    Due to the very warm temperatures and rain the last the few days, the groomers have held off of any resets until temps have returned to seasonal levels.  Grooming when it is too warm or too wet can do more damage to the existing base and cause it to turn to ice, we want to preserve the quality of the snow. 

    The plan is to groom tomorrow, (Thursday) as temps will be in the 20's and then again Saturday before the Youth ski programs.

    Given the extra day for the snow to dry out, the trails should groom up nicely.

    Stay tuned for more updates.

    Christmas is right around the corner!

    The Grooming elves were busy freshening up the trails for the weekend after 3-4" of snow through the week.  Temps never got quite as cold as in town and the snow groomed up beautifully. 

    Trails groomed:  Moose Flats, Crow Creek, Barn Road, Race Park, Middle Fork, Becker Trail, Haul Road to SG, Pennys, Outlaw and all of SG East including Granny's Cutoff.

    The Highway and Dog Trail were also groomed.  No tracks set on the dog trail but its in good shape.

    More snow is in the forecast for Christmas Day, (Sunday) and again on Tuesday.  We will be resetting the trails as needed throughout  the Holiday weekend.

    Merry Christmas!

    The Groomers hit the trails on Friday, 12/16.

    Dog Trail

    Bitter cold temps are coming the middle of this week! While it is likely that it will be warmer at Pahaksa than it is in town, there will still likely be single-digit temps and rounds of heavy snow.  If you go, be prepared and have the necessary clothing and equipment to be out for an extended period of time.

    There's potential for a good amount of snow this week, so depending on the forecast and outcome, the groomers will plan on which day(s) they will be up, but they plan to have trails ready for the Christmas weekend.

    See you on the trails,

    a few inches of snow fell through the week. All trails were reset with full track and skate lanes, including the highway to the Park.  The Park Groomer came over from Lake so the skating up the pass should be great this weekend.

    The Dog Trail was refreshed and widened and is in good shape. One good way to access the dog trail is to park in the highway pullout just before you reach Pahaska. This saves a walk back across the highway bridge.

    One note about Dogs on the highway; please plan to pick up your dog's waste and throw it off the groomed trail. Rex Brown is not a good wax to have on your skis, it makes them doggy... (Dad joke)

    See you on the trail.

    Pahaska received 12-14" of new snow over the last few days. The Grooming crew was busy packing down trails yesterday.

    Trails Groomed:

    Moose Flats, Barn Road, Crow Creek, Race Park, Middle Fork, Penny's, Becker Trail, Haul Road to SG, SG East.

    Trails Not Groomed:

    Outlaw Trail

    The Dog trail was groomed and is in good shape and ready to ski. There are some early-season conditions on it but overall is in very good and ready for you to explore. There is no track yet, only a packed surface. Simply walk East, (Back downriver long the highway) across the river bridge to the end of the guard rail, where you'll see a red sign post. The trail is a loop, or can be skied out and back.

    The weather looks like we will have cool temps and sun/dry conditions for a few days, and then get back into a storm cycle, so keep  doing your snow dances!.

    Pahaska received 12 inches of snow yesterday. Trails were rolled. No tracks. Soft surface. Still snowing when groomers left. No grooming today . May get out in the very early morning tomorrow to continue to pack and possibly track, depends on how much snow comes today.

    The groomers touched up all the trails and worked to put out signage on gthe trails. Tracks were removed in some areas to preserve snow conditions and flatten the surface.

    Trails groomed with Track and skate lane:

    Moose Flats, Crow Creek, Barn Road, Race Park, Middle Fork, Haul Road to 3-mile hill, Penny's., Becker Trail

    Intermittent track: Middle Fork, Haul Road to SG,

    SG East should be good skating. No track set.

    As temps warm over the week, be aware of thin, early season conditions.

    The Porta-potties are behind the Old Pahaksa Lodge.

    The Highway barricades are up, but no skiing on the highway yet.

    The dog trail has been improved from last year and packing has started but its pretty thin.

    Lots of wildlife still frequenting the area, use caution.

    No more grooming will be done until the next storm brings more snow.

    Have fun and Happy Thanksgiving,

    The Groomers
