Groomed and set track late this afternoon
Solitude Nordic
Hello from the Solitude Nordic Center! We are excited to kick off the season with the snow that we have received so far. The lake flat trail up by the Nordic Center is groomed for classic by the snowmobile only. The Big, little, and mid Redman have been groomed with the snow-cat this morning. Hopefully after this storm tomorrow we will be able to groom most trail by snow-cat. I will post as soon as that happens, but until then enjoy the redmans; grooming looks nice today down there for skate only in the Redmans. Tomorrow I will add some classic tracks for y’all down in the Redmans!
Mountain Dell
Mountain Dell received approximately 6″ of fresh snow this morning and conditions are the best they’ve been all season. Groomed Main and Mitten for skate and classic and we’ll be working on trying to get more open. Looking for more snow later this week so we can open more trails.
Spruces
Spruces not groomed. Quite a bit of snow last night. Give us a day or two to catch-up.
Thanks.
White Pine
Skating on the 3 and 5k will be good early today. The warm and wind yesterday did reduce snow depth so ski aware. A warmish morning to start out with winds increasing throughout the day. Classic track not reset overnight. It may be a great afternoon to drop in, pick up your season pass and check out the latest youth and adult ski arrivals. Snow late tonight is eagerly anticipated. Stay safe and please mask up in the shop. We want to enjoy the holidays with our families too.

Jerry and Paul groomed this morning. Fresh skate on Main, short Mitten, Kids, Wiggle Room, Boomerang. We closed Lollitop, as it is down to pavement in one corner. Very warm ground with an insulating layer of snow is making for challenging grooming conditions, as the snow is melting out from below.
White Pine
No new snow overnight. 3k and 5k have been freshened up a bit. Skiing has been great! Coverage remains thin in places so keep your ski flat and your eyes forward. Ski at your own risk on the Armstrong Snow Pasture. Farm has been rolled but there is not enough snow to safely ski on. Be patient.

28 degrees at 7 am
32 degrees at 9 am
Skate and classic set Sunday morning on Main, Mitten, Wiggle Room, Out & Back, Kid’s cutoff. The lolli-top was groomed but the snow is very thin and could damage skis if skating.
The classic track snow is thin so skiers need to pay attention and avoid bare spots.
The parking lot is very icy so be extremely cautious.
Millcreek
Freshly groomed and track set this evening. Should set up nice for tomorrow morning. Go early tomorrow!
Spruces
Hi everybody, welcome to a new ski season! We rolled the Upper Loop and the Practice Loops today for the first groom of the season. BUT, there are some thin spots out there, particularly on the north side of the loop. You could easily go down to pavement and scratch your skis, so be careful. We aren’t able to groom the Lower Loop yet as we need more snow to groom over on the Connector Trail. We will groom as much as we can and as soon as we have enough snow, we will begin grooming the Lower Loop. Thanks, have fun!
White Pine
White Pine is open for skiing since Friday. 3k and 5k are groomed and track set today. Conditions are thin so ski with awareness and caution. A bit chilly today. Help us remind walkers, new residents, visitors and dog owners that there are fantastic places to engage in those activities off the ski trails. We have an education brochure in the shop and can help direct folks to better locations for those activities. You can see our trail updates on our website and instagram daily. We are wearing masks in the shop because we want to enjoy the holidays with our families too. Be kind and stay healthy.

Mountain Dell
Saturday Grooming Report. First groom of the season! Groomed for skate and classic. Main, Mitten, Kids Cutoff, Boomerang, Wiggle and Lollitop. Good coverage, but still be cautious of early season conditions. Enjoy!
Mountain Dell
Mountain Dell is open!
Main Loop, Mitten, Kids Cut-off, Loli-Pop, Boomerang, Wiggle Room groomed for skate and classic. Expect soft conditions and a few thin spots, otherwise skiing should be great.
Cold and clear. Parking lot is plowed and icy. Use caution. Have a great day skiing.
Mountain Dell
We will have corduroy and some limited classic track Saturday morning. The snow is thin, so not the day for your best skis. If you skate early you will be going down to grass or pavement with every step. Wait until noon and it will be much, much better. Expected groomed loops include Main, Mitten (shortcut version), Kids Cutoff, Wiggle Room and Boomerang. Enjoy!
Millcreek
Groomed and set track today. It was still snowing when finishing grooming operation at 3:30pm. Pulses of moisture kept coming in waves throughout the day.
