The 2.8K loop at Turnagain Pass was NOT GROOMED today. At noon today, it was raining, visibility was poor and there were 15 to 20 mile per hour winds. The good news is, there's plenty of snow at Turnagain Pass so we should have plenty of spring skiing. We'll hold off grooming until the weather improves and looks like it will be good for a period of time. Stay tuned...

The 2.8K loop at Turnagain Pass was groomed this afternoon. We roughed up the hard surface a bit. It should be good skiing! There's some good crust skiing in the area too - avoid the lumps and bumps, but get out there and enjoy winter. Jim Just spent the last few hours grooming in Turnagain at Center Ridge parking area with these two volunteers . Go Enjoy!! ...

The 5K Nordic Loop will not be groomed again this season. Due to lack of snow and construction on the Arlberg Extension - which makes groomer and skier access to the trail extremely difficult, we are suspending grooming operations. When we get another good weather window of a week or so, we'll groom a loop at Turnagain Pass....
