Nordic Pulse

Thursday, January 30th. 7:40am

As this extended stretch of sunny weather comes to an end, it appears we have arrived at the final day of blue sky and mild temps in the current high-pressure streak. The forecast shows nothing but snow from Friday through Monday, and total accumulations have the potential to bury our very firm ski surface under several feet of soft powder. While we have thoroughly enjoyed the snow-reprieve, sweet skating conditions, dry roads, and plentiful sunshine, we also love fresh snow! So, bring it on! 

 

The morning air temperature for this ski day is 20*F and headed for a high in the forties. Wispy clouds and a very light breeze complete the scene at the mountain. It's delightful, once again! Today's groomed terrain includes skate corduroy and parallel tracks throughout the Nordic network, less Leslie's and Todd Creek. The ski product remains firm and fast; nicely scalloped and grippy in some areas and a bit more transformed and inconsistent in others. The morning snow temperature is -16C / 3*F. All the snowshoe trails are open and in great shape. 

 

The Nordic Ski School is in full swing. We are mid-way through the first 3-Day Workshop of the season and have a few more of these ski-camp-style intermediate and advanced level workshops coming up in February. New four-week sessions of Nord in 4 Skate and Nord in 4 Classic begin in the week ahead and offer an all-inclusive introduction to skate or classic skiing: 4 lessons with rentals and a FULL Nordic Season Pass, plus 50% off next year's season pass. Senior's Skate, Senior's Classic, and She's On Skis are all about to kick-off new sessions too! And one of our favorite programs, Intro to Nordic Touring, is also slated to begin a new 4-week session next week and will introduce xc skiers to the techniques and terrain of off-piste skiing. In addition to this stacked selection of Nordic lesson programs, we also offer daily private lessons that can be completed tailored to your ability and goals for the session.
