TRAIL CONDITIONS & Updates

1) The winter freeze-thaw cycle has arrived. 

  • Trails are fragile during these cycles, and after rain events. Please stay off trails during these times so they can dry out, and re-freeze. LEARN MORE.


2) Certain trails in the Slate Valley Trails network are CLOSED TO ALL USERS from  DEC. 15 TO APR. 15 to protect wintering deer. LEARN MORE.

  • Trails currently closed: Lower Birdie, and the lower section of Upper Birdie


3)  User-Updated winter trail conditions on Facebook

  • Snowshoers & xc-skiers- help pack in the green trails & double track trails
  • Share a picture and what loop(s) you packed in on Facebook, and tag #SVTconditions (most recent posts at bottom of this page)


4) VAST Trails

  • Some of our double-track is on the local VAST network. Snowmobiles have the right of way. 
  • For your safety, move to the side of the trail when a snowmobile is approaching. VAST Trails are regularly groomed.
