Monday’s snow level starts at 2500′ and slowly rises to 5500′ by 4pm. It’ll hold around 6000′ until midnight or so before dropping to 3500′.

It’s snowy or muddy on all the trails now. Please leave them alone so you don’t do damage. The only exception may be the lower parts of Syncline, but they are probably muddy enough that you will do damage too. Think about gravel or road biking today, as temps should make it into the upper 40’s with just-sprinkles falling from the sky.Upcoming Events
It’s Saturday. If you want to give back, you can volunteer at the Rebuild It Center from 9am to 1pm. That’s all I have today.
