Cross Country Ski Trails This Season, Nason Ridge Closed
Hello everyone,
We’re starting out the season with some unfortunate news. We will have no trails groomed out Nason Ridge this season due to logging on Longview Timber Company lands which begin immediately South of Kahler Glen Golf Course and include most all the trail system “up top”.
We will be grooming our “core trails”, including 8k in the South Park, 5.3k in the North (limited skate lanes), and 8k at Chiwawa See&Ski (skate lane full distance).
Though we never know for certain from year-to-year, Longview believes the logging will be completed this season and access to their land next season will likely resume. Many thanks to Longview Timber Company for allowing access to their land in the past, and we hope to be skiing up there next year!

No trails groomed but can we still use the trail this winter?
November 9th, 2007 at 1:24 pmI think the trails will be closed completely as Longview will be running logging equipment on the roads. I am trying to get more info.
Note the only trails that will be closed are up behind Kahler Glen, not at the State Park or Kahler Glen.
November 9th, 2007 at 3:43 pm“admin” is right - the trails south of Kahler Glen, including all of Nason Ridge will be closed. I don’t have any details of the logging that they will be doing, but they made it clear that the area is off limits this year. It’s a safe bet that this means all public access.
Thanks to Longview Timber Co. for all these years of public access to their property!
