ELTA News 1-25-2020

Just a quick note to report on conditions: We skied this afternoon (Saturday 1-25) and found an inch of fresh snow and great conditions. Should be good tomorrow too.

Kris notes that there are still a couple of spots available for the ski clinic (both classic and skating) on February 2nd. More information Here

We thought the donation form on the website was up and running, but it turns out that the credit card processor is still checking us out. Should be up in a couple of days. Meanwhile, the PayPal button works just fine.

Thanks and we’ll see you on the trail!

Trail Etiquette Thoughts

A big thank you goes out to our trail users. With continued increase of traffic and a light snow year, keeping the trails in shape has been difficult. It has been great seeing our users respect people and their form of recreation. With skaters staying off the set track, dog owners cleaning up after their dogs, wide ski skiers staying out of the track, foot and snowshoe traffic staying to the side of the trail, skaters have a smooth surface to skate on, diagonal skiers have a quality track, and we all get to be out exercising and enjoying nature on quality trails. Thanks again for respecting the diverse group that use the ELTA trails.
