The season typically runs from December through March, depending on snow conditions. We begin grooming as soon as there is adequate snow coverage.

Family membership includes two adults and all dependent children under 19 years of age living in the same household.
Can I get a refund if there’s no snow?
Membership fees support year-round trail maintenance, shelter upkeep, and equipment costs. Refunds are not available, but we appreciate your support of the club regardless of seasonal snow conditions.
Do I need to renew each year?
Yes, memberships are valid for one season only and must be renewed annually.
What if I just want to try it out once?
Perfect! Purchase a day pass for $10 at the trailhead. If you love it (and we think you will!), you can upgrade to a full membership anytime.

Yes! Dogs are permitted on all trails on the north side of the Kane Valley Road. Please keep dogs under control and clean up after them.
