Closing Day Sunday Haiku:
Closing day is nigh,
Locking up, filling the box,
Sending you our thanks!

THE SHOP IS CLOSING FOR THE SEASON TODAY at 5:00pm and our 40% off Sale ends then. ALL SKI TRAILS ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. We managed 38 days of great skiing between heat waves and rain this season. Our deepest gratitude goes out to all of you for your support in this incredibly difficult “winter” season. You are the greatest community of friends, extended family and customers that anyone could ever ask for. The snow bunnies have storage waxed their skis and are picking up their bikes tuned at our Bonanza Dr. store (where the sale goes on) for next week’s predicted record heat. The daily Haiku may continue for a bit due to popular demand.

Spruces

Good morning Spruces skiers. I groomed the Upper Loops this morning very thoroughly. There is still plenty of snow to ski all around Milt’s Loops as well as the Practice and Pavilion Loops. I also set classic, which is good in some spots and marginal in others. This could be our last weekend of grooming, as temperatures are very hot next week. Please come out and enjoy your National Forest.

Spruces

Spruces skied quite nicely between about 10:30a and 12:30p Friday. It was scary firm before 10a. Note that the overnight low was 42. The track locks up hard in temperatures well above 32. I was striding on klister right down the middle of the track. The skating was fast and predictable during that time. Forest Service is planning to groom Saturday morning, which will make the skiing even better. Tomorrow’s forecast for strong winds and heavy cloud cover should keep the track skiing nicely all day Saturday. Sunday and Monday should be a good surface as well, but watch the forecast and hit that window where it is soft but not too soft. Based on current forecast, for Monday I would expect that to be between 11a and 2p. Go ski!

Soldier Hollow

We are holding the NCAA men’s classic 7.5 km race at 9 am and the women’s at 10:30 am. Come cheer them on! Then come ski at 12:30pm when we open the trails to the public until 4:30pm for rentals or 6:30pm if you have your own skis! The trails are set with double classic tracks for the races, so classic skiing is recommended.

Come spectate and cheer on the teams in the morning, then stick around to ski the softened trails in the afternoon. Win win! We’ll see you out there.
