Current Ski Conditions
Updated: Sunday, January 18, 2026
We are currently: OPEN
It's going to get up to the low-to-mid 20s today, with partly sunny skies and calm winds—a very comfortable day for a ski. To top that off, we've had 4"-5" of new snow in the last few days, and that has been on a consistent base, especially on our upper trails. We've had multiple requests to leave those upper trails ungroomed for today so there is some silky snow to push around up there. One skier sent us a note saying that Lion's Ridge yesterday was "incredible".
We will be grooming the dog loop (Skunk Brook to Dead River Run to Bear Scat (or reverse). Just a reminder to dog owners: please don't take your dog off the designated Dog Loop, and please keep track of what your dog is up to and carry out what your dog leaves behind. It's worth remembering that we have some landowners who, for various reasons, are not happy with dogs coming through their property, so the limits of the Dog Loop are important to us.
Another reminder—we have a bunch of new Camels Hump Nordic t-shirts in the hut that can be had for $25. We don't do shipping, so it's first come, first served at the hut.
Happy Skiing!
Dave Brautigam, President emeritus
Camel's Hump Nordic
Dog Policy:
DOGS ARE WELCOME ONLY WITH CANINE SEASON MEMBERSHIP. Please remember to keep your dogs under control at all times, have pooper scoopers ready for use, and only take dogs on the dedicated dog loop.
And as a reminder, season pass purchases cushion our financial situation when the snow is fickle, and the Camel's Hump Nordic season pass is as good a bargain as you'll find out there. Camel's Hump Nordic is a participant in the VSAA reciprocal pass program that gets you a free day of skiing at other areas when you have a season pass at Camel's Hump Nordic. You can purchase your season pass here.
Note: Adults (ages 13-69) can pay the $15 trail fee online! There is usually wi-fi at the hut so that you can Scan-Pay-Ski by scanning the QR code at the Kiosk with your smartphone. We accept Paypal, Venmo, and Apple Pay for online payments!
You'll receive timely conditions updates and be able to join in the online discussions with other skiers.
