Feb. 17th Conditions Update
Volunteers are getting the course back in shape with the recent snow dump. Because we are starting from scratch again grooming will take more time to complete. Look for track-setting and all fat bike trails to be completed by the weekend. Please note that due to blowing snow many trails remain bare in spots. It is crucial to obey barriers and signage to keep off of treacherous terrain. And don't forget, consider joining SNO as a volunteer and/or as an annual supporter!

Jan 30th, 2026 - Conditions Report
Fat Biking - The Green Flag (Yips) / Multi Use Yellow Flag Routes and the 2 Southern most Blue Flag Trails (Infinity) are actually pretty good. Ride slow - yes some Ice lurks but is bonded lightly--no mud to speak of--ride on the grass where possible as it's still frozen. Watch hills of course though many are clear of snow and ice. Avoid all the Eastern most Blue Flag trails, bumpy from walkers and poor bonding to the underlying ice. XC Skiing/Skating - Only on the top
