Cross Country Ski Trails

Blue Hills Trails report:

On the East Side trails, skating conditions are good. The classic track was set a week ago and has held up well. Trails that are heavily wooded (especially pines & hemlocks) have some litter from Tuesday's breezes.

The West Side trails were groomed Thursday evening, conditions on the north half are very good. Excelsior Road (West Side) is in good condition - the snow cover on the east half mile of Excelsior Road is thin, but you can use your good skis the full length of Excelsior Road.

99% of the East Side trails are open and groomed for skating; more than 3/4 of the East Side trails are groomed for classic skiing. On the West Side, all the available trails are groomed for skating and classic skiing.

Read the important updates regarding the status of the west side trails. West Side logging was completed January 18th.

Ladysmith Area Trails report:

Sisters farm trail report. Jim groomed the skate lane on the East side and looks good. We did not have enough snow to redo the track on either side of the road. Dave groomed the west side trails for bikes and snowshoeing and should be excellent for fat bikes. Track needed to be skied in but should also be good.  Enjoy!
