- Take the snowshoe loop. PLEASE stay off the ski loops. Do not ride on or in the classic tracks.
- Wide tires 3.8″ or wider.
- Important: TIRE PRESSURE – based on current conditions use 4 PSI. Your sidewalls should wrinkle like a funny-car tire.
- If you’re leaving ruts its too soft to ride.
- Yield to all other users when riding.
- Meissner Nordic helped us get our trails please help ease trail conflicts and stay off the groomed Nordic trails.

- A Sno-Park Permit is required when parking in any Oregon State Sno-Park between November 1 and April 30. Pick one up at Pine Mountain or Sunnyside.
Snowmobile Trails:
- Its is difficult for snowmobile riders to see you. You will hear them way before they see you pull over and let them pass.

Rode it the morning of Feb 2 and it’s really in excellent condition considering. Swoops was freshly groomed and riding well, too! Still need to be careful of thin-crust areas and hidden postholes, as always.
Beautiful to ride morning of Jan 9 (Sunday). Definitely needs a gentle touch in places so it’s in great condition for taking it easy and enjoying the volcano views. Swoops has not been groomed since the storm. Gary tells me it was an 8 hour day just getting the main loops back.
Toss a coin to your groomers, they’re doing amazing work.
Another Gary Meyer in-the-wild, on-a bike-sighting. Dusting of fresh snow on firm and smooth groomed snow. Conditions were pretty perfect. Didn’t notice ice. But I’d be mindful of it in the typical locations.
So this is technically ridable but you want LOW PSI (like 3 or lower) and ride delicately… that being said, it was great fun! A few people have been on it with too much air and left the some divots on the east (far) end but it’s 80% gorgeous. Just… delicate.
Thank you so much groomers for your work. Trail is in exceptionally rideable condition given how much new snow we’ve received. So if you see this and are wondering if it’s worth going out on Thursday morning, by all means yes. It will all likely get buried tomorrow night.
Firm fast and flowy. Enjoyed seeing Gary Meyer in the wild, on a bike and not grooming. Thanks!
Inch or two of fresh on firm base. Swoops has drifted unridable snow for about 30′. The rest was soft but two bikes, two loops, ridden in decently.
Was riding great this morning. Snow was accumulating but enough riders circling it kept getting ridden in. SWOOPS aka WOFGB was lost in drifted snow.
Great job groomers! Was riding really well this morning. The extra snow has given the trails more cushion but they’re also a bit slidier. Definitely air down those tires to 3 PSI or less, and be gentle on the corners.
1” fresh on gorgeous base. Perfect.
Riding really well today! 3 PSI for 3 PSI is the sweet spot.
Just got off 3PSI. A couple was coming off it as we started (3 of us). So followed their tracks as it snowed a wet snow. But rideable! If temps keep lowering maybe could ride it this aft, but if not it will be too heavy of snow my guess. — Oops clicked wrong reply button so this is not chronological.
Met a guy out here who said “this is a postcard day!” and I think that’s about the sum of it. Great riding!
Thanks Groom Crew! Very well packed. No ice.
3 PSI was perfect today. Thanks Groom Crew!
WOOHOO! What fun it is to ride again!
3-PSI is still under DEEP SNOW
Winter Storm!
White out conditions at Wanoga.
3-PSI is gone until this storm passes.
Expect VERY soft conditions and deep drifts on Outer Loop

Steve groomed both loops.
I’ll hit it again tomorrow.
Was perfect this morning. Firmly packed tread. Light dust of powder on top.
12/27/2018
Packed and riding well
3/9/2018
Freshly groomed.
May be the last time we groom unless we get more snow.
Trails were great in the morning!
3/7/2018 Outer loop and 3-PSI were ripping fast this morning. When the sun burns through it will get soft.
Trails did not set well and are soft
