Another great night of snowmaking and now we have groomed all the way to the Pony Express trail Junction and down the south side of the Hollow, making for a great loop!! if you come early just be very cautious of the wet slow snow under the guns!!!!! It is easy to feel like Lindsey Vonn and then suddenly have your skis grab and be down for the count! Come enjoy a piece of winter!
Spruces
Yes, it is worth it. Skated late Sunday, and the portions that we worked Friday morning still skated very well. There was no thaw/freeze on Saturday or Sunday and no loss of coverage. Stay on the stuff worked hard on Friday morning and you will find smooth, fast, predictable conditions. Venture off that and you will find lumps, ruts, frozen surfaces, actual ice, some bare pavement and the occasional 10 meter patch of reasonable ski surface. Skiing should be fine on the groomed portions all day Monday. You can piece together a 2K loop. Heck, in the summer US athletes fly half way across the globe to ski 1K in a tunnel. Spruces beats that by a long shot.

THE SHOP IS OPEN 9-5 TODAY. The Magic 8 Ball said “outlook good” when asked about a snowy holiday. Plan accordingly. We went from “day to day” to “no way” in the unseasonable heat. None of our ski trails are currently open and the forecast for the next several days is good for gift shopping, cycling or hiking, not so good for skiing.
It is a great time to pick up your pass, find that perfect gift for your favorite skier and bring in your skis so they’re ready to go when the snow returns! Please be careful out there and have fun! Drop in to the shop and we can commiserate and catch up while we wax your skis and you holiday shop.
Our first TOKO Wax Clinic of the season will be at the Nordic Center on Wednesday December 17th. $10 cover charge will get you started on the basics of wax and skin ski treatment. Discounts on wax and accessories after the clinic and some nice prizes and swag. Bring a friend!
We are renting snowshoes right now and can offer up some advice on places to go. Getting outside is better than not getting outside!
Buying yourself or someone you love a gift of a skiing experience lasts a lifetime and never goes out of style.
Soldier Hollow
Come ski this morning here and you will be welcomed into a little piece of Narnia! With the wonderful cold temperatures the last 2 nights much snow has been made and groups of trees are coated. Then, when you’re winded from going up and down the hill, come in and do your holiday shopping!
Spruces
Hello all, welcome to another winter at Spruces. Wanted to give you an update. Coverage on the Upper and Lower loops is very thin, with many patches of ice and pavement showing, especially on the northern side of the loops. The southern side of the loops is a bit better and colder. Chris was able to groom on the southern side of the Upper Loop, and the rest of the upper and lower loops has been rolled or sled packed. Suitable for some skiing, but it is a bit icy and thin. Please be careful going around and watch out for pavement. We need more snow to be able to groom regularly, and to get over to Jordan Pines. But the trail is still enjoyable. Hope to see you out this winter. Feel free to reach out to me with questions.
Solitude Nordic
We are open with limited terrain! Lake Flat was groomed yesterday and ready to go today for skate and classic. Our lower Redman Loops are also ready for skate and classic. Be aware of thin spots as well as icy and slick spots. The lower trails require about 150-yard boot pack to get to the start. We look forward to seeing you up here! Free parking at the Nordic Center this weekend and parking on the road or Moonbeam requires a reservation and payment.

Don’t forget to put Community Day on your calendar! January 9th, 2026. More info on our website.
Soldier Hollow
Another fine day of skiing will be on at Soldier Hollow today. A full stadium and hollow lap equals 1.5k with impeccable grooming and classic track set. There is full snowmaking going this morning so be cautious of stickier snow where the piles may overlap the grooming. And it still being March in December you can expect the perfect conditions to become wetter in the heat of the afternoon (sunny and high of 54 expected). Mid to late morning has proved to be the best window the past couple of days. Unlike the past four days there won’t be packs of beginner middle school students on the track but we are running a smaller ladies clinic. Please be courteous and share the trail. More info can be found here:
Solitude Nordic

ABSOLUTELY NO SKATING ON THE TRAIL. CLASSIC SKIING ONLY. There will not be a classic track set.
IT CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS LATE SPRING CONDITIONS.
We are trying to save as much snow as we can and skate tracks will cut to the grass and pavements leading to accelerated melting and no skiing for anyone. No other trails are currently open and we are assessing the 3km trail day to day.
Please no walking and no dog walking on the trails. It is a great time to pick up your pass or bring in your skis so they’re ready to go when the deeper snow arrives! It will continue to be extremely warm this week, please work with us to keep the trail open. By midday, please stay off the trail, it’s simply too warm to hold the snow. Please be careful out there and have fun! ~12/10/25 07:48 am
Soldier Hollow
There will be 133 kids skiing on the track from 9-11 this morning, so it might be a less crowded experience to come before or after that time. We are blowing snow up the wazoo! The 1 km out and back is in great shape!
