BRORA is a non-profit corporation whose
purpose is to assist and cooperate with local, state and federal
governments in promoting, developing and maintaining outdoor
recreation within the city of Evanston Wyoming, Uinta County, and the
north slope of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
This includes Nordic skiing, mountain biking, hiking, river use and equestrian use of these areas. At present BRORA is actively helping the U.S. Forest Service in maintaining ski trails and yurts in the Lily Lake Ski Area, in addition to coordinating with the Evanston Parks and Recreation District in their maintenance of cross country ski trails located at the Bear River Parkway, the Bear River State Park, Purple Sage Golf Course, and the Aspen Grove Elementary School.
The work days begin at the Lily Lake Trail Head, on the North Slope Road at 10:00 AM. Bring your lunch, water, work gloves, work clothes etc. If the designated work days are not convenient, work day credits can be accrued with independent work days by working on approved projects and proper documentation. Call Mike Kessinich for details.

Current Conditions at Lily Lake There is a SNOTEL located just above Lily Lake. (Near the “CC” on the map) It remotely reports weather conditions there once an hour. Checking this site before you go up will give you an idea of what current conditions are at Lily Lake. This snotel is part of a statewide system that can be accessed here to get a sense of the current conditions in the whole area. BRORA
has also contributed to the installation of a weather station at
Moffat
Peak
south
of the ski area. The unit is being relocated at present and
is not active. It will be relinked when it is operational.
Both of these real time weather stations are important inputs into
the avalanche forecasting work of the Utah
Avalanche Center. The
Lily Lake trail system is in an area of fairly low avalanche
danger, but if you are going to go off the main trails be sure to
check this link. It is a year of very unstable snow pack and high
avalanche danger. BRORA Web Log
