We went out yesterday afternoon in snowcats to assess the conditions. While we received three feet of snow over the past two days, there was still a lot of water in the meadow, which dampened trail packing and tubing hill efforts. We received another foot of snow overnight and will re-assess the conditions today. We anticipate opening a few groomed trails on Saturday, Dec. 27th, for cross country skiing and snowshoeing, and possibly one tubing hill. Stay tuned for further updates.

The “Christmas Miracle” storm is approaching as we brace for significant amounts of snow and wind later this week. Our current plan is to open groomed trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing this Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025. We will also try to open our tubing hills this weekend, and Reba’s Meadow Cafe will start serving on Saturday from 11am-3pm.
