Teacup Lake Nordic Snow Park Application

The Teacup Lake Snow Park located near Hood River Oregon, is a US Forest Service park with year around use, such as, hiking, biking, skiing and snow shoeing, to name a few.  The area features 20 km of groomed back country trails for both classic and skate skiing.  The Teacup Lake Nordic Club grooms the trails three days per week from December 1 through March 31 as well as maintaining the facilities, organizing cross country races and events.
The Teacup Lake Nordic Application was designed to provide accurate up-to-date information to the park users which would allow them to make decisions about where and when to use the park, determine distances or conditions of trails, current weather, detailed trail terrain map and Google map locations.
