A light dusting last night called for an early grooming today. The Classic track in the upper loop was not reset but is still visible and ready for use! Upper and lower loop were groomed and are looking great for some skiing. Some spots are still lacking enough snow to fully groom and the path to Jordan Pines is still patchy which we will wait for more snow before grooming again.

A very brisk and stunning sunrise today in the mountains. Finally some clouds in the sky but not a lot of flakes to get excited about. We will call it an inch of fresh snow that had ambitions. If we were fishing it would be the one that got away. The surface of the 3k “Community Loop” should be very good with the fresh cover and very firm underneath. A dusting of December Joy on top. Very cold overnight means the track should stay pretty cold again today. The 3 km “Community Loop” is open and skiing well. It is too shallow to set classic track, but the skiing is quite good given the amount of snow. The 5 km “Pond Loop” is closed but the off track snow is good. Route finding skills are helpful. It has some gaps and is discontinuous but offers wonderful ski, walk on the grass and ski again options. Blue wax all day.

Surfaces are not deep, so ski with care and caution. Come in early to purchase or pick up your season pass and check out all the gear and clothing while we have the best selection of the season. Think snow!
Hours 9am to 5pm daily. You must have a trail pass purchased and displayed to access our trails. Everyone ski safe, smile, say “Hi” to your fellow skiers, admire the hard work that has kept the track open and enjoy!

This storm was “Much Ado About Nothing”

A brisk and slightly breezy day in the mountains. Finally some clouds in the sky but not a lot of flakes to get excited about. The surface of the 3k “Community Loop” should be very good but firm early. Cold overnight means the track should stay pretty cold again today. The 3 km “Community Loop” is open and skiing well. The 5 km “Pond Loop” is closed but the off track snow is quite good. Route finding skills are helpful. It has some gaps and is discontinuous but offers wonderful ski, walk on the grass and ski again options.

Blue wax all day. Surfaces are not deep, so ski with care and caution. If you go out late in the day, please classic ski if it is soft. Come in early to purchase or pick up your season pass and check out all the gear and clothing while we have the best selection of the season. Think snow! Hours 9am to 5pm daily.

Everyone ski safe, smile, say “Hi” to your fellow skiers, visualize warm holiday baking and spread some Joy!

There are a few shovels and scoops on the 3km trail. Enjoy some cross training and toss a couple of scoops of snow on to the thin spots. You’ll be stronger, get great feeling of being part of our wonderful ski community and also help the track last longer. Even a few scoops will fill your heart and your trail with happiness.

Groomed the trail early this morning. There are some short dicey passages to navigate but also some very nice long stretches of good skating.
Skating only as there is not enough snow to set a classic track. Skating should be very nice today if you can handle the thin coverage in a few places.

Another Spring-like day in the mountains, but maybe some change in the air. Sunrise with a couple clouds was incredible this morning. We did a very light smoothing of the 3k this morning so the surface should be very good and firm early. Cold overnight means the track should stay pretty nice again today. The 3 km “Community Trail” is open and skiing very well. The 5 km “Pond Loop” is closed but the off track snow is quite good. Route finding skills are helpful. It has some gaps and is discontinuous but offers wonderful ski, walk on the grass and ski again options. Blue early wax and red wax later in the day.

Skiing be best today until about 1:00 when temperatures will be near 40 degrees F (again). Surfaces are not deep, so ski with care and caution. If you skate, ride a flat ski and if you are cutting deep, please switch to classic so we can preserve the snow for the continuing Spring days. If you go out late in the day, please classic skiing if it is soft. Come in early to purchase or pick up your season pass and check out all the gear and clothing while we have the best selection of the season. Think snow maybe we’ll see a little fresh tonight! Hours 9am to 5pm daily. You must have a trail pass purchased and displayed to access our trails.

Beautiful day up at Spruces. Classic track in the Upper Loop is still set and rolled and groomed the Upper Loop and the top of the Lower Loop. Still some areas that don’t have enough snow to fully groom the Loop Trails. The path to Jordan Pines is patchy, so we will wait for more snow before trying to get over there again. Have fun!

I doubt anyone will read this but 1) faithful groomer has returned from Nordic Ski festival at Grand mesa and 2) Fairview has retained a surprising percentage of pre-Thanksgiving snowfall. Track was groomed with the Tidd Tech early this morning and it looks encouraging for skating (no classic track set). There are a few dicey spots but I think they are easily navigated and there will be long stretches where a skier can drill and it should be possible to ski all four miles with a few places to tap dance around. I will ski it today and use “rock skis.” Pray for snow. A few more inches with cold temperatures will be a game changer out there.

Hi Spruces fans, welcome to another great year of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing! We will have some great new groomers from the Forest Service this year and will be grooming our usual routes. This morning, we groomed and set classic around the Upper Loops with the Ginzugroomer. We only rolled the Lower Loops, as they are still very thin. There is pavement showing on the north side of Nursery Meadows. We sled packed Jordan Pines, but were not able to take the groomer over. There are dirt and rocks showing on the trail to Jordan. Please be careful as it is pretty thin anywhere you ski. Have fun!

Back to waiting for snow. Several people got out on the thin corduroy over the past week, but now that is so intermittent as to not be worth the trouble of heading out. The recrystallized powder off the edge of the track was fun on fishscale skis on Monday, December 2, but even that will be fleeting. It is early, there will be more.
