Soldier Hollow

Ski Race: We are hosting SuperQ and RMISA this weekend so we will have partial closures Friday – Sunday. Today is a skate sprint and it is scheduled to end around 3:30. Please be considerate of the ski racers.

Ski Trail Conditions:  We have about 8 k of snowmaking ribbon that makes up in inner core trails. 90% of our trails are open now between the blown and natural snow. Some early season low snow hazards still exist, especially on the natural snow south slopes, so please ski with caution. We are blowing snow as much as we can with these cold temperatures, so be aware of that as well.

Weather and Conditions: It is currently 16 F and sunny, with a forecasted high of 37 F. There is a slight chance for snow late in the day.

A bluebird morning with a new cat on the trails! Sunshine and freshly groomed trails is the forecast with a chance of clouds later in the day. Not quite as cold overnight but you’ll still glide best with blue wax today. The snow may transform mid-afternoon and get sticky so you may need some red or purple top coat with some structure on your bases. We’ll see lots of sun early today and temperatures around 32 degrees this afternoon. We’re grooming the 3k, 5k, Armstrong and the Dog Loop with classic and resurfaced skate lanes. Conditions can be described as zen garden corduroy. The dog loop is open and running joyfully through the field. The Farm is open and groomed for the weekend. The Farm is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling or trespassing on the trails. Park in the new Meadows trailhead lot or better yet, ski the entire loop from the Nordic Center.

Our new snowcat arrived yesterday and has been prowling the trails. Keep an eye out for it. Ski with caution on the Farm on that corduroy. Conditions remain thin in places and a high speed mistake will have consequences.

Classic skiing will be very good today and skate will also be quite good and getting better as the day goes on. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always helpful if it gets sticky late in the day. Skin skis are an exceptional no-fuss classic option. Bring your family, friends and neighbors along to play and if you need to take a mid-day “therapy” break we’ll write you an excusal 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. Ski Joyfully, share the trail, lean into the curves, glide smoothly and take a couple of laps on our beautiful winter trails! Thank you for being part of our amazing community and making it all the way to the end of today’s trail report. Now go outside and play!

A special thank you to Prinoth for delivering a shiny new Husky Snowcat for us to use this winter. If you enjoy what we’re providing, be sure to tell your local city officials how great it is to have such an incredible long-term community partnership between PC and White Pine Touring. We’ve been making trails on the golf course and beyond for 47 years.

Groomed to the top for skate and classic beginning at 4:30 p.m. The skate track cleaned up nicely and was firm. The classic was good at the bottom and got better above the restroom. With only a couple of skiers on it when we left and a nice freeze tonight, the skiing tomorrow should be very good. Enjoy.

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 low 30’s this afternoon, so skiing should be great all day!! We hope everyone has a great week!

A beautiful sunny day coming up! Sunshine and freshly groomed trails is the forecast. Very cold overnight again, so you’ll do best with blue wax for grip and glide early today. The snow may transform mid-afternoon and get sticky and need some red or purple top coat with some structure on your bases. We’ll see lots of sun today and expect warming temperatures this afternoon. We’re grooming the 3k, 5k, Armstrong and the Dog Loop with classic and resurfaced skate lanes. The dog loop is open and running quickly through the field. The Farm is settling and should be open and groomed by the weekend. Stay tuned for opening updates. We want to make sure we have some of the natural terrain features smoothed out and firmed up before we open the Farm.

Main, Mitten, Boomerang and Lollipop all were groomed for skate this evening. The classic is holding up well on Main, Mitten and Boomer. Nice crunchy cold snow. It should ski really well tomorrow. THINK SNOW!

The ropes across the entry to some trails are our way of warning you that bare grass, bare pavement or some other hazard is present and that we are not currently maintaining that trail. Your choice, but if you choose to duck the rope, know that you run the risk of damage to your gear and injury to yourself.

MD groomed last Nite.
Main, Mitten, Lower to Swansons, Loli and Boomerang all set for skate.
Due to declining snow coverage, some areas of classic were eliminated. No new classic set.
Should be a nice day today at the Dell.

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.
