Preseason Skiing Information

A perk for season pass holders

When conditions allow, Crosscut welcomes season pass holders for preseason skiing. Whether and when we can open for preseason skiing varies year-to-year and is dependent on weather and snow conditions.

 

December 8, 2023 Update:

A beloved perk of being a season pass holder is the opportunity to ski prior to the beginning of the season when conditions allow. Please carefully review the information below and enjoy your time on the trails.

  • Season pass holders are welcome to ski.

  • We look forward to welcoming non-season pass holders once we open our winter operations. Purchase your season pass to take advantage of preseason skiing.

  • Our opening date has not yet been set and will be condition and staffing dependent.

  • Please park in Lot A near the Nordic Center until we open for the season.

  • Always ski with and scan your season pass!


Trails are Open Only to Skiers

  • Dogs are not allowed on the trails at this time. We look forward to welcoming well-behaved dogs once we open for Dog Days which will be after opening day. Learn more about Dog Days.

  • Walking, hiking, and trail running is not permitted. Olsen Creek, 2 miles to the south of CMSC, and South Fork of Brackett, Creek 2 mile to the north, offer excellent opportunities for those interested in these activities.


Preseason Operations Do Not Include Services or Regular Grooming

  • The Nordic Center building is closed, and no services will be available until opening day. No incident response or emergency services are available until opening day. Please come prepared for a safe, self-supported outing.

  • Please note that regular grooming operations have not yet commenced, and the grooming report will not be updated. Trail and skiing quality is dependent on weather conditions. Unfortunately, we cannot make any guarantees as to the quality of preseason conditions.


Ski with Caution

  • Trail hazards that could damage ski equipment or cause injury may be present under the thin base of snow.

  • Conditions may change dramatically from day-to-day and week-to-week, please use your best judgement about when to visit.

  • Our team is working to prepare for the season so please be aware that grooming and other trail equipment may be on the trails at any time of day. In addition, you may encounter missing and/or out-of-date signage. Please be patient will us as we work to ensure a fantastic winter season for all.
