Silver Crest Trails Association

Again we struggled with warmer weather and equipment issues today. The trails are not what we hoped, not all trails were groomed and track was only partially set. We’ll be working to get them up to snuff as quickly as we can, but may have to wait for more snow.

Just had to share this … sent courtesy of a valued Silver Crest Trails Association supporter: We agree!  There’s no prescription like endorphins.

It was windy and as can be seen in the image pine needles have littered the trails, but they are all groomed and track is set. The skiing was very good today and hopefully trails will firm up again tomorrow and over the week end.

SCTA was able to get the major portion of the trails groomed and track set today. Still a lot of fresh snow falling and the trails are starting to come together. Thanks to the groomers that were available during the holidays.
