Saturday Haiku:
Our hopes were so high,
The snow came and then it went,
Sunshine returns now.

THE SHOP IS OPEN and our 40% off Sale continues. ALL SKI TRAILS ARE CLOSED TODAY. We received a couple inches of snow yesterday and most if it melted off by afternoon. There’s not enough coverage to ski safely on so that’s probably it for the next weeks. Please stay off the very wet golf course and other soft surface trails until it dries out. Help us remind aspiring golfers, walkers and dog walkers that there are great options nearby rather than damaging the saturated grass. The shop is OPEN 9-5 daily offering discounted gear sales, waxing and storage waxing service, rental skis for Bonanza Flat and snowshoes. Join us for farewell snow dances, beverages of choice and offerings to the Winter Goddesses of Khione, Poli’ahu, Skaòi, Beira, Kuraokami and Shakak today. The snow bunnies are packing their bags for spring break.

Our Annual Sale is underway! Come in and celebrate this season of endless spring skiing. Nearly all items 40% off. No sale prices on sunglasses, nutrition, sunscreen and a few other items. No returns, no holds, no exchanges on sale merchandise. Get in before we have to pack it all away!

Good morning Spruces Skiers. Wow, about a foot or so of new snow at Spruces. Reed and I sled packed and rolled today. It is compacted a bit but needs to be worked on more, we will get it again tomorrow. Snowing when I left.

Soldier Hollow

MORE SNOW!!!!!!! Great good fortunate 2 days in a row. Just snowing harder now, and had nearly an inch before earlier on our firmly groomed 2 km of trails. Please note that Pony Express is now an out and back. Please do not ski beyond the height of land onto the south-facing side! Come enjoy a wintery day of skiing!

Friday morning update: Last night’s snow only adds up to about 2-3 inches, and all pavement is bare or barely covered. Not possible to groom. Sigh. But Spruces got another 8 inches from this storm and is still being groomed regularly. Well worth a visit.

Thursday Haiku:
Suspended in wait,
Tied to the weather forecast,
Breathless for more snow.

Track is quite thin and icy in certain areas. Just did a quick refresh of the Upper Loop and half of the Lower Loop this morning. The northern part of the lower loop has pavement showing across the entire track width and the Jordan Pines Connector has a large dirt patch. Hopefully this weeks storm can get us back to full coverage. Sushi Scale: Battera

Soldier Hollow

CAUTION EARLY! Only the Sprint Loop was groomed well this morning!! The Upper Hollow and Cabin loop were groomed last night so are extremely firm and icy: Descending would be dangerous until the snow softens! Pony Express was not groomed so has icy ruts and a few bare spots on the south-facing hills. The southside of the sprint hill junction was tank treaded and the alternative path is not groomed and has bare spots. The ring around the snow retention pile, however, is nicely groomed. PLEASE BE SAFE IF YOU COME BEFORE THE SNOW IS SOFT! We apologize for the situation!
