Jan 22nd:
Cross-Country Skiing
Snow base is very low in the Ribbon Creek area with one or two cms new snow over a firm and bumpy base, and in some areas no base, making for marginal conditions and challenging skiing.
Please note that Ribbon Creek parking lot and some trails in the area are closed for prescribed fire guard work.
Fat Biking
Some single track trails such as Big Kidd and Little Kidd have low snow with some hazards present, but in general still offer fair conditions. Though not usually encouraged, with the low and firm snow base and no active grooming on cross-country ski trails, fat tire bike use on these trails is ideal at the moment. Be aware of some trail closures in the Ribbon Creek area. Upper Ribbon Creek trail can still be reached via Link or Shinrin trail.
Snowshoeing
Snow is not sufficient to enjoy this activity.
Winter Hiking
Trails will be a mix of packed snow and frozen dirt with ice patches. Spikes are recommended. Snow covered trails will exist at higher elevations.
At anytime come prepared for a variety of conditions, that can change throughout the day.
Be aware of closures in the area and check advisories before you go.
