The recent snows have made skiing possible again! There’s a few inches of new snow, though it is a little thin under the trees. Not sure yet if there is enough to groom this weekend.

A group of volunteers went and checked the Bald Mountain Loppet route today, to prepare for the planned 18-mile ski this coming Saturday. This is what they found. Sadly, we’ll have to cancel the Loppet. If we get snow enough to pull off this great adventure in 2024, I’ll let you know. And we were hoping for this to be the debut of our new snowmobile!
Several new inches of new snow in last 24 hours. Total of 10” at the Lodge now. The Divide Rd. (377) is packed to Lanes Overlook. Hume Rd and Big Loop are packed as well all in anticipation of getting groomed tomorrow. The groomers will have to make the call in the morning as to whether grooming is helpful or not. Snow is still a little thin under the trees. I could feel the ski scags touching ground once in a while. Hume Road and Big Loop have the best coverage. Little, Meadow and Potlatch loops left untouched for some nice powder skiing.
There is snow again. Hurrah!
Trails with more trees may not have full coverage and there’s not enough snow to groom yet, but we’re heading in the right direction! The Divide Road (377) was skiable, though thin under the trees, until just before Lane’s Overlook and Hume Road looked good.
Sadly the base has melted away at the Divide.
Great conditions on the Divide today. Thanks Matt for helping get everything groomed and tracks set. Everything on the east side is done except Potlatch Loop. Quite a few folks taking advantage of some prime snow. About 2” new snow since yesterday. Warming up but no significant impact on snow yet. Just a little faster.
Thanks to Dave Nelson for helping clear trails today. Snow conditions are pretty good on the 377 and Hume Roads. Big Loop has good snow as well. Meadow Loop and Little Loop are a little thin with a few bare spots. We’re going to try to have the 377, Hume and Big Loop groomed for the weekend.
