41 degrees when we started grooming at 6pm Thursday evening. All open trails groomed for skate only with good results. Classic track is in place and is decent in some areas and poor in others. Trails currently open are Main, Mitten, Kids Cutoff, Park Bypass, Boomerang, Wiggle and Lollipop. Creek Loop and Lower are closed for now. Unusually warm for early to mid-February, so best to plan like it is March skiing. Tracks might be frighteningly firm early, ideal from about 9a to 11a, passible from 11a to 1p, and then soft soft soft. Same will hold true all weekend. Plan accordingly.

Thursday evening update and weekend planner. As of the end of daylight Thursday, all of Main, Mitten, Lollipop, Kids Cutoff, Bypass, Wiggle Room and Boomerang were still fully in play. Unusually warm for early to mid-February, so best to plan like it is March skiing. Tracks might be frighteningly firm before 9a, ideal from about 10a to noon, passible from noon to 2p, and then soft soft soft. Same will hold true all weekend. Plan accordingly.

We are in a freeze / thaw cycle which is making grooming difficult; our cold January weather has departed! No grooming since last week but the snow depth is very good and the skate lane is holding up. The classic skiing will deteriorate as the sun continues to slowly erode the tracks.
I anticipate the skating should be good mid morning til noon or so. Let it soften a bit and ski only until you are leaving light tracks. In other words, PLEASE DO NOT SKATE IN THIS WEATHER PATTERN IF YOU ARE LEAVING DEEP TRACKS.
And let’s hope for some new snow soon!
Mountain Dell
All trails with the exception of the lower below Cullen’s Cutoff groomed last night for skate. Classic was reset in most areas. Conditions are remarkably good despite the lack of fresh snow. The course will soften during the day due to the warming temperatures. Get outside and enjoy!
Jeremy Ranch
The lower track has been groomed for skate and a classic lane is set. The upper track is groomed for skate and in great shape. Classic lane is in good condition in most areas. Skate trails are firm and fast. Both tracks should soften up throughout the day. Enjoy the skiing!

Full time spring continues.. Coverage is still pretty good considering we are nearly two months since the last snowfall. Very warm afternoon temperatures have been slushing up the track in sun exposed places. Expect spring conditions with cold snow in the shadows and surface melting in the sun. Skiing should be best before 3pm for sure. All trails groomed and open for your adventures. We still highly recommend wearing a mask while indoors at the Nordic Center. Help us and our families stay healthy.

repeat…. how about some new snow in 2022? Beautiful spring conditions, all trails groomed and open, classic is getting scrubbed out in places with patches of slush appearing in the afternoon. Please help us stay open and healthy by wearing your mask indoors at the nordic center. We respond poorly to hostility and warmly to you thanking us for being safe.

Spring skiing continues… Not as cold overnight, but a rather intense warming trend showing up later today. All trails groomed and open and coverage is still 100%. We’ll see how long that lasts with afternoon temps rising all week. Skiing has been incredibly good. We’ll see a little melting in the afternoon and glazing when the sun goes down so ski aware. Please help us and be a good example to visitors by wearing your mask when indoors at the Nordic Center.
If you’ve been poaching the farm all season, let’s put some cash into that fee box. Karma and all.
Ski safe and we’ll see you on the trails!
