Cross country skiing at Royal Gorge

Royal Gorge

Soda Springs, California, USA

Thank you for a great season! While it was short and sweet (and wet and warm), the skiing was amazing and we were stoked to open as much terrain as we did for as long as we could.  As of 3/28, if you wanted to get out and ski fresh groomed trails, we were the "last trail standing." Thank you to all those who came out and skied Telegraph one last time on Sunday. 

Time to get started on trail maintenance. We'll be servicing our chainsaws and brushsaws in the next couple weeks and will be out on the trail this summer, improving our product for next season. See you out there!

The Van Norden trailhead has closed for the season.

No trails from the trailhead will be groomed. The large volume of running water in the meadow has made conditions unsafe for our groomers and skiers. All snowbridges have collapsed or are unsafe to cross.
