update 22.2.2023 After a significant thaw there is currently between 10 and 30cm of snow on the trails (more in the upper parts). Some trails, e.g. near Krásná Máří or meadows on Jizerka are no longer passable. Please be careful on the trails, we recommend older skis for safety. We are expecting more snow and frost this weekend, hopefully the real winter will return.

update 1.2.2023 We have another big snowfall, currently there is over 30 cm of snow on the tracks. We expect more snow in the next few days. In the morning hours the tracks were adjusted, due to heavy snowfall and strong winds the tracks are already snowed in places. On the positive side, there is already enough snow so there is no risk of scuffing your skis. Current reviews of ski enthusiasts from the page Kam za sněhem: here
update 25.1.2023 After the weekend snowfall, it is finally possible to ski again! The trails are groomed. The current snow height is about 16 cm, but it may vary in different places. For example, on Jezdecká sometimes the edges of stones are peeking out of the snow, on Promenádní sometimes spruces or blueberries are in the track. So be careful and take older skis.

update 25.12.2022 Temperatures are still up to five degrees above zero. A lot of snow has melted after heavy rain. Meadows are almost snow-free. However, snow is still sticking around in the woods. Conditions are a little worse in the first half of the Promenádní towards the Kiosk, but better in the second half. The Jezdecká path or towards Smědava is also in good condition on the whole. However, older skis are recommended. Current grooming on Bilé stopy: here
update 21.12.2022 Temperatures are just above zero. There is plenty of snow, but it is icy. We recommend extra caution when travelling to Jizerka by car. Current grooming on Bilé stopy: here

update 3.4.2022 Although it doesn’t look like it according to the calendar, winter is not over yet! The height of snow on Jizerka is around 30 cm and the tracks are freshly groomed. However, watch out for twisted spots here and there. However, the skiing experience is still excellent!
update 3.3.2022 The tracks are currently in great condition, we still have plenty of snow! The snow height is between 79 – 111 cm. The conditions for skiing are also perfect thanks to the fact that there are many sunny days.
update 16.2.2022 This morning more than 200 km of routes have been adjusted. The snow level is between 70 – 100 cm. We are currently expecting a slight warming.
update 2.2.2022 Last week brought a significant snowfall, so currently the snow height in the Jizera Mountains is between 70 and 100 cm. The trails are groomed, so conditions are perfect, just watch out for strong winds.
update 23.1.2022 The current snow height is between 40 and 55 cm. The conditions for cross-country skiing are perfect, the tracks are freshly groomed.
update 18.1.2022 Conditions are very good after yesterday’s snowfall. More than 200 km of trails are currently groomed.
update 12.1.2022 There is about 30 cm of snow, the tracks are nicely rutted. Ideal conditions for cross-country skiing.
update 6.1.2022 Yesterday about 12 cm of snow fell. The tracks are so far modified only from people. It froze pretty good overnight and we are looking at more snow today.
update 29.12. The ski tracks are groomed and the condition for skiing is good as far as possible. Tomorrow morning it will still be fine and then probably the deluge will come.
update 18.12.: The snow height has decreased significantly, but it is still good on the trails Promenádní and Jezdecká. Be careful from “U bunkru” down towards the Panský dům, there are already a few spots without snow, and we don’t recommend going down from Mořina under the wires. The snow is very frozen, be careful.
update 8.12.: Cross-country skiing trails are groomed. Current snow height is about 28 cm.Almost the entire route of the Jizerska 50 is ready, except for the part around Olivetská hora. The snow is slightly dull and the descents are slower, which is certainly not a problem at the beginning of the season .
Recommendation for classic skiers: be careful in the trail on Promenádní, in the direction from Kiosk to Jizerka, due to the smaller snow cover sometimes the tops of small spruces are peeking in the trail, so be careful not to ruin your skis .
update 3.12.: Another 10 cm fell, there is enough snow, we are waiting for the snowcat to set tracks.
The long-awaited snow is here and the first skiers are already setting off. For sure, we recommend older skis. The current height of the snow is about 10 cm.
