We have groomed for skate and set the classic lane on the Upper and Lower Trails this morning. Coverage is still full. Track is firm this morning but will soften throughout the day with the mild temperatures. Have a great week everyone!

Today the trails are fairly firm and turned out well this morning. Expect warmer temps this afternoon with a high of 35 degrees. I might bring some glide wax for the afternoon.

Warm and overcast morning with a hint of fresh wet snow on top. Wax and STRUCTURE! Bring your skis in and we can help make them move on conditions like this. warm all day with red maybe even yellow wax needed. Spring seems to be thundering in this week so get out there and enjoy the trails. Please purchase and display your trail pass! Yes, we’ll be out checking and yes, we saw you at the Farm yesterday… Please help us remind walkers, dog owners, fat bikers and new locals that the ski trails are for skiing. There are numerous wonderful options at Round Valley and Basin Trails for those multi-use activities. Footprints on a soft track are dangerous for skiers and no one understands the compulsion that some people have to walk right down the classic tracks… It’s a mystery to us. Stay safe and healthy!

Groomed for skate and classic to the first switchback on the trail to Big Mountain. Still holding up nice and firm. Get up and enjoy.

Trails should be nice today with cold snow in the morning, warming up in the afternoon with a high of 37. Use all temp wax today, or 32-21 degree. The skiing should be fantastic today!
Mountain Dell
The Mt. Dell track was groomed Tuesday evening. All loops are open, except Wiggle Room. Main, Mitten, Lower, Kid’s, Boomerang, Creek and Lollipop were groomed for skate. The classic track was reset on the Creek loop. Skiing should be good tomorrow morning with firm condition that will soften during the day. Enjoy

In the words of Bill Withers, “Lovely Day” Blue sky, spring arrives midday. SPF50+ today. Blue wax with firm track skating in the morning, Classic tracks will soften a bit midday onward with red being the likely wax of choice. Hard and fast in the morning for certain. Packed powder and refreshed skate lanes everywhere. Skiing has been so good this week!
Please purchase and display your trail pass while skiing! Yes, we are checking. If you encounter dog walkers, runners, walkers, lost tourists, lost locals, fat bikers or anyone else not on skis on the ski trail please encourage them to visit the wonderful Round Valley or Basin Rec trails for those multi-use activities. Those trails were designed and built with your taxes and contributions to Mountain Trails just for those purposes. Have a wonderful day and we’ll see you out on the ski trails!
Mountain Dell
All loops groomed for skate and classic late Monday evening. Skate only on World Cup. The Lower below Cullen’s remains quite soft from the previous weekend storm and extra caution is warranted. Pretty rare to have the entire track open first of March with this kind of coverage. Sliding today should be glorious in the abundant sunshine. Come up and enjoy the last couple weeks of the Mountain Dell Season. Cheers!
SR-65
Groomed to the top of Big Mountain Pass for skate and classic after 17″ with the storm. Softer conditions, of course, but nice groom overall. First time all three of us groomed together. Fairly thick pack towards the top, but our pending heat wave will put the hurt to the first mile or so. Asphalt may be poking through by the weekend, so come ski before it’s too late!
Millcreek
Groomed and set track this morning.

Wow… March is here. Gorgeous cold morning. everything is groomed and ready. Blue sky and blue wax will take the blues away. Get here and ski. Track should be firm all day and a bit squeaky. Please purchase and display your trail pass! Thank you all for your ongoing support and enthusiasm for nordic skiing. We are busy, but truly appreciate you and we are always happy to see you on the trails or in the shop. Please help us to continue to encourage walkers, dog owners and fat bikers to visit Round Valley or Basin trails. There really isn’t anything more frustrating for us than having Vail bound alpine skiers trudging along the track from their condos right after the groomers have passed…..
Be kind everyone and stay healthy
