Today was a quick grooming day, but everything was groomed with the roller and single track. The Ginzugroomer will hopefully be ready to lay some classic track this Saturday. People were already getting out there and skiing this morning so come on out soon while the groomed track is fresh.

Good Morning,

We were able to groom for skate and classic on the upper and lower trails. It was another cold night which has allowed the snow conditions to remain firm and fast today. Temperatures will peak in the upper 20’s this afternoon, so skiing should be great all day!! We hope everyone has a great week!

It is a squeaky cold 7 degrees on the trails this morning. The snow bunnies are having a second cuppa before they head out to ski. Very cold overnight again, so you’ll do best with blue wax for grip and glide all day today. We’ll see a little sun today but expect slightly warming temperatures this afternoon. We’re grooming the 3k, 5k, Armstrong and the Dog Loop with classic and resurfaced skate lanes on everything. The dog loop is open and running enthusiastically through the snow. The Farm will see more cultivation. Stay tuned for opening updates. We are letting the base settle and firm up before we open it. Thank you for your patience. We want to make sure we have some of the natural terrain smoothed out and groomed before we open the Farm.

Classic skiing will be good today and skate will also be quite good but a bit slow early on the cold track. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always helpful. Skin skis are a very good no-fuss classic option. Bring your family, friends and neighbors along for the fun and if you need to take a mid-day “therapy” break we’ll write you a note. Drop off your skis when you’re finished for a well deserved overnight spa treatment. Please purchase AND display your trail pass to access our trails. Please ski with Joy, breathe deeply and share our beautiful winter trails! Thank you for being part of our amazing community and being curious enough to read all the way to the end!

We still have a good selection of skate and classic skis and boots in the shop, but some sizes/models are starting to get scarce.

Fairview track was groomed Monday afternoon, skate lane only. Just a few flurries since so it should be great skating. Classic tracks were left alone as they remain nicely set. Bear in mind lower loop classic tracks especially have short thin or even bare stretches so recommend using the skate lane to bypass those. Cold temps should assure conditions remain good most of the week. Come ski; it’s getting lonely out there!

Good morning. At 0730 the temperature is 1°F. All trails groomed for skate and classic skiing and are in excellent condition. Trails groomed today are Silver Lake Trail, Cabin Fever, Camp Loop, Cornucopia amd Big Redman.

Mountain Dell

Groomed all open trails for skate and classic tonight. It should be a fabulous day tomorrow. It’s cold out there, we left this evening and it was 14 degrees. I’m going to get out in the morning to ski some classic, it’ll be nice to break out the hardwax skis. Coverage is good in most spots, but watch out for thin areas.

Cheers,

Brock and Mike

Good Morning,

We were able to groom for skate and classic on the upper and lower trail. With the continued low overnight temperatures the trail was able to groom up really well! The snow conditions will be firm and fast today. We hope everyone has a great week!

It is squeaky cold on the trails this morning. Very cold overnight again, so blue wax for grip and glide all day today. We’ll see a little sun today but expect winter temperatures all day with small chance of flurries late in the day. We’re grooming the 3k, 5k, Armstrong and the Dog Loop with classic and resurfaced skate lanes on everything. The dog loop is open and running playfully through the snow. The Farm will see more cultivation, so stay tuned for opening updates. We are letting the base settle and firm up before we open it. We are also looking for polite ways to keep runners off the trails. We are open to suggestions. Thank you for your patience with this most interesting winter we’ve been having.

Classic skiing will be good today and skate will also be quite good but a bit slow early on the cold track. Skiing will be a rewarding activity today no matter the technique. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always helpful. Skin skis are a very good no-fuss classic option today. Bring your family, friends and neighbors along for the adventure and if you need to take a mid-day “therapy” break we’ll write you a note. Drop off your skis when you’re done for a well deserved overnight spa treatment.

Groomed this evening to then top. Classic below the monument didn’t take too well. The skate lane is free of deep ruts but is a little churned. All in all, tomorrow will be a fine day to ski the canyon.

A light little dusting of snow on top of the trails this morning. Cold overnight again, so blue wax for grip and glide all day today. We may see a little sun later today but expect winter temperatures all day with small chance of flurries early. We’re grooming the 3k, 5k, Armstrong and the Dog Loop with fresh classic and resurfaced skate lanes on everything. Powdered sugar on top and a firm track below. It will be very much like a delicious Greek Kourabiedes shortbread.

The dog loop is open and running enthusiastically through the snow. The Farm will see basic cultivation, so stay tuned for opening updates. Thank you for your patience with this most interesting winter we’ve been having.

Classic skiing will be very good today and skate will also be good but a bit slow early in the fresh dusting. Skiing will be a great activity today no matter the technique. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always helpful. Skin skis are a very good no-fuss classic option. Try only using your phone for photos today and bringing your family, friends and neighbors along for the adventure.
