Trail Outlook
Calm, cold, and sunny through Saturday with a chance of wind and snow on Sunday. Soils on the mountain are very wet right now and the warm days and cold nights are likely to continue to feed water into the trails. Any trailhead that is not paved is a bog right now and not expected to improve by the end of the weekend. There is plenty of powder over packed and groomed trails around Tahoe Meadows and Chickadee Ridge. If you head up to use the groomed trails, please stay right on the trails so that cross country skiers can enjoy the routes they have fundraised and volunteered to have up there. There is also enough snow that snowshoeing and fatbike riding in the Galena trail network is epic right now. Reports are that snowbound sections of the Steamboat Ditch trail are also packed enough for fatbikes and running. Enjoy the winter wonderland and if you hit the resorts smile and waive to your fellow local as you both enjoy not being on holiday blackout anymore.
If you are swapping the running and riding for a little back country sliding, check out the latest avalanche conditions over at Sierra Avalanche Center. The snowpack is diverse and conditions are location dependent. Knowing where to look can make the difference of coming home.
If you get out, let us know what you saw by submitting a trail report.
Be kind, be safe, and enjoy.
January 26, 2023 Conditions. Snow or very wet mud expected across the Peavine Trail network.
