Groomed Spruces this morning. Still plenty of snow up here, upper loop was very nice. Spring conditions obviously. The North side of the lower loop has pavement showing, and the trail to Jordan Pines has dirt showing so we did not groom those. However, the upper loop was great skiing and plenty of snow. I did take down the interp and trail sign names today.
Have fun!

Todays warm temps made for good grooming conditions. The Big Cat was able to lay some good corduroy and tracks. All of the XC Trails were groomed with the big SnoCat Groomer, and tracks were set on most.
Snowshoe trails were groomed with the BearCat snowmobile and small YTS Groomer.
The Deer Hollow snow pack is a settled 3 to 3.5 ft., making good backcountry/off-trail conditions. These beautiful spring conditions, won’t last long, so get out and enjoy!
Todays Groomers were Jess H. (FS) & Volunteers: Steve, Topher, Chris, & Jim.
Spring conditions are here! A light freeze overnight has made the track fast and scabby. Please be cautious if you’re planning on skiing this morning! Classic tracks are variable, consider skating as the best option. Currently 38 F and sunny at 8:30. Melt beginning in about an hour. High reaching mid 50’s this afternoon. Bring your sunscreen!

ever nearer…. It froze just enough last night to make an ice rink. The 3k is getting a fresh groom to go with the classic tracks set late yesterday. Expect a lot of melting and running water as the day heats up. Skiing was pretty good yesterday until early afternoon. Surprisingly good given the temperatures. Places are getting thin so ski with caution and awareness. Probably 10 am will start the sweetness of spring skiing. Very spicy before then so be careful. In fact, be careful all day. End your season on a positive note. Thank you everyone for your support in the crazy season. Drop in, say Hi, get your storage wax done.

The end is nearer. Pretty much the same as yesterday. Ski at your own risk on closed trails (5k, Farm, Connector, Dog Loop) Ski with caution on the 3k. Watch for icy patches and growing tree well melting. Surface groomed on the 3k. By afternoon it will be quite mushy so come out early. We’re reaching for the silverware drawer to find a fork to stick in it on Sunday at 5. Come and see us, say Hi, thank the staff and we’re always happy to see you. Don’t forget storage wax! Hurry in!
Thanks for supporting your locally owned and operated business for 50 years so far!

The end is near… Heat wave is here. We’ll try to hold on until Sunday for the 3k. Icy early with some very spicy patches to watch out for. 5k is closed and not groomed. ski at your own risk. Farm is posted closed and not groomed. Unmarked hazards will crop up quickly. Ski at your own risk. Crust skiing will be good but breaking up earlier with each day. Best skiing mid-day before it goes to mush and ice mix. Store will close for the season at 5:00pm Sunday 3/27. Get your skis in for summer wax now! It’s been a non-stop Nordic adventure season and we appreciate all of you and your on going support of this locally owned business. White Pine has been in business for 50 years and we thank yo for being a part of it.
Ski safe and we’ll see you at Solitude Nordic next week!

15°F/-9.4°C at 0830. Trails groomed for skate and classic nordic skiing. Come on up!
Spruces
Groomed Spruces and Jordan Pines this morning. Left the classic track from yesterday as it was in good shape. New snow helped out and conditions were very nice. FYI, there is pavement showing on the North side of the Nursery Meadows loop. This is likely the last week we will groom the north side of that loop. I imagine this is the last week we will groom Jordan Pines as well, as the trail over is melting out. We will groom until the first week of April and then look at wrapping things up. Come up and ski the new snow and enjoy a last lap before spring!
White Pine
We will be closing for the season on Sunday 3/27 at 5:00pm. We’ll be open 9-5 every day until then! The 5k is CLOSED it is skiable, but you will have to walk in places, the 3k and Armstrong are surface groomed. The Farm will be posted closed tomorrow due to hazards melting out and difficulties safely bringing grooming equipment to the trail (pavement). Crust skiing should be great today, slush skiing will be exceptional later. It did freeze overnight so ski with caution early.
It has been a remarkable season. Drop in to say hi and go for a few final laps!

15°F/-9.4°C at 0830. Trails groomed for skate and classic. Very good conditions early and getting warm and wet as the day progresses. Still mostly fine-grained snow with transformation occurring in the snow under the trees and in direct sunlight.
Spruces
11°F at 0900. Spruces Ski Trails groomed for skate and classic. This little bit of new snow helped us a lot and the skiing is lovely.
Solitude Nordic
All trails groomed for skate and classic. 3″ of new snow since yesterday. 14° at 8:30am, high of 30° today.

The end is getting closer.. A beautiful spring morning with a frozen and icy track early. New classic was set late yesterday and it is rock solid this morning along with the deep skate ruts from people who decided “Classic Ski After 3” wasn’t for them. Surface dragging this morning will crumble things up and as the day warms skiing will be quite good again by mid-day. Not quite as warm today so it’ll take a bit more time to soften up. Crust cruising should be great in the morning. If you are a timid or cautious skier, have a second cup of coffee and drop in at 11. We’ll be announcing closed dates soon, but if you want to ski the 5k one more time with your skis on the whole way, you’d better be here in the next couple of days. We have just a couple of really nice high performance demos left on the wall.. You shouldn’t miss the opportunity for these. Bring your skis in for storage wax sooner rather than later.
Ski safe everyone!
