5-7 Inches of new snow!
Good News! We picked up 5-7 inches of new snow overnight. But, this covered up the grooming we did yesterday. So, we'll get back out there and groom this morning. Check the snow report for the latest updates.

20" Since Tuesday Means a Great Nordic Weekend!
As of this morning, we have reached 20 inches of fresh snowfall since Tuesday. This storm has been mighty generous, leaving behind some incredible conditions in its wake. Why not capitalize on that gift by taking in the absolutely astonishing conditions that fill the backcountry here at Bolton Valley?
For the weekend, we will have a freshly groomed 11km of skate and classic trails and the weather looks to be cooperative as well. We've been seeing some consistent sun towards the end of the week and on Saturday we have a chance of snow in the forecast.
And if it's powder you're looking for, we have a-plenty. Check out the photo to the right. That was only taken yesterday at 6:15 pm...so there's lots of untouched stashes filling the backcountry woods.
Take it all in. Days like these remind us why we ski in Vermont.

Nordic Center Open at 8am!
Conditions? Well, they’re incredible. The powder is soft, deep and plentiful. Every trail you pick is going to ski great, from the snow-filled woods to the groomed terrain. There’s really no going wrong. In the past 48 hours, we've had a whopping 16-17 inches of snow!
By noontime today we had 11km of skate and classic tracked trails. Midday tomorrow we will re-groom the same trails. We will also return back to regular Nordic Center hours tomorrow, which means you can access the Nordic Center starting at 8am.

Snow.
We've picked up 9-10 inches of new snow as of 2pm on Tuesday and it is still coming down. Heavily. This nice March storm is providing for some amazing mid-winter conditions. The backcountry will be the place to be tomorrow as powder will be plentiful. We will groom 10 trails for 11km of both skate and classic skiing in the morning. However, we expect to get a couple more inches of snow throughout the day on Wednesday so, that grooming may be covered up rather quickly.

Nordic OPEN!
A very brief update, with more to come!
Given the fresh 3 inches of snow we picked up yesterday, we have decided to go ahead and reopen our 100km of Nordic and backcountry terrain for today. The trails will remain ungroomed and we advise you to ski with caution as surfaces may be variable. Today would be an especially good day for snowshoes. We will look to groom late Friday or Saturday in the hopes of providing classic and skate skiing surfaces for the weekend.
