Current Condtions:

We continue to update everyone on the conditions in the park even though we are not open.

This week we finally saw some of those really cold temperatures we’ve been hoping for. Last Thursday the storm moved in and dumped a significant amount of snow but it also brought temperatures in the teens and single digits. Due to the help of our amazing volunteers, we were able to get the entire Park shoveled and really take advantage of the much needed cold weather.

We are finally starting to see some really good ice forming. The tops of our climbs are coming in nicely but the bottoms are still very fragile and need a more solid farming before they are ready to be climbed.

We’re getting close, but the Park is not ready to open yet. Staff will be out doing thorough inspections of each area in the coming days. After these inspections are complete we will be able to make an informed decision and will announce what date we can open the Park. You can expect an email and social media post early next week, so keep checking in. Subscribe if you haven’t already.

Thank you to everyone for sticking in there with us and a HUGE thank you to everyone who showed up to help shovel.
