Trail Report
January 30, 2008
We now have seven to ten feet of snow up at the huts, with another two or three feet forecast prior to this weekend. The heavy snow has resulted in the snow park being moved 1.2 miles back down the road from the normal snow park (outhouse parking area). There is just too much snow, with no place to push it!
Getting to the hut from the current snow park requires 5.5 miles and a 1600-foot vertical climb. The first 2.5 miles from the snow park is being snowmobile groomed, once you reach the section of trail being groomed by our new snow cat you can expect approximately 20 miles of professionally groomed trails.
There is a narrow section that keeps our snow cat from accessing the lower 2.5 miles of trail.
If you are planning a trip to Copper Creek Hut you should consider the extra 1.2 miles and additional 600 vertical feet.
Once you reach the snow cat grooming, ski conditions are great! Normal winter snow fall from this point forward is going to result in record snow fall for our system this year. We will have a good skiable base well into May this year.
Check out our High Hut web cam which has been working lately. Our web page is being updated and you should check it out from time to time for current information.
Make sure you have tire chains and allow some extra time for your trip!
See you out on the trail.
