Current Ski Conditions

Updated: Friday, January 30, 2026

We are currently: OPEN

It's a chilly start to the day, with below zero temps that will struggle to make single digits above zero by midday, and the windchill will be a factor making it feel colder this morning.  The trails are in great shape, with everything groomed and trackset. With stable but cold weather conditions in the 10-day forecast, it looks like we'll have nice skiing well into  February. And I'll have a hard time thinking of original ways to say the skiing is great!

Stay warm and happy skiing!!

P.S. Tomorrow is the Camels Hump Challenge (CHC), a fundraising tradition of more than 40 years for the Alzheimers Association of VT. The participants are limited to about 80 pre-registered skiers (registration is full) who will have raised thousands of dollars for Alzheimers research prior to the start of the event. They will take off from the original location of the ski center at the top of Handy Road, and ski about 25km around Camels Hump and back to the starting point. For more information about the event, check out the Camel's Hump Challenge website.

Happy Skiing!

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.
