Mountain Dell groomed last night for skate and classic. The track is holding up surprisingly well and the cold temperatures allowed for the skate lanes to freshen nicely. Classic is variable but set well in most areas. Areas groomed include Main, Mitten, Boomerang and Lolly Top. It should ski well. Enjoy!

Winter is back for a few days. Very cold (-5 F at 7:30) this morning so bundle up. Below freezing all day. 3-4 inches of fresh snow yesterday and overnight. All trails groomed and open. We’ll be resetting classic track too. A chance to use those cold waxes again. Blue is the wax and the sky today. Ski safe and please remember to wear your mask while indoors at the Nordic Center. Thank you.
Mountain Dell
Mountain Dell was groomed for skate and classic this morning. Main, Mitten, Lollitop and Kids cutoff all received a cleanup. We reset classic as best we could with the frozen underlying layer and the new snow from the past couple of days. The wind was howling and there will be some drifting in areas. Enjoy it while you can.

7°F at 0800 with light flurries at Silver Lake. About 2″ new, cold snow. Conditions for skate and classic skiing are excellent!
Millcreek
Groomed and set track this morning
Fairview
Fairview did not get much snow Monday. But I groomed the track today. The skate lane looks excellent again and colder temps should keep it good. I also set a new classic track, however, it is not deep. Be advised I leave late Tuesday for WI and will be gone until later Monday 2/28. So I hope the current conditions hold up for good skiing.
Spruces
Groomed Spruces and Jordan Pines this morning and set new classic track. New snow made for really nice conditions!

Track Conditions
The lower track has been groomed for skate and a classic lane has been reset. The upper track is groomed for skate and in good shape. Classic lane is good in most areas. The bridges are holding with snow coverage but narrowing in certain spots. Hopefully the flurries continue throughout the day for some even better coverage! Have a great day!!

Another dusting of snow overnight. Beautiful crisp morning. All trails resurfaced in order, 5k, 3k, Armstrong and Farm. Shallow track set where possible. It’s still really firm underneath with patches of ice below. Ski with awareness and be safe. The trailhead for the 3k has a large clear ice patch by the tee marker. Please use extreme caution when heading over there to ski. Be safe!

10°F with light flurries at the Nordic Center at 0800. A few inches of very cold snow fell yesterday. Trails are groomed for classic and skate skiing. Excellent conditions with this new snow!
Mountain Dell
UPDATE: An unexpected 2+ inches of snow has fallen overnight, after the crew groomed. Good news: more snow! Challenge: skating might be a slog. Classic should be a hoot, though. After a little snow today, we groomed what we have open for skate only. The classic tracks are in poor condition. The skate lanes are fair to good. Open trails are main, mitten, kids cutoff, and lollipop top. Not having much snow and some warm temperatures has created a few spots that are very icy. On your first trip around the track, assume it’s very icy and ski with care. Despite the icy spots, most of the track is good. Be safe out there and have some fun.

All trails groomed for skate and classic. About 2″ of new snow so far this morning, expecting another 6″ throughout the day. 19° at 8:00am, high of 32°.

Dust on crust. So far the “storm” has just dusted the firm and icy crust that yesterday’s heat created. We’re hoping that more snow will continue all day. We’ll be smoothing the tracks, but not enough new snow to reset classic yet. Cross your fingers. Skating should be a little sticky but good early with a very firm base. Snow is expected all day so we’ll update later if needed. Please ski safe and watch for ruts and icy patches beneath the dusting. Please remember to wear your mask while indoors at the Nordic Center. Help us help you stay healthy. If you don’t have a pass, please drop your trail fees in the lock-box on the Farm Trail. It is a fee area in the Winter. Grooming doesn’t happen by magic.

Monday morning update: It is snowing as of 7 A.M. and should continue to do so most of the day, with the bulk of the snow falling between 11 A.M. and 5 P.M. Perhaps two inches by sunset. We will let the snow settle today, so expect tough conditions for skate. Classic should be fun.
