XC Skis are first come, first serve. If you'd like to borrow gear (including skis), please submit your request to the gear library. We only have a few kid sizes, but should have enough adult skis. If we do not have skis that fit you, you'll have to rent them for the day from REI or another vendor.

If the trails at Cabin Creek don't have good snow conditions, we'll go snowshoeing or hiking as a backup.

*Follow the “No Parking” signs. They are very strict and not afraid to ticket. These signs are there to make sure people don’t get stuck in the lot.
