Trails

To help protect our members and the larger community against COVID-19:

It is encouraged to wear a buff or other multi-functional face covering that can be pulled over one’s nose and mouth if it is necessary to pass people on ski trails and there is no opportunity to keep 6 feet of separation. We also encourage the use of cloth face coverings before and after skiing while interacting with skiers and other trail users. The same effort should be made if a skier is coming towards you on the same trail.
We recommend that all participants bring hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes in order to remain safe if using restroom facilities.

If you add the “bonus” loop on the lake, and also add a helping of campground strides, you get a 6-mile lap.

Pioneer Rd status…

By Randy Davis April 9, 2021 3:19pm

The classic track was set, and skate portion groomed, but 4 inches of snow accumulated between start to finish, so it’s pretty much a “break trail” situation.

Groomer

By Brian H April 6, 2021 1:12pm

I’ll am about to reset set classic and one narrow skate lane on way back in. It’s a little soft but skiable.

Backcountry
