Hyak Sledding Hill:

The hill is now closed for the remainder of the season due to lack of snow.

Our season is winding down. As of today, grooming is still all on schedule until Monday March 31st.

Last grooming for Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail, Hyak and Crystal Springs will be Monday morning. 

​

Cabin Creek will see last grooming on Monday also, but time is dependent on conditions and what the groomer decides at the time.

​

There are bare spots here and there and water flowing in the usual places, but there is still plenty of good spring skiing to be found.

​

Sno-Park clean up day is Saturday May 17th.  Details coming a bit later.

​

2024 - 2025 season is here!  Time to be prepared and purchase your Sno-Park permit. Button just above will take you with one click to the State Parks

website for purchasing. Super simple. For those of you who have purchased a permit in previous years will notice it is the same easy peasy process.

Tickets can also be purchased up on the pass at Hyak Sno-Park info booth or by the restrooms, USFS Visitor Center (old Firehouse), and at Crystal Springs entrance using the kiosk. It is always best to purchase in advance at a vendor close to you.
