WHITE GOLD
MECCA got 8″ of Champaign powder yesterday. The trails were packed and rolled yesterday. The groomers are back out on the trail today setting tracks then combing the skate lane. The surface is soft but as we continue to groom and it stays cold it will firm up. The snowshoe trails offer 1, 2 and 3 miles loops. Do not walk on the ski or snowshoe trails with boots as you’ll damage the trails. Sign up for WINTERFEST and get a great logo shirt

TUESDAY TRAIL REPORT
The grooming team was out early today, they combed the skate lane and set tracks. Conditions are good to very good with a medium soft surface. Cooler temps should firm everything up.
Snowshoe trails are open and inviting.
Please no boots on the ski or snowshoe trails.
6-7″ POWDER SNOW OVERNIGHT
MECCA Trails got 6-7″ new powder overnight. Groomers were out today and rolled the 21K system. The grooming plan for tomorrow is to comb the skate lane and set tracks. So HAPPY to have new snow to work with….and snow on the forecast!
Snowshoe trails are inviting.
Please wear snowshoes whether shoeing on the snowshoe trails or the ski trails (please keep off the tracks). Please do not hike the ski or snowshoe trails wearing boots.
4-5″ NEW SNOW YESTERDAY
MECCA Trails received 4-5″ of powder snow yesterday. The grooming team combed the trails today but have not yet set tracks. Skiing conditions are marginal with thin spots throughout the trail system. Snowshoe trails are open.
SNOWSHOE TRAILS OPEN FOR HIKING
Ski trails are not skiable as we need snow. The snowshoe trails from the chalet trailhead are open for hiking. You don’t need snowshoes on them now, since they need more snow too.
TRAILS CLOSED TODAY
Due to the warm weather, we’re asking skiers and snowshoers to stay off the trails today. The base is fragile and will be difficult to repair. The grooming team is planning to meet later this afternoon as temps drop below freezing….stay tuned and do a little snow dance.
