Happy Friday! We went out to Wintergreen today and rolled and combed A Loop, B Loop, D Loop, Shortcut, and Kiddie. Unfortunately, with the warm weather and lack of snow recently, the trails are looking a bit rough. There's quite a bit of debris on the trail, particularly by the entrance of B loop. I would recommend rock skis for the time being. There is a small tree down on the southeastern part of B Loop. It has a passable low spot, however if you take Shortcut you'll avoid the tree altogether.

All trails are still open! C Loop and Kiddie were rolled with a comb. Loops A, B, Shortcut, and D were all groomed. There are tracks set on loops A, B, and Shortcut. Good skis are recommended on those trails. B skis are recommended for C Loop and Kiddie.

After quite a few years, we have been able to open all loops at Wintergreen Recreation Area. A, B, and Shortcut Loops have track laid. C and Kiddie have been rolled with a comb. D Loop has been groomed, but no track laid. The wet area on C Loop is passable. C Loop looks great, but you may not want to use your good skis in the boggy area. Please enjoy your winter woods. We welcome anyone who would like to become a trail volunteer. Good skis are recommended for A, B, D, and Shortcut Loops. B skis are recommended for C and Kiddie Loops.

A and B loops are groomed with track laid. D and shortcut loops are groomed no track. Occasional debri on the trail, there are quite a few deer on the trail at this time.

We did a couple passes with the groomer and set track on A and B loops! Again, there is still some minor debris on the trail. This will likely be the only time we groom the trail this week due to the forecast. C and D loops remain uncleared, but we will have a crew continuing to clear them on Thursday.

Happy New Year! We groomed and set track today on A and B loop. There is still some minor debris poking through on the trail. C and D loops remain uncleared.

(Aaron Thompson, US Forest Service)

We have rolled and cleared A, B, and Shortcut loops. C and D loops remain uncleared. Grooming plans: The cleared loops will be groomed Friday. Happy New Year Everyone, and please enjoy your National Forest.

This week the Forest Service begun clearing the Wintergreen Ski Trail. We finished clearing A and B loops today. We were able to roll B Loop and pack it down some. Expect some sticks and twigs on those loops. C and D loops have not been cleared yet. The Forest Service will continue to clear and roll the trails next week. We will need more snowfall before grooming and setting tracks.
