The Tuesday after Thanksgiving has become known as “Giving Tuesday”, an initiative to encourage supporters to generously donate time and money to organizations within their community. We invite you to please consider making a special donation on November 28th. MECCA Trails is 100% volunteer supported and all monies go toward supporting and enhancing the trail system, as well as community outreach. We sincerely thank you for your support.

MECCA volunteers have been hard at work keeping our firewood shed full for the upcoming winter! Remember to thank a volunteer next time you enjoy the fire in our cozy chalet.

MECCA volunteers have been busy working on the trail and making firewood for the upcoming ski season. Thanks guys!

Late summer has welcomed trail users with the absence of bothersome insects (almost) and the soft maples showing a hint of red in its leaves telling us fall is around the corner. There is a good chance of getting startled by the flushing of a grouse or getting a closeup look at a fawn deer and its mother.

Trails are in good hiking condition with a dry trail tread and moderately short grass. There are two wetlands within the trail system, one on the Moose Loop and the other on Homestead which requires trail users to adjust their routes. To access the entire trail system, study the trail map and take advantage of the recently installed boardwalk on the southeast side of the Moose Loop.

Tonight’s grooming effort will be the last of our season since the spring freeze thaw cycle has become too much for our groomers. Since November 30th, the MECCA trail system has been groomed 98 times, with our last groom on March 24th. The Chalet will be open through Sunday, March 26th.

Enjoy one last ski tomorrow morning before temps are above freezing. As ski trails begin to deteriorate, snowshoe trails will remain open and are perfect for a spring adventure.

MECCA Trails thanks all supporters of our unique trail system! See you next season!

Groomer was out tonight renovating the skate lanes. Skating conditions should be very good tomorrow, with fast conditions! Tracks were left in place, rated as good with some icy sections but not bad.

This morning Mecca groomers set tracks and combed the skate lanes. The skate deck will be soft today. Tomorrow morning the skate deck will be renovated and combed and should firm up nicely. Groomers will be out daily for the next few days. Enjoy our fresh snow and spring skiing!

Trails were last groomed on Monday morning. Unfortunately, warmer temps haven’t allowed the trails to properly firm up. The best skiing will be in the morning before temps are above freezing. We’ll report back later this week with any grooming action.

Snowshoe trails are in great condition!

Trails were rolled, groomed, and tracks set on Monday morning after our latest snowfall. Temps on Monday night will drop to the single digits firming up skate lanes and classical tracks. Temps have remained below freezing meaning trails won’t be icy. Skiing should be excellent on Tuesday, enjoy!
