Bring your own high-quality gear if you are a serious skier, as rental equipment inventory varies.
Check local weather reports specifically for wind chill, as the forest paths can be colder than open city streets.
Ensure your phone is fully charged, as forest trails can be disorienting for those unfamiliar with the loop systems.
Do not attempt to ski on the tracks immediately after heavy snowfall before the grooming machines have passed, as conditions will be overly soft.
The facility is primarily active for skiing during the winter months; trail access for running and cycling is available year-round.
