A lovely day for a ski. Wet snow yesterday should make it a little sticky early, but better later. Warming trend will definitely make you wax your skis up. Red wax will do for today. 3k and 5k groomed today. We’ll be grooming mid morning to let the moisture settle a little. Armstrong is rolled but not groomed. Ski with extreme caution if you go there. We’ll try to get the dog loop rolled later today as well.

Ski safe, be kind, buy your pass and have fun! Get going on your holiday wish list while we still have your size!

Some areas near Fairview received a lot of wet snow Saturday night but it was also variable. Moreover, temperatures promptly jumped into the 40’s and this week looks warm as well. What snow fell on the golf course is likely settling and melting off and leaving the area wet and slushy. Assume skiing is not possible until further notice.

We are almost open . . . but alas, due to the current warm and wet conditions, trails will remain closed. Further updates will be posted as snowmaking progresses and weather becomes more favorable. Thank you for your patience!! We look forward to seeing you on our trails very soon!!!!

Nordic Trail Conditions

Disappointing, and probably not worth trying to ski it Sunday. Much moisture, little accumulation. If you do head out, rock skis only. Any place you cross cart path or road surface you will almost certainly hit pavement.

White Pine

oh yes! another 4-5 inches of fresh wet snow means we are at 8 inches in this cycle. Heavy wet snow so get your wax on or you’ll be clomping. Soft sloooow sticky conditions early for skating. Best to wait until mid morning to let the snow firm for skating. Classic will be great with fresh track set if you’re waxed. This is what we’ve been waiting for.

Come out, buy or pick up your pass, ski with great Joy and enthusiasm.

Hi folks, welcome to another winter at Spruces. I groomed the upper loops today and put up the trail signs. It is still thin on the northern side and you may go down to pavement in a few spots. The lower loop still needs more snow to groom – I sled packed it today, but it is very thin and needs more snow. Have fun!

Skiing Sunday? Get it early. The forecast calls for several inches of snow overnight, and we plan to be hitting it hard starting at 6 A.M. Sunday. Normally we ask that you stay away when we are grooming out a fresh snowfall, but Sunday we are singing a different tune. Current hourly forecast (as of Saturday afternoon) has rain starting at around 11 A.M. Sunday. Up to a half inch of rain through the rest of Sunday. Skiing in rain is terrible. So come get it early, and plan to wrap it up by 11 A.M. Expect soft conditions, always a characteristic of freshly groomed snow. Expect machines on course until about 10 A.M. See you out there.

About 5 inches and counting here. Rolling of trails has started on about 11k of trails. It is packing down thin enough the trails remain closed but with enough additional accumulation tonight there is a chance of opening to season passholders starting tomorrow (Sunday December 3). Snowmaking on about 2k is progressing well so hopefully we will have some immaculate classic track before much longer.

Good Morning,

We received 4 inches of fresh snow overnight! We hope to add on another 10 inches between now and Sunday night. We will evaluate the track conditions on Monday and potentially open early next week.

Come get yourself ready for the upcoming Nordic Season! We just put out loads of new equipment from Atomic, new apparel from Rossignol, gloves from LillSport and socks from LeBent. We have a 25% discount off all our Nordic Merchandise for our amazing TUNA members. We also have Nordic ski passes available at a 20% off discount for TUNA members as well.

Have a great weekend,

3-4 inches of fresh snow. Shallow classic track set and skate packed on the 3km and 5km loops. Not yet on the Farm, Armstrong or Dog Loop. Please stay off of them so that government officials will be calmer. Skiing should be soft but quite good. fairly warm temps so wax accordingly. If your skis are sticking, come in and get some wax. All the new gear and clothing await you. And we have boots in your size right now. Park in the Hotel above or below ground. They have promised that the construction debris will be gone mid-month.

Ski safe, enjoy and be kind.

Nothing to get excited about yet here in Sanpete. Today we got the go ahead to set rebar in the ground and mark out the trails. We did so with snow falling off and on. Forecast is for more snow over the weekend (but followed by a mild week) so perhaps we will be able to get something going. I will note any changes in this column.

Snow! We know you are excited, and we are, too. Saturday morning will be our first chance this year to pack down the snow, and we ask for your help in letting us get some work done. For the good of the ski trail base, we ask that you consider staying off the Mountain Dell track while we are doing our first passes Saturday. If you can’t contain yourself, by all means DO NOT SKATE. The snow is not yet bonded and skate steps will just create trenches, making our task tougher. We will update on Saturday, and anticipate Sunday morning being much, much better. Buy your Mtn Dell season pass online or pay for your day pass from home. Thanks!

Happy December! Looks like some weather coming finally. We’ll update as needed, but still classic only on a thin base with unmarked hazards. If all goes well and the prognosticators are close, we’ll have enough to pack to set classic track and get all of you patient souls out skating. In the meantime, drop in get those skis waxed, pick up your pass before the big rush and start making your holiday gift list of new gear and clothing.

Be safe and be kind

Good Afternoon Jeremy Ranch Nordic Family,

We’re excited to get another year started on the Jeremy Ranch Nordic Trails. We hope to receive enough snow to open after this weekend!

Look forward to seeing you all soon,

More of the same conditions. A bit warmer this morning but skiing is still surprisingly good. Ski with care. CLASSIC ONLY no Skating. Come in and rent some classic skis if you need them because skiing is better than not skiing.

All sorts of new clothes and gear to look at when you come in to pick up your pass or drop off your skis for waxing.

Open 9-3 until we get a bit more snow!

Same as yesterday with a twist. CLASSIC SKIING ONLY for snow saving mode. Be aware of thin conditions and unmarked hazards. Pavement and grass featured in select locations. There are some shovels out on the 3km. Don’t be shy about stopping and throwing a scoop on to the thin spots during your workout. Think of it as community based weight training.

PCMR had to move a heavy crane across the 5km near the ponds yesterday to repair a snowmaking pump. Use extreme caution and awareness where they had to cross the trail and be thankful it had to be done now other than the week before Christmas.

Ski safe and treat each other well. More snow is coming! In the meantime, stop in and say Hi, pick up your pass and check out all the new gear!
