Operation Updates

Wednesday PM Update: Today’s staff worked hard to clear and prepare for tomorrow's opening, but mechanical difficulties got the better of us, and we are forced to remain closed another day. The good news is that mechanics are on-site and have already trouble-shot a few of the issues. We feel good about reopening on Friday, February 20th. We appreciate your understanding.

Wednesday AM Update: Frankly, “we got pounded yesterday,” and it was a good thing our trails were closed. The snowcat drivers were active, but visibility was limited, and the snow was DEEP. We are closed again today, and staff will be working hard to mitigate snow at the store, shop, parking lot, trailhead, and cafe. Snowcat drivers will get back out there to find the trails and pack them down. While we plan to reopen tomorrow, we may need an additional day. Plus, another round of heavy snow is forecast for tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Tuesday AM Update: The big storm is underway. Our trails and tubing hills will be closed today and tomorrow due to heavy snow (Tue) and snow removal (Wed). This is exciting news as we plan to reopen on Thursday, with significant new snow. Cheers!

Big Presidents Holiday Weekend at BVAC, and even bigger amounts of snow headed our way this week = WAHOO! Today (Monday), operations are proceeding as usual, with cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and tubing. But on Tuesday & Wednesday this week, we will close the trail system and tubing hills due to strong winter storms. During this closure, snowcats will be preparing trails for reopening on Thursday (2/19/26). It’s important to stay out of the meadow during this time, as the snowcat driver's visibility can be limited by blowing snow.
Other BVAC Happenings:
Huge XC Ski Sale with 20% off all cross country ski and snowshoe items, plus 40%-60% off selected skis and boots.
Cross country ski and snowshoe rentals are available, even during our closure, for adventures in the subdivision or Sno-Parks.
The start of this Thursday's Skate & Classic Ski Clinic Series has been postponed until next week (weather permitting).
A few spaces are still available in this Saturday’s Women's Skate Skiing Clinic on 2/21/26.
Earlybird pricing ends this week for the 53rd Annual Bjornloppet Race Weekend on March 7 & 8.
While we are all excited about the fresh snow in the forecast, it’s important to be aware of the potential for deep snow hazards. Below is a video with some helpful safety reminders:
