Nordic Pulse

Sunday 14-Dec'25.

SHORT VERSION:  Good skate & classic skiing conditions on the artificial loop.

.

CONDITIONS: A smattering of fresh snow, followed by a smattering of fresh freezing r--n overnite. The Loop groomed & trackset nicely early this morning with the snowcat. However, there isn't much that the grooming staff can do to make anything else easily skiable today. The freezing rain did NOT enhance the skiability of the rest of the trails. The roller won't do anything to the surface, and there is not quite enough snow to use the ginzoo equipment to make the surface skiable.   Otway Road is a little slippery this morning, esp in the shaded stretches, so take care on the drive out.

The artifical snow covers a CLOCKWISE 1.2 loop: Cross country stadium, biathlon stadium, SuperSprint, Snoopy's Corner, Paranordic cutoff, Nite Rider for an itty bit, then down Homecoming and back to the cross country stadium.

.  

The Barking Lot is open which means dogs and owners are welcome to ski the dog trails.  Dogs: Make sure your owners are aware of this. A bit of active barking if they blissfully drive past the Barking Lot entrance might help. If they still don't get the message, just refuse to get out of the car if they park in the wrong lot! A slim possibility they might then drag you off to the vet to investigate a potential person canine-ality disorder, but worth the risk.

NOTE:  We are still having technical difficulties reporting Grooming &  Trackset on the Loop, but Nordic Pulse IT support is helping us work thru that.
