Royal Gorge Cross Country is one of the gems of the Tahoe Sierra, boasting the largest cross-country ski area in North America with eight trail systems across 6,000 acres. As well, the resort is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this season (read the feature in this edition).
Van Norden restoration | The Van Norden Meadow Restoration is underway to return the meadow to its original condition. There is also a new Sheep’s Pen Bridge to keep North/South connectivity through the trail system. This will improve grooming and keep the trails skiable longer into the spring.
Trail improvements | Throughout the summer, crews have cleared debris and deadfall to reduce fire danger in the summer, which will also improve the winter trail conditions.
New rental fleet | There is a new rental fleet this season including Atomic Redster Skis and Boots for both classic and skate.
Lodge improvements | New restrooms have been installed in Summit Station.
