4/25/19 - Groomed Last night to compress and flatten snow. It is likely the last time we will groom. No tracks just skate lanes, classical skiers will enjoy also the surface. 7km ski (no bare spots) - 12km ski (take off skis twice). It is late season skiing but still worth it. With today's hot temps it is best to get out early. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a lunch.
4/23/19 - Though our touring center is officially closed. There is still snow out there and apparently we can't stop grooming it. We will be grooming every now and then just to keep skiing alive for those who want to enjoy late spring skiing. Conditions are surprisingly good for this late in spring. Come out and enjoy a pleasant late season ski!
Die Hard Skiers: We still have continuous skiing leaving right from our touring center.

Good News Cross Country Skiers 3/29/19 Looking for Superb Spring Skiing? We Have It!
We are grooming fresh tracks and skate lanes daily.
Our remarkably deep base (still 20"-38") is surviving this warm event exceptionally well. Best spring skiing in years. Skiers are amazed by our trail conditions. Temps did not drop below freezing last night. Yesterday's warm temps faded the track and softened skate lanes. We freshened the tracks and skate lanes throughout our trail system. We have groomed fresh well defined tracks and skate lanes on our Western trail network, Yates Farm Network, 10 km Village loop and Trails to Attitash MT Village (all freshly groomed). With today's warm temps trail surface will be machine groomed moist loose granular – packed powder mix. Our conditions are still surprisingly good. Spring is in the air, come on out and enjoy a pleasant ski.
Don't put away your skis yet there is plenty of winter left!
Time to purchase your 2019 -2020 season pass. You can ski the rest of this year and all of next season for one low price.
New and used equipment and next year passes on sale.

Good News Cross Country Skiers 3/28/19 Looking for Superb Spring Skiing? We Have It!
Our remarkably deep base (still 22"-40") is surviving this warm event exceptionally well. Best spring skiing in years. Skiers are amazed by our trail conditions. After Yesterday's warm temps and last night's cool down, trail set up firm again. We are grooming with both renovator and tiller, the result is a nice machine groomed loose granular - powder mix in AM – moist snow later in day. We are grooming fresh tracks and skate lanes as needed on our Western trail network and Yates Farm Network. Trails to Attitash MT Village were done Sunday and will ski best once temps rise above freezing. With today's predicted warm temps we will leave some trails with yesterday's grooming. Previously groomed trails will be firm in early morning and ski very nice once temps rise. Warm temps, Sun is out, Great conditions, Come on out and enjoy! Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a picnic lunch.
