News from High Point XC Ski Ctr. Monday, January 23, 2012 03:38 AM

The High Point Cross Country Ski Center is CLOSED for skiing and snowshoeing, but plan to reopen Friday 27 Jan. depending on how the weather affects the snow condition through the week.  We received 6" of snow in the storm Saturday.  Trails were groomed for classic skiing ONLY (Scenic View and Cedar Swamp Trails). The forecast is for temperatures in the 40s with rain starting around 1200, noon.  All new intersection signs posts are numbered and placed with trail names, distances, difficulty levels and trail maps.  Please check the "Weather page" for updates on snow conditions and groomed trails and the "Event page" for details on programs and activities.   

Sat. Nov. 20, '10, 9 am - 1 pm, NSP Nordic refresher with Jim Cowell, head of ski patrol. We now have 50+ patrollers at High Point with dual support from Mt. Creek, Hidden Valley, Campgaw, Shawnee, Camelback and Blue Mt.

A special "THANK YOU" goes out to the patrollers and ski instructors (volunteers) that have always helped clear the trails and move into the ski lodge.
