White Pine

Fresh snow, cold and soft on the track this morning. Smooth some blue wax on your sticks for best gliding before midday. Red wax will be from midday on. The track might get a little sticky by early afternoon. It’s a beautiful snowy morning The 3km, 5km and Armstrong loops are groomed and open today with skate lane and classic track set. The dog loop is open, but a little scruffy in spots. The Farm is still awaiting more snow but we are getting very close! Classic skiing will be good today and skate will also be good but a bit slow today. Good wax will be important today to keep gliding. A good universal liquid on your classic skis, especially on your fishscale skis (tip to tail) will be helpful. If you’re not gliding well, drop off your skis for deeper wax refresh. You must have a trail pass purchased and displayed to access our trails. Everyone please ski with enthusiasm, a big smile and share the trail with unbridled Joy! Rope in a friend and bring them skiing today! Thank you for being part of our amazing community! Ski safe and enjoy the day!

Mountain Dell

Boy did that storm deliver! Mt. Dell received approximately 6″ of fresh snow overnight and well into the morning/early afternoon. It was coming down so fast this morning that we had a hard time keeping up with it; new snow would cover our tracks within 15 minutes… It’s a great problem to have, but it will affect the quality of the trail and your skiing today. Main, Mitten, Lollipop, Boomerang, Wiggle Room, and Park Road Bypass have all been packed and groomed for skate. Classic was set on Main. Conditions will be very soft. Although the 6″ helped a lot, our trail at Mt. Dell is still very thin. Ski with caution, use rock skis, and don’t go full Klæbo. The classic track that was set on Main is mediocre at best (I set it so I’m allowed to say it). With some more time, and hopefully some more snow over the next few days, we’ll be able to set more classic and open more trail for everyone to enjoy.

Spruces

Get your powder skis out! 10+ inches have fallen at spruces in the last 12 hours. The upper and lower loops along with Jordan Pines were groomed today, but expect very soft conditions as snow is still falling. There is no classic track set as we wait for this storm to move through before cleaning things up. Enjoy the fresh snow!

Good Morning,

We’re finally open! We’ve been able to groom the upper trail for skate only. Be careful as you ski the upper trail as there is windblow areas with patches of snow. We will try to set the classic later on the upper trail once the snow dies off a bit. The lower trail is currently being groomed for skate and the classic will be reset. Only holes #6 & #7 will be groomed unless we are able to continue further into the track. We have orange cones to mark off where the track currently ends. Please do not ski past that point. Please call back for updates later as we may have been able to groom more on the lower trail and can remove the orange cones. Snow conditions are soft and windblown in areas so be cautious while skiing today.

Our Jeremy Ranch Nordic Night is just around the corner. Wednesday, January 8th we will be hosting an evening loaded with Nordic activities. Starting at 5:00pm we will have a TOKO wax clinic with Jason Travis, followed by an Atomic Product Showcase and Fittings with Sandy Brown. The evening will conclude with a Q and A with Olympian Taylor Fletcher. This will be a great way to kick off the Nordic season and get you ready for a fantastic ski year. It is complimentary to attend!! We look forward to seeing you on January 8th!!

Happy New Year,

The forecast looks hopeful for us to have enough to work with on Saturday. We will be starting later than usual to let the snow pile up a bit. Expect no grooming before 10 A.M. Saturday, and machines on course into the early afternoon. Conditions will be soft. Expect forceful skate pushes to cut all the way down to pavement all day Saturday. Ski with caution, especially if you choose to skate.

Millcreek

Crew groomed this morning for skate and set classic track. Track was difficult to set from Winter Gate to Elbow Fork, but came together nicely from Elbow Fork to Upper Big Water. Enjoy!

Good Morning,

We’re finally open! We’ve been able to groom the upper trail for skate only. We tried to set the classic on the upper trail but the snow was still too thin in spots. It needs a bit more snow before we can set it. The lower trail was groomed for skate and the classic lanes were set. Only holes #6 & #7 have been groomed at this time. We have orange cones to mark off where the track currently ends. Please do not ski past that point. Snow conditions are firm now but will soften throughout the day as it gets warmer.

Crispy cold and fast on the track this morning. Smooth some blue wax on your sticks for best gliding before midday. Red wax will be from midday on. We are headed for yet another quite warm afternoon, so the track might get a little sticky by early afternoon. It’s a beautiful morning and we’ll have some clouds coming later in anticipation of tomorrow’s snow. The 3km, 5km and Armstrong loops are groomed and open today with skate lane and classic track set. The dog loop is open, but a little scruffy in spots. The Farm is still awaiting more snow but we are getting very close! Classic skiing will be good today and skate will also be very good today.

The warm temperatures today hammered the thin coverage beginning at the gate. Plan on walking way too long before skiing. The better plan yet would be to wait until we get more snow before skiing 65.

Groomed for skate this morning to the 1st switchback.
Thin coverage at the gate but skiable. Improving coverage as you climb.

Good Morning,

We’re finally open! We’ve been able to groom the upper trail for skate only. We tried to set the classic on the upper trail but the snow was too wet and heavy. The lower trail will be closed today as we are trying to pack down more of the trail for skate and classic. We will groom the skate and set as much classic trail as we can tomorrow morning. Snow conditions are soft and heavy with this new snow that is currently falling.
