Some new grooming this morning. Trails are hard and icy in sections. Lower trails are not recommended, (dog loop and mickeys) unless your looking for a little bit of sportiness on your skis! Only the skate tracks have been groomed as there is not enough snow base for track setting.

Check the trail descriptions below for trail closures. Some trails have been partially groomed but remain closed in sections due to poor skiing conditions.
Conditions are variable, tricky, and uneven with a very thin snowpack. Caution is advised at all times.
RNSC trail policies are now in effect.
Please note: The dog loop is not good to ski at this time, but you are welcome to walk or snowshoe this area with your dog until we have sufficient snow for grooming.
Night skiing is open until 9:30 pm every night on select trails. See trail info for our lit skiing trails.
Grooming information is also available on our snow phone: (250) 837-7303.
