Good morning, Sanpete! This morning the skate lane was buffed out. I am still experimenting with the best way to do this on hard pack, so be patient. Skating should be good. The classic track “is what it is.” Some of it ok, other stretches show signs of wear and have deteriorated. More snow expected Friday so let’s hope a few more inches will jump start both skate and classic skiing. I will be gone Saturday morning so grooming may not happen until late Saturday or Sunday. Thanks for your patience.

Spruces

Groomed and set classic track today. Track cleaned up pretty well despite icy conditions. Sunny and a great day for skiing when we left. We are getting a thin spot on the north side of Nursery Meadows Loop, under a tree, where it gets sun all day. Be careful on that portion. Hopefully we can get some new snow soon.

Track Conditions
The lower track is groomed for skate and a classic lane is set. The upper track has been groomed for skate. Classic lane is a little icy in spots. Skate trails are in great shape with the colder temperatures overnight. Come enjoy the day!!

Mountain Dell

Groom all loops (including World Cup), except Lower below Cullen’s for skate Monday evening. Lower below Cullen’s remains closed due to thin snow pack. Did not reset classic as most of the classic set Sunday evening is in reasonably good condition. Some glazing in areas, but not enough snow to attempt a reset in the problem areas with a reasonable expectation of improving upon what already exists. Sliding should be good today. Be on the lookout for some thin/icy conditions in usual areas of the track. Time to up the ante on the pleas to Ullr. Enjoy!

Mountain Dell

Groomed all loops (including World Cup), except Lower below Cullen’s for skate Monday evening. Lower below Cullen’s remains closed due to thin snow pack. Existing classic for the most part is in reasonably good condition given the snow situation we are currently dealing with. Some glazing in a few areas, but too thin to really try a reset at this point to remedy the situation. The mantra for now until more snow arrives is to do no harm to the track. Think less is more. Skate lanes cleaned up well and should provide good sliding today. Depending on warming, conditions will vary from firm in the morning to soft in the afternoon to firm again as temps begin to dip late day. Time to up the ante on your pleas to Ullr. Enjoy!

White Pine

Another beautiful day. Not quite as cold overnight so conditions should be great all day. All trails groomed and open for your skiing pleasure. Ski with caution and awareness early as the freeze thaw spring cycle continues.

East Canyon groomed for skate to Big Mountain. Overall coverage is good.
Track is a little raggedy for the first bit. Looked pretty good after restroom. After a little warming tomorrow skiing should be good.
Time to change up your snow dance. The existing ones aren’t working!

Looking at another spring skiing day. Coverage is holding well, but very cold overnight again. Warming quickly through the day so the sweet spot will probably be in the 11 to 1 range. Very firm track in the morning with a few icy spots from the daily freeze thaw cycle. All 20+km 0f trails groomed this morning after a huge ski day yesterday. If you are a beginner we recommend skiing at brunch time rather than first thing. Please remember MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES INDOORS AT THE NORDIC CENTER. and to the guy who pulled his shirt up to cover his mouth and over-shared his belly…. definitely not a mask. We are trying to stay open and healthy. Please help us.

Plan your carpool now for the WCS race on Saturday. Parking will be tight as always and the neighbor is still very engaged in his efforts. Please park safely and legally and do not block roads or driveways.

Mountain Dell

Mountain Dell was groomed Sunday night. Classic reset on Main. Mitten, Kids Cut-off and Lower to Swanson’s Cut-off. Good Classic still exists on Lower to Cullen’s Cut-off.

Skate lanes were refreshed on Main, Mitten, Lower To Cullen’s, Creek Loop, World Cup, Lollipop, Boomerang, Wiggle Room, Kid’s Cut-off and Park Road Bypass.

Conditions remain firm and and fast on all surfaces. Please use caution out there and have a great MLK holiday!

Fairview Nordic track was groomed this morning. I buffed out the skate lane. Very firm track and it should skate fast and lovely. Classic track is older but still firmly in place. I just don’t know that I can improve on it until there is some more fresh snow.

Upper Spruces (Milt’s Loops), Practice (Infield), Pavilion loops and Lower Spruces groomed for skate. Existing classic set from Saturday is in reasonably good condition in most places and was not reset. Should be a beautiful day to get out of the valley haze and enjoy some sliding in the sunshine on your national forest lands. Still empty parking spots in the main parking lot at 9:00 am. Enjoy!

Spring weather repeat. Very hard pack conditions early, we are grooming everything with sled and snowcat today, but conditions will be very exciting early. If you are a beginner, it might be worth having that second coffee before you head out. All trails open, but ski with awareness there are a few icy patches developing with this “weather” cycle. Please remember to park legally and drive safely when you visit us. The neighbor is watching and is very generous with observations. MASKS MUST BE WORN INDOORS AT ALL TIMES. Help us stay healthy and open for you.

Plan your travel and carpool now for the WCS race on Saturday!
