Trail Report Monday March 1st 640pm .
We will be closed tomorrow Tuesday March 2nd but will reopen Wed March 3rd at 9am
Temps are dropping into the low teens tonight and winds will be gusting to up to 35mph.
This means the wet snow on the trails will be frozen solid by the morning.
We are also anticipating some tree damage and a lot of debris on the trails.
It will take most of tomorrow to clean up the trails and groom them back into good skiing condition.
Conditions report will be updated Tuesday evening
Situated in the heart of the Hudson Valley, the ski area is nestled in the 16,000 acre Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park. Fahnestock Winter Park offers 18 km of machine groomed, tracked and mapped trails for beginning and experienced skiers and snowshoers. Families find the park particularly enjoyable because it offers easy terrain to ski on near the lodge. The sledding hill and hot chocolate to sip in front of the outdoor fireplace are nice compliments to day-long trips.
The Park features Concession stand with food, beverages, and restrooms. The Winter Park is located at an elevation of 1,100 feet which helps capture addition snow during storms. Along with a forested northwest trail system, this helps maintain a good snow base. A variety of lodging options are close by. Unfortunately this year due to issues relating to operating in a Covid environment we will be unable to rent ski snowshoe and sledding equipment.
