NEWS

In summer, 2024, a 1-in-300 year rain event damaged the bridges round Flathorn Lake. Two bridges cannot be used for skiing in their current condition. Since Flathorn Lake is the only access point to the ski trails, the Friends of Flathorn-Gegoka ski trails worked feverishly with the U.S. National Forest Service to establish a new access point on Jensen Road. Through the summer and autumn, we obtained the necessary permissions, lined up contractors, cleared an area for parking, and completed improvements on Jensen Trail from Highway 1 to the new access point parking area. The trail was completed a couple weeks before the first snow and has been used by exuberant skiers since the first snowfall (see trail conditions).

The photos above show the improved portion of Jensen Road from Highway 1 to the new ski access parking area, and the trails right off the parking area.
