Snow and Weather

Riding conditions are excellent right now. The snowpack is still shallow so you really need to use caution especially if you're riding sleds.

We basically have a ridge of high pressure moving in through the weekend. Temperatures gradually warm through the rest of the week. No significant snow storms are in sight as of right now.
