    Happy St. Patrick's Day!  The trails are looking dapper with a fresh coat of corduroy and classic track. The storm mid-week brought around 5" of snow but also 50 degree temps and rain, so the trails were FIRM... Not to worry though, we were able to spruce them up nicely.

    Ultimately it took the cat, with down pressure and a few preliminary laps with the snowmbile to get track set, but it should be solid.

    All trails (except for the dog trails) were groomed. This is the last time we plan to groom SG east for the season. There's still plenty of snow but a nice crust is forming up, which will allow us to ski anywhere we want!

    Next week will be the last weekend of grooming, but the skiing should be good for a while.

    Note- Pahaska will begin construction of a new dyke along the river on April 1. This is just north of the tepee flats, before moose flats. They will be clearing all the snow away to begin work. You'll still be able to get out to Msse Flate and the barn by going up onto Race Park and accessing from above.

    enjoy this weekend!

    Grooming commenced on Friday, March 10, with a full groom done on all trails. By the time we had cleaned up and put away gear, it was time to groom again! 4.5" of snow fell in just a few hours, followed by some heavy rain, making grooming necessary again the following day.

    We re-groomed Early Saturday AM and it is safe to say that the trails are fantastic!

    Trails groomed with the Husky snowcat: Moose Flats, Crow Creek, Barn Road, Race Park, Haul Road, Outlaw, SG East and Becker Trail

    Trails groomed by snowmobile: Middle fork, Penny,s,  West end of the Haul road, the highway and Dog Trails East of the river. 

    Weather looks to get warm Sunday- Tuesday, so expect some fast conditions with glazed tracks and good skating. Wednesday will bring another storm but stay fairly warm, so we may have some more rain before or after snow.

    We plan to groom next Friday for another great weekend of skiing. Just FYI,  some bears are starting to emerge from hibernation. Web haven't seen any activity yet, but it pays to be vigilant. Also, Sunscreen and extra water are necessary with longer, sunnier days!

    See you on the trails!

    2-3" of fresh snow since Thursday's Grooming report. I groomed Saturday evening in hopes that conditions will stay good through Sunday, although heavy snow started about halfway through grooming, with an inch or two expected through the night and Sunday.

    Trails Groomed by snow cat: Moose Flats, Crow Creek, Barn Road, Lower Race Park, (no Jackson Hill), Middle Fork, The highway, Haul road to Sleeping Giant, Becker Trail.

    Trails not groomed: Outlaw, Penny's, SG East, Dog Trails.

    Trails are firm considering all the new snow we've had, if the new snow is light, it should be great skiing the rest of the weekend.

    We plan to continue grooming through the Month of March. At this time it looks like weather and temps will make for excellent spring skiing.

    Enjoy, the Groomers

    around 3" of new snow since we last groomed makes for a nice refresh of trails that are finally firming up from the large storms that hit us week-before last.  A strong breeze persists, so tracks in open areas may have already filled in, but they are there!

    Trails groomed by snow cat: Highway, Becker's, Penny's and Outlaw

    Trails groomed by snowmobile: Moose Flats,  Barn Road, Crow Creek Loop, Race Park, Middle fork, Haul Road,and SG East.

    Dog Trails: Today was the first time they had been worked since the big storms, which meant lots of shoveling and getting stuck. They have been rolled and leveled, but no track is set on them yet. They re good skiing if you don't mind not having tracks .

    More snow is in the forecast For Friday- Sunday. Some main routes might be touched up on Saturday if the need arises.  Snow looks prevalent through next week, as do cool temps, so winter is far from over!

    We have around 20" of fresh snow from the last storm. Unfortunately some of it came down sideways! There are some impressive drifts out there. The high winds that created the drifts also blew down some trees, one of which is just at the end of the corral, across the trail. It's been moved, but there remains some debris on the trails, so use caution.

    All Trails North of Pahaska and the Middle Fork Trail were groomed today. This includes the following trails: Moose Flats, Crow Creek, Barn Road, Race Park and Middle fork.

    Grooming will resume tomorrow on all south trails and the Highway. we hope to do more grooming and less shoveling tomorrow.

    Happy Trails,

    The Groomers

    two inches of fresh snow overnight. All trails North of Pahaska were groomed, as well as the Highway to the East Gate and Middle Fork.

    3-7" of new snow is expected tonight, followed by back-to-back storms of  5-8", so grooming might wait until the weather lets up a bit.  There is a High wind warming and winter storm watch currently in effect, so conditions will be variable.  If you like to ski in powder, you'll enjoy the next few days.

    Wrapping up a fantastic week of ski racing last weekend, the trails were in good shape until mid-week. The storm that hit Cody only deposited around 2" of snow at Pahaska.

    Groomers took advantage of a sunny day and reset all trails.

    Trails groomed by Snow Cat: Moose Flats. Crow Creek, Barn Road, all of Race Park, Middle Fork, Outlaw, Penny's and the haul Road to Sleeping Giant.

    Trails groomed by snowmobile: Becker, SG East trails, the highway to East Gate and the dog trail.

    The forecast looks like we will be getting a substantial amount of snow starting Saturday and continuing through Mid-next week. 12-16" are possible! 

    we will try to re-groom the trails as needed throughout the 3-day weekend.

    Happy Skiing!

    Things are back to normal after another fantastic Taste of Trails event. The weather provided some fresh snow to make the event feel very festive.

    Groomers hit all the Trails North of Pahaska, as well as the road with snowmobile grooming on Wednesday, Feb 1. They've held up well so they were left for the weekend.

    All grooming on Friday took place South of the river, as well as the Highway and the Dog trails.  Everything is in great shape!

    Edit: Moonlight skiers have reported 3+ inches of fresh snow Sunday Evening, so we should have nice snow to work for the weekend!

    Next Friday and Saturday , (2/10-11), the PCNSA trails will be hosting The High School and Middle school xc ski races. All racing will take place on the trails North of Pahaska, The highway and Middlefork. Trails to the south should be open to citizen skiers, but be advise that access and parking may be restricted before and during each race.

    Happy Trails!

    The January doldrums are here, with not a lot of storm activity in the last 10 days. Pahaska picked up a couple inches of snow since last weekend and the groomers chose to preserve it by waiting until today to reset trails.  Despite  not a lot of new snow, the trails are in great shape and everything is skiing really nicely!

    Trails Groomed:

    Middle Fork, Race Park, Becker Trail, Outlaw Bench, Moose Flats, Crow Creek Loop, Barn Road, Penny's Passage, the Haul Road to Sleeping Giant, SG East trails, The Highway to the YNP East Entrance and the Dog Trail across the river. As of today, YNP had not set track in the park, but the skiing was pretty nice on the snowmobile side going up Sylvan Pass. 

    You may see some prep work has taken place and new cutoffs that have been groomed that  for the Taste of the Trails event next week.  Feel free to ski those connectors if you'd like.

    see you on the trails!
