Wondering where to ski at Brunello?
It looks like Brunello will be the best area for skiing this weekend. If you have not skied Brunello yet, here is an overview of where to ski and tips for enjoying your time. The staff at Brunello are very helpful and if you check in with the Pro Shop they can point you in the direction of the trails: Cart Path, the Driving Range or the Snow Loop. They also rent skate skis and snow shoes if you are looking for either.
- This weekend it will likely only be the Snow Loop, the 250-300 meters where we have artificial snow. Feedback was that it had too many bumps last weekend so we are in the process of flattening it out for Saturday.
Beginners: It is recommended that beginners stick to the flat surface on the Range or the Snow Bowl
Advanced: Brunello has an extensive system of cart-paths that cover the 18 hole golf course. The area we groom depends on the snow we receive. This trail is groomed for skate skiing, but check conditions before you ski as the path can be treacherous if icy or bare spots. The Cart Path Trail starts at the upper left of the parking lot, opposite the Golf Pro Shop. Follow the one-way/ do-not-enter signs and always stay on the groomed trails. Please don’t cut across the fairways at
any
point. We are Brunello’s guests and want to avoid any damage to their greens, fairways or tee-boxes.
See the trail map below for details (distances approximate). The distances in the circles is the distance of the loop around the circle. The green dot is the start at the parking lot. Two bridges take you over the Parkway for optional loops – one after 1K for the 2.1K orange loop and another after about 8K for the 1.1K grey loop. The grey loop is the only loop with a challenging and steep climb and descent, so you may want to avoid that loop unless you like living on ‘the edge’. The entire trail system is approx. 10K, but there are options for shorter skis: 2.6km if you don’t cross the bridge to do the orange loop; 4.7km back to the Pro Shop, if you do that loop.
A reminder to all of our skiers, be sure to stay on the areas that are cleared for skiing as we do not want to damage the fairways and greens.
- Do not ski where there is no grooming.
- Do not ski in fresh or untracked snow, ski only where there is grooming.
- If the cart paths are not skiable do not ski beside them.
- Do not set a classic track in fresh snow.
- In low snow conditions stick to the range or the snow bowl.
We are guests at Brunello and they are awesome and inviting hosts but do need to protect their fairways.
