LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS
MON, MAR 16
Forbush Corner: Well it's a mess up north right now. We are busy digging out our own properties and waiting for the snowplows to clear the roads before venturing out to check the trails. We will assess the facilities and trails tomorrow and post plans for the week later on Tuesday.
Timber Ridge: In response to the Timber Ridge "charging" trail conditions post, this was an error our our staffs part and if you have purchased a season pass for the 2025/2026 season you may still use it and not pay the $10 day pass fee. While the season pass has expired, we will still honor it for skiing. Please note that while our grooming efforts will be considerably less, you are still welcome to ski with your pass. We set an expiration date to let you know the date that we will be cutting back on grooming efforts but it is still valid for skiing. If you have questions related to our management practices, please feel free to reach out to us. We would much rather correct that in person than have to find out about it on a trail conditions forum :)

Forbush Corner: Looks like we will be open today, but closed tomorrow, Monday. After the storm really figures out where it is going, we will make a call and reopen sometime this week. Windy and snowing currently at the corner. 240 loop, Ridge, Pancake, Badlands and Green Loop get the fresh groom this morning. All trails open. 100% coverage. Open 9 to 5.
Forbush Corner: Based on the heavy snow/ice storm warning we are closing for everyone's safety.
Cross Country Ski Headquarters: We've received another 2-3" so far. The trails are open, but we will not be grooming again until potentially tomorrow. There is full coverage on all the trails, and they were packed and groomed yesterday, so it should be a solid foundation under the 3' of fresh snow we've seen so far. Blizzardy conditions with no signs of letting up any time soon. We call this 'adventure skiing'!
Vasa Trail: Went to TImber Ridge to ski the Vasa trail and was informed that the season pass runs out March 1st and now you have to pay. I never thought they had this policy in the past and it is a bad one. If you have a season pass to ski from TR it should be for the whole ski season. If you agree and out at TR you should voice your opinion to management.
