March 12, 2025 Cross Country Trail Grooming Report.

Trails have been groomed today and snow is still falling in Blue River. The warmer temperatures are starting to thin the snow in spots but the coverage is still good. Spark’s Loop has a few bare spots, so mind your footing.

If you are accessing the cross-country trails to go for a walk, please respect the skiers and stay on the sides. As the temperatures increase and the groomed area becomes softer, it is important that walkers stay to the sides and don’t damage the set area. Consider dogs on least to keep them from damaging track as well. Thank you in advance 😊

The bridge over the Blue River is open, allowing access to the full trail system.
Parking lot adjacent to Blue River Cemetery is available for off road parking.

If you are heading out in to the mountains around Blue River, be sure to check out the conditions in advance. Play safe.

We're not done with dangerous avalanche conditions yet. The combination of storm snow and a touchy persistent slab problem is still making for hazardous travel in avalanche terrain. Stay patient and disciplined with your terrain choices until the danger subsides.
