π¬οΈβοΈ Trail Conditions Update Mar 1 2026 -Bob Stirling XC Ski & Bike Trail
The recent wind and flash freeze have taken a toll on the trail. I was out yesterday to check conditions, and the downhill sections are quite icy, fast, and challenging in spots. Thereβs also a fair amount of tree debris on the trail, which is causing skis to stick in places β so please use extra caution.
If youβre not comfortable skiing in firm, fast, or icy terrain, we strongly recommend bringing or renting snowshoes for the event.
Safety comes first! We want everyone to have a great β and safe β evening out there enjoying the moonlight. π
