Ski Center Status:
8:43 am, Tuesday, 25 Nov. '20: We have made some improvements to the trail on the west side of Lake Marcia and will be grooming that 0.5 km of trail for skiing going forward. The operation will be out of the new ski lodge that increased the floor space six times compared to the old ski lodge used for the last 25 seasons. Parking next to the lodge is for 80 cars and overflow is to the old lot for additional 160 cars. Additional lodge space is critical for a safer environment during the pandemic and social distancing. Please read all signs and follow directions. We ask all our customers to limit their stay in the lodge on weekends and holidays to 30 minutes or less wether it is sitting at a table or by the fireplace due to State guidelines limiting indoor capacity. Bring a backpack to store your footwear while renting equipment, save a trip back to the car for storage, and to bring snacks while on the trails. New snowguns have been purchased, and we are finishing up the electric connections for the water pumps. To start out we plan to make snow in a hollow section of the trail system with woods and hills all around to shield from the winds on a 1.55 km loop located between the Monument Rd. and the first gate going to Cedar Swamp. More dependable snow may encourage skiers to obtain season passes. Any time our season fall short of 30 days of operation the season pass is good for the following year. Plans are to make snow any time Mother Nature cooperates after Thanksgiving. Stay tuned for updates. Online reservations are now available for trail passes, rentals, and lessons to save you time checking in at the lodge. Thank you for making High Point Cross Country Ski Center your ski destination and feel free to share any of your favorite photos.

We put down a lot more wood chips again this summer and fall to be able to operate with minimal amounts of snow.
