Silver Crest Trails Association

Another 1-3” on the way today. We won’t be grooming, but it should be fun Spring touring skiing through the weekend 🙂

Saturday saw crusty conditions in the morning.  Snow softening at approx 10 am. Good skiing till about 2 pm.  After that trails are getting soft. Classic tracks are in good shape and skating lanes are in fair condition. We took down the maps on the trees for the year but the individual trail markers are still up. The parking lot is usable but muddy.

Grooming one more time this weekend.  Why not !  Temps predicted in the 30’s to 50’s for Saturday and Sunday. Jake is going to get done before Saturday morning.

PistenBully is going thru tonight. We will get classic tracks set tomorrow. Come on up for our last groomed weekend! It was extra blue perfection today but Saturday will be 32F plus.

Parking lot was plowed! 3” of soft snow remains. Highways are clear and dry.

Jakes grooming today at 2pm. Will update tonight with parking lot conditions.

Be advised: the parking lot may not be plowed tomorrow, Sunday. If that’s the case expect 8-12” of snow atop 6” deep frozen ice ruts from the highway to any parking opportunities. In other words, bring a high clearance 4×4/AWD vehicle with good snow tires and some shovels and park in the dog mushing area close to the highway. But you may get stuck just trying to get to the mushers parking…

We groomed today, and depending on what we find at the parking lot in the morning we may or may not groom tomorrow.

A winter storm will bring 4-8” to the Little Belts starting Friday afternoon through Saturday night. We will groom Sunday morning after the storm. Please stay home Saturday during the blizzard, forecasted heavy snow and winds to 25mph!

Come up Sunday, Monday, Tuesday for winter conditions skiing with highs in the teens to 20s F.
