    • Our great run packed powder has come to an end.  Yesterday's thaw and last night's freeze left us with a frozen surface. Fear not, our Pisten Bully is busy reconstituting it into very skiable terrain.

    • Base- 15"

    • Packed powder

    • All trails groomed and tracks set

    • The packed powder is hanging on and probably will until tomorrow afternoon. The Ginzu went out on the Lunch Trail yesterday, so its special charms may be whispering to you. Otherwise, it's just the same old great skiing.

    • Packed powder

    • ​All trails open and tracks set

    • Hope everyone survived the big storm. We'll take the Pisten Bully out and refresh all but the Lunch Trail and set new tracks. This isn't because of new snow (!!), but because of the heavy use the trails received on Sunday. Spoiled by the snow so far, we just want more!

    • Warming Hut open 1-4PM today.
       

  • 2/23/26: Roberts Farm Preserve Nordic Center Trail Report: 

    • New snow- 0"

    • Base- 15"

    • Packed powder

    • Try to get in a morning ski before the winds pick up. After yesterday"s Pisten Bully pass, the base has firmed up considerably. Skate skiing should be easier- no mashed potatoes. We'll regroup tomorrow after the storm, check for trail debris, and regroom. This should be an overall plus according to Polyanna.

    • Warming Hut open 1-4PM today.

    • New snow- 0"

    • Base- 15"

    • Packed powder

    • We'll be regrooming the trails today to firm up the base.  This is the best classical skiing in a long time. Kicking yourself later for missing it won't help. Seize the day.

    • Warming Hut open 10AM-4PM today.
       

  • 2/21/26: Roberts Farm Preserve Nordic Center Trail Report: 

    • New snow- 7"

    • Base- 15"

    • Packed powder

    • This season keeps on giving.  We are grooming out this latest dump with the Pisten Bully and the results should be sumptuous.  It will take some time, however, so keep the salivating under control. Patience is a virtue.

    • Warming Hut open 10AM-4PM today.

    • Base- 11"

    • Packed powder and frozen granular

    • All trails open and tracks set

    • We are holding off regrooming until after tonight's expected snowfall. That should freshen up the trails for tomorrow.  In the meantime, without the sun to soften the surface skiing will be a little peppy today.

    • Warming Hut open 10AM-7PM today.
