Just the Facts
We have launched Just the Facts, a monthly Q&A about a key community topic. Our goal is to not only provide you with current, factual information, but spotlight our extraordinary, dedicated staff. This will be placed on the Community Corner page at eaglevail.org, and noticed via official EagleVail Metro District communication channels. Our goal is to address a key topic factually and proactively to better improve our ability to be in front of community questions. Please see below for November 2025's Just the Facts.

Q: When the snow flies, what are plans for Nordic skiing this winter?
A: Superintendent Brent Barnum and team will begin to pack down and groom the Nordic tracks as soon as conditions allow. Last winter, additional Nordic skiing-only tracks on hole 1 and the practice area were implemented. This additional track was added to the Nordic skiing-only track on holes 2 and 6 from the season before. This season, the team will add an additional kilometer on holes 18 and 16 up the draw. This will bring the total Nordic skiing-only tracks to 4 kilometers. The partnership with the HPS Nordic Club will resume, as well, grooming track for them to help hone their skills.
