Ski Center Status:
7:13 am, Tuesday, 29 Dec. '20: It rained, and we lost most of the snow. We wish the 10-day forecast was looking better. Stay tuned for updates. We are stopping online reservations until further notice due to overwhelming number of customers siging up daily during the pendamic and unpredictable weather causing rebooking and refunds. We are going back to "first come first serve". The operation will be out of a new ski lodge (Interpretive/Nature Center) this season. The floor space is increased six times compared to the old ski lodge we used for the last 25 years. Parking next to the lodge is for 80 cars, and overflow is in the old lot for an additional 160 cars. Increased lodge space is critical for a safer environment during check in for trail passes, rental equipment, or lessons. 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, and keep 6' social distancing. Bring a backpack to store your footwear while renting equipment to save a trip back to the car for storage and to enjoy snacks while on the trails. Season passes are good for the following year any time our season falls short of 30 days of operation. We are open for night skiing on Wednesdays. Thank you for making High Point Cross Country Ski Center your ski destination, and feel free to share any of your favorite photos by emailing <hpk@warwick.net>.

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