Sleepy Hollow’s Snow Conditions

​SNOW CONDITIONS:
Latest Update: 1/25/25  6:55AM

2″ new snow yesterday, which was a bit of a happy surprise for us.  This new snow was just what we needed, with a fluffy refresh to improve the surface conditions on our natural snow trails.   The best skiing today is on the 2.5km snowmaking loop where the Prinoth works it’s magic.  Tracks are set nice and deep.  20km open on our natural snow trails as well, with Ridge road back Bear Claw, and Liberty Meadow back Lower Saddle skiing well (9/10) and tracks are set.  Hinesburg Hill loop is open and is skiing well in most the way around.  Though use some caution on natural snow trails as a few dirt patches are still present in their usual spots.  Also there are some new snow tunnels and snow piles to explore in the fun park! 

Head’s up! We’ve got a wedding this weekend, so the dining room area will be closed to the public through noon on Sunday.  The ski shop and basement changing room are open as normal.  

The ski shop is open 7 days a week 9am-5pm, with night skiing open as well Mon, Wed, and Fri dusk until 8:30PM.  

The Skirack Wednesday Night Worlds is on for this week.   Come out for the fun racing (or even just the potluck)  Sign ups for this week and results from this past week is HERE.   

Here is our Team Training Times spreadsheet for the season.  Teams fill in their team training plans, and the general public can get a good idea of how busy it will be (especially when we’re open on limited terrain).

Eli’s 10-point Rock Skiing Scale:

  • 10: Should have used my race skis.

  • 9: Very nice skiing, but will see the occasional rock or icy patch.

  • 8: Very good skiing. There may be some bumps, rocks, ice or grassy spots to watch out for, especially on corners.

  • 7: Not too shabby. You might think it’s an 8, but then you snag a rock and fall on your face. It’s a 7.

  • 6: You’re out there thinking is this a 5 or a 6? Then the sun comes out. It’s a 6.

  • 5: Halfway decent skiing…. Still some rocks, grass, ice, or wet spots, but well worth the effort to get out the door.

  • 4: Meh.

  • 3: Fairly bad skiing. May be occasional patches of good skiing, but in general quite rocky, grassy, wet or icy.

  • 2: Pretty bad skiing… Not for beginners, use your most banged up rock skis…. Better than running, barely.

  • 1. I should have gone running
