Section 5: has been packed no tracks

Skating Pond: Is Closed for the season

The ski area will be open for the upcoming Easter Weekend and we continue to be in great shape. Despite this weeks variable weather, there is still plenty of base depth on all trails. In fact, the entire mountain should be open including the natural snow areas, as long as they are skiable. The groomer will be out Friday night preparing the skiing surfaces for the weekend. Please note that we are not open on Fridays during the month of March, but rather just Saturdays and Sundays

.

The cross country terrain will also be dressed up prior to the weekend and should be in great shape as well. We did have to abandon some of the X/C trails on the golf course due to the flooding that occurred, but there is still plenty to be had, mostly on the front side of Highland and a loop down to Murphy Farm and the beach. The skating pond has officially been closed for the remainder of the season due to the varying weather and our inability to safely put equipment on the ice to keep it clean. We are also not going to be maintaining the sledding hill anymore this winter. In fact, we will be scraping snow off the 18th fairway area to aid in the melting process and hopefully, salvage some of the turf underneath.

As for future weekends, it looks pretty good for us to be open the last weekend of March. Beyond that, depends on skier interest and the weather, so stay tuned!

Enjoy !!!
