A trail pass is required to ski at the area regardless of day or hour
Trail passes are required 24/7. Rules apply 24/7 including using designated dog trails; do not walk on groomed trails. We appreciate your help to keep the groomed trails in excellent condition by using them appropriately and supporting them financially.
Season passes are on sale at the City Parks and Recreation Offices. It is important that season pass holders sign-in at the yurt with each use, as this provides us with documentation of the necessary use numbers to justify the area staying open. There is also a red fee box located at the entrance to the trails for trail use when there is no attendant.
Trails are typically groomed daily by city employees or PXCSF volunteers. Everyone utilizing the groomed trails needs to pay the daily trail fee or hold a season pass. Every parking area has a fee box for mid-week and night use. On Friday – Sunday, 9am-5pm please pay in the rental office, the A-frame, near the main parking lot.
If no one is staffing the A-frame please put your payment in the red fee box in the parking lot. To reduce costs, the honor system is in place. Please be honest. The survival of the area depends on it.
Your donations keep the grooming machines fueled up and maintained, keep the trails level, help pay for new structures, etc. Thank you!

Trails were not groomed tonight due to warm temperatures and the access road to the Nordic area being closed for repair. Hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow.
Groomed all trails but Upper Canyon Sunday evening. Left the classic track alone from earlier grooming, as it was still in good shape. Trails still have a firm base but due to the warm wet weather, the trails are getting soft. Skiing should still be pretty good for Monday. A light misty rain on and off during grooming. Temp at 10pm was 36 degrees.
Groomed all trails tonight and set new classic tracks. There was substantial drifting throughout Lost Groomer, Dayley’s, and Jack Rabbit. Light snow and windy on and off while grooming, 31 – 33 degrees.
The Nordic Center received 5″ of new snow on the lower trails and 8″+ on the upper trails. It was 32 degrees when i started grooming at 6:30am. I groomed all of the trails and set new classic tracks on all trails except for upper Canyon. It was 36 degrees when i finished grooming at 11:30 am. It was snowing off and on while i was grooming. Enjoy!
Groomed all trails tonight including Upper Canyon with the Pistonbully. 13 degrees and clear skies at 11pm.
Joe groomed the upper trails with the Pistonbully, leveling out the drifts and cleaning up some of the rough spots. I groomed Creekside and the Connector as well as the Race Loop so everything got groomed except Upper Canyon. The classic tracks are still in great shape. Skiing will be excellent tomorrow. 12 degrees and clear when I left at 9:30.
From Phil: Groomed everything except upper canyon and jack rabbit. Expect good ski conditions today.
Groomed the skate lane for all of the trails. The classic track was still awesome so left that alone. 5° at 9:30 PM.
Groomed all trails except upper canyon. Classic track in good shape, so did not reset. Beautiful evening. Clear, 5F at 8pm.
