alive.

Montana Creek

Montana Creek was skate groomed this morning. Don and I shoveled snow on the spots that had standing water plus draining them. Both Skate and Class are soft. We are giving it a star ratting of **. It is skiable.

No Upper Loop this weekend

The Upper Loop has lost a lot of snow and will not be groomed this weekend. We snowshoed the entire loop yesterday and there are many dirt patches and too much running water for grooming. But the snowshoeing is excellent, and back country touring skis would also be...

a taste of winter

I was pleasantly suppressed at the skiing at Montana Creek today. A decent classic track and a soft but adequate skate lane. Beggars can’t be choosers in these global warming and el-nino days. Thanks groomers

Wed 1/14 – Campground groomed, very wet

Scott groomed the campground this morning. Skate lane groomed out smoothly. Classic track is not so good. Some very wet spots in places. Anyone or anything not on skis will quickly degrade the groomed skate lane, so get out there early.

Eagle Beach Grooming 1-13

Eagle Beach conditions are very similar to Montana Creeks. There’s a firm snow base and nice corduroy for skaters with a great classic track. I also touched up the Methodist Loop, and there’s more snow out the road so conditions should last a few more days...
