Snowing super hard at Vallecito today. We are fighting the good fight but it may be a losing battle for the time being. Keep in mind that the road below the dam may not be plowed if you choose to go up to Vallecito. We have a crew out today and tomorrow. However, with the amount of snowfall, downhill skiing or touring may be the better choice.
Thank you for your patience.

Update Friday Feb 15

Another 8” fell Late Thursday night, that’s on top of the 9-10” from earlier in the evening on Thursday. All trails were groomed today (Friday) however, more snow is expected tonight. We will do our best throughout this storm cycle to keep trails groomed. Conditions will probably be soft at best. Classic skiing and touring should be great.

Trails were rolled and packed today but couldn’t really keep up with the new snow. Tomorrow (Friday) we may be at the mercy of the county snowplows. If the road to the trailhead is not plowed, we may not be able to groom the trails. Will try to post as soon as we have good info. Regardless, tomorrow will be a better day to downhill ski or tour in the fresh snow. Enjoy.

Update Thursday, Feb.7
Groomers found about 4″ of fresh snow on Wednesday morning and high winds. All trails were groomed yesterday, but winds may have covered up all of their hard work. But fear not, we will be back on it today (Thurs 2/7) to get trails buffed out.

Update: Monday, Feb.4
Trails groomed today for skating and new classic track set on Main FS road and East Creek. Warm temperatures and recent Rain/Snow/Slush have made grooming and skiing challenging. We are doing our best and temperatures are expected to drop later this week.

Update: Sunday, Feb. 3
No grooming today. Warm temps and about two inches of slush at Vallecito this afternoon. Grooming attempts would have done more harm that good. We will regroup tomorrow (Monday Feb.4)and hope for colder temperatures will might enable us to spruce things up.

Daily grooming of the skating lanes continues at Vallecito and the skiing continues to be great.
A well timed storm is looming for this coming Saturday, in the meantime, the skiing at Vallecito is awesome, thanks to our crew of volunteer groomers.
