The RFP Nordic Center and Nordic ski trails are open today.

• ​​New Snow: 3"

• Base- 4-5"

• Packed Powder, all trails groomed, no track set.

• We are grooming the new snow that fell on Sunday and Monday with the hope of creating a close to acceptable skiing experience.  However, the basic problem persists:  a layer of ice under the powder. A day, or maybe two, of use may sheer off the new snow and leave us with dangerous conditions. A heavy, wet snow or lots of powder are the only remedy for this condition. Frustration is the mother of dubious thoughts.
