Good morning skiers….
The tracks have firmed up nicely following Fridays wet and heavy storm. All loops groomed for skate. Classic was not reset as it remains satisfactory, but might start glazing in spots.
The lower loop beyond Cullen’s cutoff is now open. The classic lane on Lower loop was difficult to set in the firm surface. Beware of a momma moose and her baby enjoying some of our tracks at Mtn Dell. Should be a great day to skate!

Yesterdays storm delivered 4-5″ new wet and heavy snow – but no rain. (ideal for making snowmen). All loops were groomed for skate and classic with exception of the lower loop beyond Cullens which was sled packed only. Still a bit soft in places but as it sets up should be great skiing. You will find some occasional lumps on the skate lanes as the heavy wet snow would ball up underneath our machines and then decide to fall off. A herd of elk is now residing on the Creek Loop. They are more interested in finding grass to eat than passing skiers but use caution. As usual, the parking area can be slippery…be careful! Enjoy the weekend skiing Mtn Dell.

As of 10 AM, there’s about 6 inches of the Cascades finest powder snow We groomed main, mitten, kids cut off , and lollipop. Groomed for skate and classic, but more snow is falling and conditions are very soft. You’ll get a workout on your skate skis today and waxing for classic should be interesting but it’s a gorgeous winter day at mountain Del come up and have some fun and help pack out the track.

Steve and Kenton are on course Friday morning knocking down 5+ inches of fresh. Goal is to have Main, Mitten, Kids and Lollipop groomed this morning for skate and classic, Perhaps a second crew will push out further midday.
