White Pine

Cold overnight, a beautiful sunrise and a chance of a few flurries this morning. We’re grooming the 3km, 5km and Armstrong trails today. The skate and classic track will be a bit firmer than yesterday after the warming afternoon yesterday. All trails but the Farm are open. We’ll dig out the frozen plow berms on the road crossings so we can get our groomers and their equipment safely in and out. Grooming focus will be on the core near the nordic center first. Red wax today, red or warmer later in the afternoon. The skiing won’t be too fast early, but it will pick up mid-morning before the warm afternoon slows it down again. It will be another beautiful day to be out.

Watch for icy walkways and use the handrails! Please drive safely, walk with care in your ski boots and ski with Joy! Be aware, be careful and ski within your abilities. PLEASE ride the bus, micro transit, carpool, skateboard, cycle, e-bike or walk if you can. Parking is available all around the hotel and underground but everything you can do to reduce single driver trips and park smart helps! Come play in the snow and drop in to the shop to say hi. The snow bunnies will be out and about this morning. Let’s put in another plug for all the hardworking people who spend hours making your ski experience wonderful. Please have a Joy-filled and adventurous ski day!

Groomed the Upper and Lower Spruces loops. Sled packed Jordan Pines, but didn’t feel comfortable getting the groomer over there. Conditions are pretty good, with some snow still falling when I left. There was a tree down on the connector trail between the Upper and Lower Spruces loops, but it has been removed. On the sushi scale: Philadelphia Roll

Quick snow update. That “gentle” snow has accumulated 2″ in the last 2 hours and the radar shows it continuing at least throughout the morning. Skating might be ok in the trees, but today looks like another group effort to keep the classic tracks tracked!

Good Morning,

As spring rolls closer we keep getting more snow! The upper and lower track has been groomed for skate and classic lanes were reset. The snow should stop around noon and the conditions will be soft to begin with and should become firm up later in the day.

Have a great day!

Fairview trails all groomed this morning, skate and classic. Looks great with all the new snow. But it might be a little soft due to the snow depth.

All trails groomed for skate and classic. The power company is done fixing the lines, so all trails are open and smooth sailing is on the menu for today. At 8am: 18° with gentle snow and winds, with a high of 29°.

Cold overnight and just a few snowflakes floating down this morning. A beautiful start to a wintery day! We received another 3 inches of snow yesterday during the day. We’re rolling and packing the 3km, 5km and Armstrong trails first, then we’ll work our way to the dog loop after the core trails are done. The skate and classic track will be soft and smooth with the new snow. All trails but the Farm are open. We need to go dig out the very high plow berms on the road crossings before we can get our grooming equipment safely in and out. Grooming focus will be on the core near the nordic center first. Blue wax today early, red later in the afternoon. The skiing won’t be fast early, but it will be another beautiful day to be out.

Mountain Dell

All loops except World Cup groomed for skate Monday night. In addition, classic was reset on all loops except Lower Below Cullen’s and World Cup. Conditions on the Lower Below Cullen’s remain a bit soft and expect some wind drifted areas. There are thin areas on the Lower Below Cullen’s as well as the Creek Loop. Beware on the Creek loop where the classic pressed right down to the ground in a few areas. Overall, both classic and skate skiing should be very good to excellent Tuesday. Come up to Mtn. Dell and enjoy some epic early March sliding conditions. Cheers!

Wow, not sure how others did but Fairview was hammered by the recent storm. I shoveled two feet of snow on the path into the track from the parking lot, although it tends to drift in there. Today all I could do was sled pack the trail system. But this amount of snow should extend a season which was on its last legs a week ago with sun and some warm days.
Expect the track to be groomed Tuesday morning early, skating and classic. It should set up overnight tonight and give me good snow to work with. March is usually about when we have to quit but if Mother Nature cooperates with at least cold nights, we may keep skiing a bit longer than usual.

Groomed to the first switchback for skate and classic. There were about 5″ at the gate and 8″ at the switchback. The snow quality made for perhaps the nicest classic tracks of the season. The skate lane cleaned up nicely and there were few skiers on it when we finished shortly before sunset. The freeze tonight should help make this your destination in the morning.

Good Morning,

It’s been a snowy start to the day. The upper and lower track have been groomed for skate and the classic lanes were reset. It’s snowing now but should stop in the next couple hours. Should be soft skiing initially but get firmer as the day goes on. Come on enjoy the trails!!

Have a great week!
