Ski Center Status:
5:03 am, Mon, 20 Jan. '20: We will be open for skiing on limited snow cover. We received 3-4" of new snow from the last storm Saturday. The trails were rolled for classic skiing. The colder temperatures that moved in firmed up the powder snow and is making skiing better than yesterday. Noon temperatures are expected to be around 20 F. We still need more snow to make it the best it can be. There is not enough snow for skate skiing. (The trails with a thick layer of wood chip require little snow to ski, and the areas of the trail system with grass should also be acceptable.) We had a lot of happy skiers yesterday, but we are doing the "snow dance". The long range forecast is for more snow next weekend. Thank you for making High Point Cross Country Ski Center your ski destination. The Waxing Wizzard from Swix can assist you with choosing the best wax: http://www.swixsport.com/Wax-Resources/Wax-Wizard, or we will give you tips.

High Point Cross Country Ski Center has been featured on NJ Mom's list of 25 "Totally Unique Valentine’s Day Ideas in New Jersey" this year! Their website is njmom.com.
New this season is an upgraded snow making system that first will cover 2 km of trail and later be extended if Mother Nature does not cooperate, miscellaneous grooming machinery for classic and skate skiing, ski rentals for all ages, and snowshoes for the 8 km Monument (snowshoe) Trail.
On 17 February we will start to offer our rental gear for sale at a range of $150-350 (ski equipment) and $50-150 (snowshoes) depending on models of the boots, skis, poles, and snowshoes. (Ask for Hans)
We put down a lot more wood chips again this summer and fall to be able to operate with minimal amounts of snow. (Save this web page in your favorites to see morning and night trail report updates depending on what "Mother Nature" sends our way.)
