Cabin Creek Sno-Park

3/27/26: Groomed up Amabilis, Pickett View N & S, and the spur.  The Road is still snow covered in places and as you head up Amabilis it's a hike past the first switchback and then another short hike after the second switchback.  Past the third switchback it's all snow less a couple skinny spots.  

This is the last grooming for the 25/26 season.  

 

3/25/26: Plan to groom Amabilis Friday for weekend.  This will be last grooming of 25/26 season.  Plan on hiking from The Road to 2^nd switchback.  

3/22/26: UPDATE; grooming suspended on lower trails and The Road.  While snow remains grooming would compromise what fragile snow base is left.  We will attempt to groom Amabilis for the weekend but currently it requires a hike to the second switchback.  

Groomed The Road and Amabilis to the top.   Grooming will be firm and fast this morning.

Probably last grooming of The Road.  Trail up Amabilis is melting quickly and requires a hike up to nearly the second switchback.

We will try to groom Amabilis next week depending on conditions, but this very well could be last grooming of the season.  

 

3/21/26: Groomed lower trails, The Road and Amabilis to the top.  The warm week and heavy rain has taken its toll; this will probably be last grooming of lower trails.  We will groom the Road and up Amabilis from the second switchback Sunday.  

Groomed Erling Stordahl for SkiforLight.  Double track set and the wet week requires a sense of adventure.  Flooding in Meadow Loop.  This morning will be last grooming for Erling Stordahl.

3/20/26: No grooming today.

3/19/26: No grooming today.

3/18/26: Due to warm temperatures and pouring rain no grooming this morning.

3/16/26: Groomed lower trails and Amabilis to the Y.

Made it farther down The Road, to Cedar Tree but blocked by another down tree.

3/15/26: Groomed lower trails and Amabilis Y with set track. Same trees as yesterday.

Groomed Erling Stordahl with set tracks, no Challenge loop or Roller Coaster.

3/14/26: Groomed lower trails with set track, Amabilis to Y with uphill track.

We received over 30 inches of heavy wet warm snow.  Trails are soft and several down trees we could go around via shortcuts, except The Road has two past the Berg crossing and both sides of Amabilis just past the Y.

Track packed Erling Stordahl just waiting for the water levels to drop before trying to roll trails.

3/13/26: We have rolled and groomed all trails ( less Ozbaldy) several times and they are buried under 2-3 inches of snow within an hour.

Erling Stordahl trails have also been rolled earlier in the AM but are buried now.  

Skiing will be a challenge. 

3/12/26: Grooming postponed Thursday AM  due to heavy rain tonight.

3/11/26: Groomed up Amabilis, set uphill track at second switchback.  Heavy snow.  Will roll lower trails later morning.  

Trackpacked Erling Stordahl; Meadow Loop, Forest Loop and Roller Coaster. 

3/9/26: Received about 2 inches of new snow so far and it has been snowing steady all morning staying below 32 degrees.  

We plan on rolling all trails Wednesday before it warms up if we get enough snow.  

Grooming up Amabilis Wednesday morning ( lower trails and The Road if possible).

3/8/26: No grooming due to warm temps.

3/7/26: Groomed up Amabilis from just past first switchback.  Uphill set track. Groomed Pickett View South and upper spur.  

Don't let the lower trails fool you if you head up Amabilis the snow gets good fairly fast and is nice up top.  

3/4/26: Paused grooming on lower trails waiting for cooler temperatures ( maybe weekend snow).  

Groomed up Amabilis, snow/ice from just past gate to first switchback.  Slightly uphill of first switchback the trail dramatically improves to snow covered spring conditions.  Uphill set track from just above first switchback.  

We will groom side trails on Amabilis this week for weekend.

3/3/26: Groomed limited lower trails and The Road.  

Please refer to yesterday's report and add from this morning;  the bare spots continue to grow throughout the trails and The Road.  Use caution on downhills.  New bare spot on The Road just before the Berg crossing but you can still ski around it.  

3/2/26: Groomed lower trails and The Road.  Faint track set on The Road, the HUGE temperature swings (48-25degrees) are turning the trails into hard ice making track setting difficult. No i90 loop.  Best course route is The Road, Viking to Boulder Field and exit Boulder Field to The Road thru gap in boulders. ( Race Couse, Thank you shovelers )

The March Plan:  continue to groom down low but if the conditions deteriorate, we will groom Amabilis as scheduled, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.  Plenty of coverage from the first switchback up with a set track.  

3/1/26Groomed lower trails and The Road.  No set track. Groomed up Amabilis both sides to the top.  Set uphill track on both sides.  Good snow from first switchback up, worst area is at bottom near gate.  Variable snow conditions as you head to top, big temperature swing yesterday and inversion this morning.
