Snow?
There is another chance for some local snow tonight. However, the temperatures are predicted to quickly rebound into the 50s and 60s, so even if we happened to get enough to groom (unlikely), it wouldn’t be cost effective, melting out before any decent skiing could be done. I’m not seeing any cold, snowy weather beyond this storm through the end of the month.

Our dry CO winter
The above graph show’s our state-wide snowpack (the black line—currently the least snow we’ve gotten since data has been gathered), and below is our percentage of snowfall compared to normal. Woodmoor and most of the state has received half the typical snowfall this winter—although areas west and south of CO are even worse off: There is some hope for more snow after this warm weekend—at least for the mountains; hopefully some will find its way to us. Think snow!

Chance for a little snow this week, more next week
This has been our worst winter for local skiing since we started over a decade ago! Odds are good that our ‘snow-guarantee’ clause will go active as we only have had 6 days of groomed skiing thus far. There is a chance for a trace-2” of snow this week (before temperatures rebound back to above normal), but next week and the rest of February is looking more promising—think snow!

Busted
Woodmoor picked up another light dusting of snow overnight, but it looks like the snowstorm was a bust for us. Nothing worse than cold temperatures but no snow! At least the mountains picked up some decent snow to improve ski conditions up there…..

Storm miss, thus far...
While parts of CO have gotten decent snow out of this storm, Woodmoor has picked up only ~1" by Saturday morning. Much of the new snow appears to have landed North of us. There is a chance for additional snow today and Sunday, but unless we get quite a bit more, we won't be able to groom or re-opening our local ski trails....

Hoping for enough snow to reopen this weekend
We have been watching this inbound storm for a couple of days now. The current local snow prediction is only 3 to 6 inches, but there are still a lot of variables at play, and if we are on the high side of that amount, we hope to be able to roll and groom trails to reopen for the weekend. Fingers crossed and stay tuned—think snow.!

Another dusting of snow—maybe more later this week?
Last night’s storm stayed mostly north of us, although Eldora picked up 8”. Looks like another chance for snow this Friday/weekend—let’s hope it delivers!

Slight dusting of snow, maybe more Monday
Woodmoor picked up a little bit of snow early this morning, but not enough to do anything with. There is a chance for more on Monday, but still no big storms in the forecast that I can see…. February and early March are typically our snowiest months, so fingers crossed!

Trails temporarily CLOSED; lost and found items
It took a little longer than expected for the trails to soften up this morning, but they still skied pretty nice and we had at least half a dozen skiers out there. Trails are now temporarily CLOSED until we get more snow. Also, the below picture reflects the lost and found items that were left in the rental shop over the weekend. I have moved all the items to the lost and found at the fitness center desk, where you would check in to get a day trail pass. If they’re yours, fee

Trails open Monday for experienced skiers until ~ noon, but NO re-groom
I skied all three open ski trails late this afternoon. Although several thin or partially bare spots have developed (pictures below) and many of the classic tracks have melted out, it still skate-skied quite nice! However, we cannot safely re-groom the trails without risking damage to the underlying golf course. I'd recommend more novice skiers wait until the next storm, but the trails will be open in the morning for more experienced skiers/die hards. In many places, the s

January 11 – Sunday Trail Update
After a great day on the trails yesterday, we’re open again today for another beautiful day of skiing. Please note that the classic tracks have melted out, but the trails were freshly groomed this morning and are ready to enjoy — likely the last ski day until we receive more snow. With warmer temperatures expected today, early morning will offer the best conditions . Walk-in rentals will be available until 12:00 PM. Enjoy the day!

A great day for local skiing!
We had a lot of the folks on the trails today--thanks to all who came out! We will re-groom the skate track tomorrow morning, but we won't be able to set any new classic tracks that are better than the ones we set this morning (without new snow). Sunday is supposed to be even warmer than today, so it might be the last day of decent skiing, until the next snow storm; we'll see... We will again have our rental shop staffed with volunteers from 8-12, and although our online rent

Trail Update – January 10
We’re excited for another day of skiing at Woodmoor Nordic today (Saturday 1/10). The same three trails will be open and were re-groomed this morning: Green, Green–Blue, and Blue–Black . With the continued snowfall yesterday, the classic tracks were able to be set along these trails. For the easiest and safest access, please enter the trail system at the Green trail sign across from the upper parking lot. As temperatures warm during the day, a few thin grassy spots may develo

3 of 5 trails groomed and open!
Eric and I just finished rolling all 5 trails, and the final grooming on the 3 open trails: Green, Green-blue, and Blue-black. We attempted to set classic tracks several times, but there just isn’t quite enough snow. Safest trail access is from the upper parking lot, at the Green trail sign. There are a few thin spots, and a couple unprotected cart path crossings, so use care—but I think most of it should set up nicely for skiing today and through the weekend. We will have

Planning to open once storm & grooming is complete
We picked up 5-7" of new snow as of 5am this morning, and it is still snowing. We will be actively rolling and grooming the ski trails this morning (pending the country-club's approval), and assuming all goes well, hope to have at least 3 of our 5 trails open for skiing later today (late morning, or after lunch?). The Blue trail and the Black trail are likely lacking enough snow to be safe to open yet, but hopefully the Green, Green-Blue, and Blue-Black Trails will have suf

More snow forecasted tonight
The snow forecast has increased in the last couple of days, so we are hoping enough snow falls overnight tonight that we can start rolling and grooming trails Friday morning, with a possible opening Friday afternoon after the storm has died down, or more likely, Saturday morning. We expect to have both walk-in and rental reservations via our website available Saturday and Sunday morning if we do indeed get enough snow to reopen our trails. New this year, we are hoping to star

Chance of snow?
There is a chance for snow this Thursday-Friday. However, given the extremely warm temperatures of late, it will take a fair bit to allow us to groom and re-open—we are basically starting from scratch. We’ll see how the storm shakes out. Hopefully cooler weather and more moisture as the winter progresses—this has been an epically bad start to winter across the entire state. Think snow!

Happy New Year!
Well, this is the worst winter snowfall the majority of the state has seen for decades. The meteorologists are predicting a pattern change in early to mid-January, so hopefully we'll see more snow and colder temperatures soon. Until then, we hope you had a wonderful Christmas holidy and enjoy the new year--THINK SNOW! Even our annual holiday hut trip was devoid of snow…

Waiting for snow
Although a few patches of snow can still be found, the country club golf course has melted out enough that they are golfing again—something that hasn’t ever happened in the past 11 years we’ve had local skiing here! Most of the mountain ski resorts are also hurting for snow. We can only hope that winter weather returns to our state soon—think snow!

Chance for Mtn snow
The mountain ski resorts have a chance of snow later this week and into the weekend—which is desperately needed—and we might even see a little locally, although likely not enough to do anything with. Unfortunately, we have unseasonably warm temperatures predicted across the majority of state for another couple weeks, but hopefully we’ll see a weather pattern change towards the end of December. It’s been a strange start to ski season—think snow!
