The groomed Sherwins Meadow Trail is a 1.2 mile out and back, starting from Sherwin Meadows Trailhead. This trail is shared with a variety of users, including over snow vehicles (snowmobiles), Nordic skiers, snowshoers, dog walkers, backcountry skiers and winter fat bikers.

Avalanche Forecast for 11/27/2024
- AVALANCHE FORECAST: Over the past five days, two storms brought periods of heavy snowfall, strong winds, and dangerous avalanche conditions to the region. As the weather settles, avalanches breaking in new and wind-drifted snow will become less likely. Be prepared to assess the recent snow for signs of instability, like cracking underfoot, before venturing into avalanche terrain. We have very limited information about the snowpack at mid and upper elevations. If old snow has formed weak layers near the base of the snowpack, you can expect avalanche conditions to settle more slowly. Find out More
