Trail Etiquette

Help protect our grooming and keep everyone safe and smiling.

🛡️ Respect the grooming

Ski only on groomed lanes. No walking, snowshoeing, or fat-biking on tracks when snow is present. Step over classic tracks.

❄️ Fix ruts & falls

If you leave deep ruts or divots, please smooth them out for the next skier—especially on corners and hills.

⏱️ Right-of-way & passing

Keep right on two-way trails. Downhill skiers have priority. Call “Track!” or “On your left/right!” to pass; move aside safely.

🌡️ Cold-weather courtesy

Keep breaks short on very cold days; yield space to lessons and youth groups to reduce waiting.

🗺️ Follow signs & directions

Obey one-way sections (e.g., Hilly). Respect closures and caution signs. Stop well off trail and avoid blind corners.

👥 Headphones & lessons

Use low volume. Give wide berth to Jackrabbits and coached sessions; follow marshal directions during events.

Safety Essentials

🧥 Dress & weather

Use moisture-wicking layers (base/mid/shell), warm hat/buff, mitts. Avoid cotton. Watch for frost-nip and frostbite.

🗺️ Stay on signed trails

Expect ice under fresh snow and soft corners after warmups. Do not venture onto lakes/ice from ski trails.

🗓️ Plan your outing

Check conditions, avoid skiing alone in extreme cold or after dark, and share your route & return time with someone.

⛷️ Hills & speed control

Descend single-file, leave space, and keep speed within control—especially on the Hilly one-way section.

🎒 Carry a small kit

Phone, ID, whistle, water, snack, simple repair (basket/strap), and a foil blanket.

🆘 Emergencies

Dial 911. Provide the loop name and nearest junction. Keep the person warm/dry and move off trail.

Grooming & Operations

Volunteer-run; frequency depends on snowfall, temperature, and equipment.

What to expect

After large storms, priority loops may be groomed first; some tracks remain soft for 24–48 hours.
Please avoid skiing during active grooming and don’t block groomer access at trailheads.
Watch Facebook for partial openings, windfall clearance, or equipment updates.

Support the trails

Memberships and day passes fund fuel, parts, signage, and grooming time.

Parking & Facilities
