Rick at the State Park provided the following UPDATE on Friday the 19th: Current Conditions: Temp: 29 degrees.
Nason Ridge is no longer able to be groomed – about 1.5 miles of the first 2.5 mile stretch is ungroomable/ unskiable due to bare ground and running water. Traveling over dirt and rocks can cause damage to the Sno-cat tracks and belting, so we are not able to access the upper section which is still in good condition. Skiers (hikers) willing to trek to the good snow will find better conditions once the temperatures warm. The North Park continues to offer good skiing in the camp loops and upper stretch to the bill hill (approx. 1.5 miles total). The South Park and shoreline trails of the North are in poor condition with too little snow for grooming.
South Park: No more grooming unless a turnaround in the weather.
Nason Ridge: Lower and Upper Nason groomed February 15. Good conditions after first few km.
North Park: To be groomed today, to be completed by 9 am. Decent skiing in the upper trails.
Chiwawa See & Ski: Insufficient snow for grooming this trail due to side slope, ruts, southern exposure.
I took the photo above on Monday Feb 15th AM on my way out to Nason Ridge, it was a great morning to be out, but I am afraid it was the last for this season unless something dramatic changes.
