We groomed fresh tracks and skate lanes today!

We still have very nice trail conditions

We had a net gain of 1" new dense granular snow overnight. This snow will work out well in areas where our snow base was still intact. We have groomed Waterfall Trail, Experimental Forest Trails and Albany brook trails. Machine groomed loose granular surface (very nice). Coverage on river trails is very thin, but coverage in experimental Forest Trails is solid and groomed. Skiers will be amazed we still have at least 10km of freshly groomed pleasant spring skiing. Birds are out, water is flowing, sounds and smell of spring are everywhere. Skiing is too good to miss, but it will not last forever. Come out and enjoy a relaxing ski on our scenic trail network.

Due to concerns about the corona virus we will be closing all public indoor areas. We will no longer be preparing soups or bread. Our warming area and rental area will closed to public use.  Rentals will no longer be available. Though we are grooming mostly for our season pass holders we are offering public access on a fresh air basis. We do take this virus very seriously, but believe with precautions, people can and should still enjoy outdoor sports safely. We have several picnic tables spaced out for public use. We recommend bringing a lunch and enjoy some scenic open air dining.

Looking for excellent X-C conditions with spectacular views? We have them! 50 km 

Now that temps have dropped, trail surface has set up again. We are out grooming fresh tracks and skate lanes again. Trail surface gets better with each grooming. We are grooming with tiller, renovator and tenderizer. The result is a very nice machine groomed loose granular - powder trail surface. We have done our part, now it is time to do yours. Come out and enjoy! Even though we had a meltdown, snow coverage on our trails is exceptional.

Our much sought after Waterfall Crossing is open!

Skiers are amazed by our trail conditions. Most say best conditions in the state. Come ski the difference, find out what you have been missing. 

Freshly Groomed today: Waterfall trail (#2), Experimental Forest Trail (#19), East Albany Brook Trail network(#5,#5B,#22,#6), Upper Meadow(#1), Lower fields, East Pasture, Our Upper(#16, #17) and Lower(#30) Scenic Simple Saco River Trails, Village loop and Trails to Attitash MT Village. Yates Farm Trail Network by 10 am.
