Mountain Dell
Just finishing some work on Main. Good skate surface, acceptable classic. Other loops not recommended. Sunny and nice for an afternoon ski.
Spruces
Spruces rolled this morning by Pete. There was a trace to 1 inch overnight, and Pete reports primo conditions. No classic tracks, but silky conditions this morning for striding.
Mountain Dell
Tuesday night storm didn’t produce. Very thin and firm conditions, with some bare spots. If you choose to ski, rock skis and caution advised.
Mountain Dell
Steve and Leigh worked the new snow this morning. For now, Main, Mitten and Kids’ Cut-off, skate and classic. Some grass showing, so rock skis recommended. Soft conditions until it gets groomed a few more times.
Mountain Dell
On hold until Friday morning. As of Tuesday afternoon, too thin to groom without doing damage. Here’s hoping the forecast proves to be a bit more accurate for Thursday’s storm.
Spruces
Groomed this morning. Skate and some marginal classic. Rock skis for certain. Soft conditions, thin in places, and some poor bonding over some pavement areas. Forceful skate steps and snowplow will psh down to pavement in places, but you should be able to see it coming. Enjoy!
Mountain Dell
Opening Monday. We have started sledpacking , but coverage is thin, so if you try to ski Sunday, you will put skis on grass or pavement. More snow coming Sunday night and most of the day Monday. If you do choose to ski Monday, expect soft conditions and machinery on course almost all day. Looking forward to seeing all of you on snow at Mountain Dell again!

Forest Service is considering sledpacking today, but it will be snowing all day, so expect soft and choppy conditions no matter when you ski. Should still be fun in wider classic skis, as the surface underneath is solid. Skate will be a chore.
Mountain Dell
Not yet, but it is a step in the right direction. We will be closely monitoring the snowfall and will open a limited loop as soon as it is possible. The forecast looks moderately positive for a few inches on a few days this week, but we are starting from scratch.
