Alpine Opening Dec. 18 at 9:30

12/17/2021

 
​We have been busy over the past week getting ready to open this Saturday at 9:30. The paddle tow will be open along with Jerry's Run (formerly Port Way). Please be respectful of the closed signs as snowmaking and grooming may be taking place in those areas.

​Our newest groomer takes a little bit longer to push out the snow.

Decided it is best to use both groomers today!

Not a lot snow. Some skate trails groomed.

12/17/2021

 
A big storm came through the other day and our volunteers were busy yesterday clearing trees and down branches and twigs.  Today they took a lap on the groomers.  The conditions are not ideal but they are skiable.  There are still wet areas, grassy spots and lots of twigs and sticks.  
The groomed loop is groomed for skate only. Conditions did not allow for setting classic tracks. 
The groomed loop is Abbey Road to Northern Lights to Seagull to the upper branch of Anchor (powerline) and down rollercoaster.

We have received about 8 inches of snow!

Alpine: Snowmaking is underway and should continue into Thursday as long as the temps stay low enough. We are looking good to open on Dec 18th!

We hope to lay some classic tracks on Tuesday Dec. 7th. Classic only trails; Deer Path, Black Bear, Sugar Bush will be rolled late evening on Dec. 6th.

Fat Bike: Hopefully will be able to open Tuesday, Dec. 7th

Mountain Bike Trail Update:

4/5/2021

 
Happy Spring!! 
​
Just a heads up about the CAMBA trails at Ashwabay.  I know we're all itching to get back out on the trails on our bikes, especially with the nice weather this weekend, but the trails are not quite ready for us yet.  There is still about a foot of snow on parts of North facing trails that needs to melt. It's especially bad on Tsuga Daddy.  Also, the frost is still coming out of the ground making for potential muddy conditions that can be worsened with bike or foot traffic.  It's best just to be patient and take a ride on the roads to get your legs spinning and ready for trail riding. 

See you on the trails soon enough!

    We work hard to keep our reports current.
    Much of our grooming is performed by volunteers, and their reports help to complete our information.
