2020-2021SEASON GROOMING UPDATES:

3/5/21: Groomed

**Please Note: Highlands SnoPark grooming does not occur on a fixed schedule, but instead the Highlands Nordic Ski club does condition responsive grooming. This means that trails are groomed after significant snowfall, and when there is sufficient usage to degrade trail quality. Grooming generally occurs several times a week and sometimes as often as daily during snow cycles. For regular accurate and poetic updates on conditions at Highlands SnoPark, check the state winter recreation website. To have these updates delivered to you directly, email Patti.

Groomer: Highlands Nordic Ski Club

REMEMBER:  Grooming reports are updated when trail grooming information is provided. Reports are posted Monday thru Saturday. No updates on Sundays or holidays.

Schedule is subject to change.
