No water in warming hut we visited but glad to see snow in the Sierras so who is complaining Not all the trails open yet.

On a whim we did a day of cross country skiing in the midst of a week where we stayed at Squaw (and did a lot of downhill skiing). One of the smartest things I've done recently I think. Really great people at the main Royal Gorge lodge (Summit lodge?), nice rental gear, and an excellent instructor got us refreshed after some years of not doing this. It's amazing how cheap a day of playing at the xc ski area is compared to any of the downhill areas. Was not crowded, with miles and miles of nicely groomed trails.

Royal Gorge is doing the very best it can with virtually no snow. The staff is super friendly.

My family just spent a week at Serene Lake, where we rented a house and enjoyed the Royal Gorge area. There are two win lakes which are great for kayaking and canoeing (only one is a swimming lake, as the other is for drinking water). There is a home owner's beach for kids to play on the sand, which people who rent houses also have acces too. And, there are tons of hiking trails through Royal Gorge as well as a safe neighborhood with streets for kids to ride their bikes. It was a great place to be "unplugged" for our family - just wake up each morning and decide what to do. For the adventuresome, Truckee and Lak Donner are just a short drive away. Our only disappointment was that Ice Lakes Lodge was closed - but we are keeping fingers crossed it will reopen once the details of the recent sale have been worked out. Highly recommend as both a summer and winter destination.

It is great to see that Royal Gorge is now being managed well and that it still exists. I have been cross country skiing here for over 20 years and love the huge area to ski. Yesterday I skied on trails that I had never yet traversed. After a great three hour ski it is enjoyable to hang out in the Summit Station lodge for some tasty soup. Staff are helpful and friendly. When I was there many of the trails were not yet open due to not enough snow, but staff were ready to help me map out a route for my day. I do wish that the Wilderness Lodge would reopen since the fire and that the cafe would serve food again on the deck as there is nothing like skiing and having a sunny lunch down at the Wilderness Lodge.

i use to work here and love to ski. the place has new people that a running it. At one time it was open all the time and good grooming, over the past 6 years lots has change. This here a new Manager has taken the place over, I'm sure that she will do a good job and with some luck will restore it.

My friend and I took an introductory cross country lesson. We had taken one other lesson on this trip. It was my second time on skis of any kind and I felt so much improved with another lesson. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. The lesson was well worth the extra money. Once you pay for the rental and day pass it's only about another $10 to join in on the daily lessons at posted times on their website, which was about 1 1/2 hours. We then took off on the green marked trails for about an hour. My friend also traded in her skis for snow shoes since she wanted to try those out as well and they didn't charge her for the trade. Being around the more experienced skiers felt intimidating at first, but they were friendly and made you feel at ease. There are options for eating and accommodations nearby. We stayed in South Lake Tahoe, but the drive was not bad and pretty.

We used to ski at Royal Gorge frequently when we lived in California and this is the first time we have been back in over 10 years. During this time, natural disasters (fire) and financial difficulties took their toll. The resort, boasting the largest groomed cross country track system in North America, was recently purchased by a neighboring downhill ski resort. The people working there were all very friendly and accommodating. The trails were about as we'll maintained as you might expect for spring ski conditions and the lodge itself seemed to be in reasonable condition. We were saddened to learn that Wilderness Lodge was destroyed in a fire as we had spent many weekends there with our daughters - hopefully they will rebuild. We rated value lower because we have become used to paying a very nominal fee for trail passes where we live now and it was just a bit of a sticker shock to us! Enjoyed returning to a favorite place.

The mountains, the trees, the canyons... All make for amazing views while enjoying cross country skiing. The area is gorgeous; it makes it feel like no workout at all - just an enjoyable trip through the forest. Staff is always great. The rentals are top quality. The lessons are a great value and really help.

First of all, a huge resort with a wide variety of terrain. the largest in North America, they say.I've been going to Royal Gorge for 15 years and seen its ups and downs. The latest seems to me a big up from the past few years. It's open 7 days, and they groom a lot of trails (150km or so right now). It's a real pleasure to go out for a few hours on the incredible variety of trails. It's great to be able to go there in the middle of the week now (the past few years it was closed then).
