Groomed for skate and classic to the first switchback above Affleck Park. The heavy snow packed well and groomed nicely, but the classic lane was a bit ill defined in places below the restroom. Only one skate skier left descending tracks when we left near sunset. The hard freeze overnight will result in a flat and fast track in the morning. We normally are done grooming by now, so come experience bonus time in the canyon!

Good Morning,
We will not be grooming today due to the overnight and early morning rainy conditions. We will pack it down and reset it tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience!
Have a great day,

Wet snow from rain this morning and last night. Around half of the trails groomed last night, and the rest groomed within 1-3 days. With continued rain and higher temperatures, it is likely to get slushy as the day goes on, so come and enjoy a ski in the rain early today!
Solitude Nordic
All trails groomed for skate and classic. 6-12 inches of new snow overnight, and snowing heavily now. Snow is heavy, wet, and warm. 32° at 8am, temps dropping slightly throughout the day.
Mountain Dell
We will not be grooming Wednesday morning to allow moisture to percolate out of the snowpack. As of 7 A.M. Wednesday, a few inches of fresh snow has fallen, but it is warm and wet and we will make a mess by driving on it. Still plenty of ski days to come on the Mountain Dell track this month, as we wrap up this most amazing winter. Thanks.
Spruces
Groomed Spruces and Jordan Pines this morning. Left the classic track from yesterday. Sun is peeking out, nice day. I will groom for about another month and then will put the equipment away. Come out and ski before the season’s over.
Jeremy Ranch
Good Morning,
The upper and lower tracks have been groomed for skate. We were unable to reset the classic lane on both tracks because of the icy conditions. The track will soften up later this morning once it warms up into the low 40s. It’ll be a beautiful bluebird morning to come ski before we see some afternoon rain showers. Snow is expected in the overnight to hopefully allow us to reset a new classic lane.
We have a couple of days remaining on our Luck of the Jer Sale. 40% off in stock ski equipment, apparel and wax accessories. All in stock golf apparel, shoes and hats are all 40% off as well. So come up to Jeremy Ranch, enjoy a great ski and have a “Shop Around”!!
Have a great week,

Happy pi day. But eating pie is close enough. Especially if you have earned it by getting a good nordic ski workout in. Do this quickly, as in right NOW (845am) as the 40 percent of the trails that were groomed are in super fast tip top skating shape right now. There will likely be slush by later so if you are more timid time your visit to have as soft and forgiving of snow as you like. There is even some crust cruising to be had on the open meadows between groomed trails.
Solitude Nordic
Trace overnight and 25°F/-4°C at 0800. Trace of snow on most tracks from yesterday. Main thouroughfares groomed. Beautiful skiing.
White Pine
A bit of mixed weather today. Temperatures will be warm before the storm. Crunchy crust conditions early should soften by mid morning. Red wax day with structure later as the wind warms the air. Skating will be very exciting early, classic tracks are solid and softening through the day. Spring conditions are finally here with more snow expected beginning tonight.
Skis and boots are going quickly during the sale, get in now while we have some good selection of skate skis. Clothing is still 50% off.
Final WCS race of the Season will be at the Farm Trail Saturday March 18th. Register before Thursday night. Participation gifts, season awards and every bit of remaining raffle prizes will be handed out after the race. All activities will be outdoors, the St. Mary’s social hall has an event booked in the evening that needs to be set up. Please carpool!
Mountain Dell
Tonight we groomed and reset everything for classic and skate. World Cup was mostly groomed (got stuck at the top and didn’t attempt another ascent in the rain). If it doesn’t rain more and freezes tonight, the conditions will be great until it rains again tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately it’s not forecast to get below freezing tonight, but cross our fingers. Either way, skiing this afternoon was still good despite the warmer temperatures. The snowpack below is still holding firm in most places and has excellent coverage.
Cheers, Brock and Dan
Spruces
Spruces groomed for skate and classic skiing. A bit soft, but beautiful snow!

Solitude Nordic
Good morning! 1″ new snow overnight and 22°F/-6°C/267.60 Kelvin at 0820.
All trails groomed for skate and classic skiing.
White Pine
Mixed weather today with high humidity. Light snow flurries , fog and/or sun expected throughout the day with warm temperatures. All trails groomed and open for classic and skate. Red wax and ski structure for today. Classic should be great, skate will be super with the right wax and base structure.
Help us remind walkers, dog walkers and snowshoers to stay off the Farm trail (and the other White Pine trails). Our trails are a fee area in the Winter season and White Pine pays for access as part of our contract. Help us track down the snowshoers who are climbing over the fence from the church without authorization. Walking on the trail creates holes and can be dangerous for skiers and difficult for groomers.
Our sale continues, 50% off clothes, 40% off skis, boots and poles. Get in here!
Mountain Dell
Mountain Dell was groomed for skate and classic on all trails Sunday night for Monday skiing. If it cools off, it should be some good skiing. if it does not cool off it will be soft. If it does not snow tonight expect klister skiing for classic wax.
