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.

The MCC crew groomed this morning. Classic Track was set above Elbow Fork. Still to thin below Elbow Fork to set track
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.

Groomed this afternoon. Did not set track from Trailhead to Elbow Fork due to the thin snow pack. Track was set above Elbow Fork.

Storm is being slow to come in. We will return in the afternoon to see if we have picked up more coverage. Course is currently NOT groomed and is extremely thin. Please stay off it this morning. Thanks!

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!

Groomed and set track this evening. From trailhead up to Elbow Fork the snow pack is really thin. While setting track some areas the track went all the way to the asphalt. So be very careful using the classic track.
From Elbow Fork up to Big water snow pack is better and track setting was ideal.
Skating will be excellent the entire trail length but conditions are much softer as you gain elevation.

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.
