Nevada Nordic has started grooming its free trail system on Mount Rose using its new snowcat, named Clearapathra.
The volunteer-run nonprofit grooms trails in the Mount Rose area off Highway 431 outside Incline Village, Nev., and at Spooner Lake State Park on the East Shore.
Find a list of local ski resort opening dates.
The trails are open to all uses – skate skiing, classic skiing, snowshoeing and fat biking:
- snowshoe off to the side of the groomed trails
- skate in the middle
- stride in the tracks
Donations from trail users support the group’s efforts and may be made at nevadanordic.networkforgood.com.
Grooming updates | Trail maps and grooming reports are available on the website and through the Nordic Pulse app.
Mount Rose | Trails are operated at Tahoe Meadows near the Mount Rose summit off Highway 431 with 20km of groomed skating and striding on 11 trails, including grooming up to Chickadee Ridge. The Lower Loops are closed in February to protect Goshawk breeding area.
There are three free parking areas available for trail users along Highway 431. View the trail map online to see parking areas and instructions. Dogs are allowed on the trails, but owners must pack out all dog waste.
