    Kolapore received yet another 15 cm of snow overnight.  The County Forest parking lot is well plowed.  The main Kolapore parking lot probably won't be plowed until later today.  It was well plowed yesterday, so it might be possible to get in if the snow piled up by the County plow hasn't created a heavy barrier.  There is a lot of snow on the trails - the most in recent memory.  Be prepared to break trail.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    As of 11 AM, both Kolapore parking lots were well plowed and there is no obstruction at the entrance.  We received another 10 cm or so overnight. One skier had been in at both entrances at 11AM.  Skiing should be good if you don't mind breaking trail.  Snow depths are incredible - the Kolapore snow gauge was up to 36" (91 cm) yesterday.   In the several decades that we've had a snow gauge, I don't think I've ever seen it that high before.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Kolapore received about 20 cm of snow in the last 24 hours.  Once again, the issue will be parking.  The main Kolapore parking lot will likely be impassable for much of the day.  The County Forest parking lot is in excellent condition.   Of course, skiers who do make it to the trails will need to be prepared for trail breaking.   Kolapore  Trail Guide

    It's hard to tell how much new snow we've had in the last 24 hours because of drifting, but I would estimate about 15 cm.   The County Forest parking lot was plowed at 10 AM today.  The main Kolapore parking lot probably won't be plowed until later today, if then.  You would be crazy to try to drive into it until after it is plowed.  The official Kolapore snow gauge is probably getting to record levels - it should reach 3/4 metre today.  (A local cross country ski area is reporting that they have received over 5 metres of snow this season.  We haven't received quite as much, but we are not far off.)  Kolapore Trail Guide

    The Kolapore parking lot has been plowed Friday morning

    Kolapore had another 5+ cm overnight. The County Forest parking lot has been thoroughly plowed, and I saw one skier heading in before 9 AM.  There were a few skiers in yesterday, so there will be some tracks.  The main Kolapore parking lot was well plowed, and quite a few skiers went in from the lot today, so the NE trails should be well broken.

    Overnight Kolapore received about 20 cm of new snow.  The County Forest parking lot is well plowed.  A few skiers broke trail from the parking lot.   As of 4:15 the main Kolapore parking lot had not been plowed.  In my last post I mentioned a car break-in (smashed window) that happened on Saturday just south of the County Forest parking lot.  Subsequently I've heard stories about other relatively recent break-ins at local trail heads (including Three Stage).  Don't leave anything valuable visible in your vehicle.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Yesterday afternoon we noticed that the rear window of a car parked on the small road just south of the County Forest parking lot had been smashed.  (They were parked there because the parking lot was full.)  It is likely that this was a "smash and grab".  There were a number of such incidents during 2021 when trail use exploded, but we haven't been aware of them in more recent years.  It is wise to keep any valuables out of sight.  There is 5 cm of new snow - skiing should be great.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Two Kolapore Trail Guides did a long ski this morning, and agreed that the trails are about as good as they get.  Good snow base and most of the wet spots have frozen and are snow covered.  I'm using my good skis, not my rock skis.  The County Forest parking lot is well plowed as usual.  I was in the main Kolapore parking lot yesterday afternoon, and it was snowy (about 10 cm of snow) but usable.  Get out and enjoy.  Kolapore Trail Guide

    Kolapore received about 15 cm of snow in the past 24 hours.  Skiing will be good, although early skiers may need to break trail.  The County Forest parking lot is well plowed.  Parking may be a challenge at the main Kolapore parking lot.  Kolapore Trail Guide
