Good morning! At 0745 it is 21°F/-6C. 3″ overnight. All trails groomed for classic and skate skiing. Skate track will be soft with excellent classic. Beautiful cold snow.
White Pine
We passed the Ides of March with a day of winter and snow. We’re looking at St. Patrick’s Day eve being a return to more breezy spring-like conditions by afternoon.
We’ll be grooming yesterday’s snow on the 3km, Practice Loop and Armstrong trails this morning. The Armstrong Loop is skiing quite well and worth taking off your skis to cross the road. Both trails will have classic track where possible and cappuccino foam corduroy early.
Temperatures will be rising with the afternoon sun and we’ll see sticky conditions by mid afternoon. We still have a mixed bag of slush and grassy areas right underneath the new snow, so pay attention. The best skiing will until about 3 today. Classic skiing will be quite good today again. There will be some glaze in the classic tracks due to the high moisture below the surface. We have icy patches, grassy patches, exposed pavement and wet areas under the snow and near the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely. It might be busy so ski to the right and share the trails. Please check in at the Nordic Center for any updates before you ski. The 5k, Dog Loop and Farm are CLOSED.
Wax will be the full rainbow of blue/violet/red/yellow with structure over the day today for kick and glide as temperatures rise. Spreading some good wax on those tips and tails of your equipment will help you glide. Please be aware of any icy or wet patches near the trails, on any pavement and on walkways. Walk with care in your ski boots and use the handrail on the stairs. Please no walking, dogs, running, cycling, driving or trespassing on the trails. When you need to take a physical and/or mental therapy getaway or a much needed break from the news we’re here for you. It will be a perfect day to drop off your skis for a hot wax spa treatment to keep you gliding. Sip a steaming mug of Joy, bundle up, be peaceful, venture out on the trails, be safe and be kind.

Mountain Dell
We plan to groom Sunday morning, and then, in accordance with our city contract, it is time to pack up all of the Mountain Dell grooming tools. The skiing was fun today on the limited track. For Sunday morning, we anticipate having portions of Main, Bypass, Boomerang and Wiggle Room in play. No classic track set, but the classic was fun today just the same. From the start of the course, ski backward on Main to Bypass. At the far end of Main there is a turn-around, making Main an out-and-back. Use caution crossing the cart paths. They should be obvious. Thanks for skiing Mountain Dell!
Spruces
Welp, finally managed to get a snowmobile really stuck. Didn’t get to much today cause of it and the sled is still out at the base of the Jordan Pines Connector Trail. Tried for a few hours to get it unstuck, but just ran out of energy. Will try again when I return to work next week, and hopefully will have some extra help. Sorry for the inconvenience, this isn’t ideal for anyone.
Mountain Dell
Come ski Mountain Dell today! Limited corduroy, unique configuration. Start by going backward on Main to Bypass. Follow the corduroy. Some of Main, Boomerang, Wiggle Room. No classic track, but the striding will be fun both on and off the groomed. Watch for thin spots, don’t bring your best skis. Have fun!

Good Morning,
We received another 1 inch of new accumulation in the overnight. Unfortunately, it is still not enough to get the lower trail open as the trail is still thin in most areas. The team will continue to pack daily to see if we can reopen parts of the lower trail later this weekend. The upper trail is now closed for the season. The forecast calls for some additional snow throughout the day and into tomorrow. If anything changes, we will update conditions as soon as we have new information available. Feel free to contact the Nordic Golf Shop with any questions.
Our “Spring into the Nordic Golf Shop Sale” is running through March. Come in and enjoy 40% off all in stock Nordic items along with Golf apparel, hats and shoes.

Soldier Hollow
Events: March 6th-15th we will be hosting Junior Nationals! Please consider volunteering or at least cheering them on.
Weather and Conditions: It is currently 26 F and overcast. There will be some snow showers throughout the day and a high of 36F
Ski Trail Conditions: We got 2 inch of snow! It looks gorgeous out there – the surface is groomed to perfection – fast, but with a little comfort mixed in. North Stadium and Cabin Loop are open to public skiing all day.
Snowshoeing: Our trails are mostly melted out, so we suggest traveling higher to access more snow.
White Pine
It looks like an actual winter-like day today! Another inch of fresh snow with some breeze and additional snowflakes this morning. We are packing and grooming the 3km and Armstrong this morning. The Armstrong Loop is quite good with a bit more snow on it. Both trails will be skiable today and colder temperatures should help out keeping the snow around and the surface soft and creamy.
We still have a mixed bag of slush and grassy areas right underneath the new snow, so pay attention. The best skiing will be all day today. Skating will be slow but pretty good. Classic skiing will be quite good today as well. There will be some glaze in the classic tracks due to the high moisture below. We have icy patches, grassy patches, exposed pavement and wet areas under the snow and near the trail so keep your eyes open, stay alert and ski safely. It might be busy so ski to the right and share the trails.
Please check in at the Nordic Center for any updates from the Magic 8 Ball. The 5k, Dog Loop and Farm are CLOSED. Wax will be blue/violet with structure today for kick and glide. Well-waxed fish scales or skin skis for classic are also recommended.
Please be aware of any icy or wet patches near the trails, on any pavement and on walkways. Walk with care in your ski boots and use the handrail on the stairs. Please no walking, dogs, running, cycling, driving or trespassing on the trails. When you need to take a physical and/or mental therapy getaway or a much needed break from the news we’re here for you. It will be a perfect day to drop off your skis for a warm wax spa treatment to keep you gliding. Sip a steaming mug of Joy, bundle up, venture boldly out on the trails, be safe and be kind. Thank you for being part of our wonderful ski community and being patient enough to read all the way down here to far end of the trail report!

Good morning! At 0745 it is 14°F with 3″ overnight and snow currently falling. All trails groomed. Anticipate soft skate conditions with beautiful classic. Snow is expected to accumulate on the tracks today.
SR-65
No go. We had more snow this morning in our yard than at the gate (2″). There was 5″ half way to the restroom and 12″ at the top. The sun and asphalt melted all of the snow in the first mile or more by early afternoon. Equipment will be in place for another week but it’s very unlikely the next storms will be produce more than this one. Would love to be wrong. Who doesn’t love a surprise happy ending?!
Spruces
Quite of bit of overnight snow, guessing 12″+ in some areas. With this much snow, only had time to pack all of the Upper and Lower Spruces Loops. Would have done Jordan Pines as well, but my phone died and didn’t want to risk it out there by myself. Planning on rolling/using the single track tomorrow morning.
Please have patience, our ability to groom Spruces is reduced.
Soldier Hollow
Quick update – due to scheduling changes, public skiing will be available today on all open trails from 2:45-4:30 pm

Mountain Dell
Nope. Looks pretty, but is extremely thin. Fun exploring to be had on classic skis away from the track. We’ll try again tomorrow.
Soldier Hollow
We got an inch of snow! It looks like a frosted gingerbread house out here – or ginger pi! Happy Pi Day! Groomed to perfection. We will have a 1 km loop open all day for the public – North Stadium and Cabin Loop – while we enjoy watching the juniors skate their mass starts!
Solitude Nordic
Good morning! 11″ overnight and 14°F at 0800. All trails groomed, but limited classic. Heavy snow falling and snow will accumulate on the tracks all day.
