Sunset Loop  and  Midway  groomed this morning.

Hello skiers! We have rolled the trails in hopes that a good base will form for future snow.  Come on out on your rock skis if you wish to get some early early season skiing in with no classic tracks set.  We are excited to have Nordic Pulse as our...

Warmer this morning so easier to work over the base. Track is solid, skiing is fair. 

Refreshed skate lanes on lighted loops and several of the dark trails. Still making snow on SML and in Stadium please ski with caution. Have a great day!

Trail groomed for skate and classic Wednesday night to the outhouse. 

We groomed all the open trails tonight in preparation for the rain tomorrow. I don't think we will be out again until the snow returns sometime on Saturday. All the closed trails were track packed with the snowcat today. They look ugly and will ski even worse but th...

McNeil's 5/7k, Eveline Perimeter, and Wolf Meadow are looking nice for skating. Classic track set in most of that route. Wolf Ridge and some secondary trails are rolled and may make a nice tour, but early season hazards exist and a base still needs to develop. 

Jim scuffed up the 5k and sidewalk skate lanes.

Still looking really nice out there! Not enough of a snowpack to "groom" yet, but we did drag the ginzu around today to try and smooth things out a bit.  Enjoy!

11/21 8:30am. 43F! Groomers will stay off the course today. Here's a photo of sunrise yesterday. It's from Taro getting "First tracks" as usual. ww

The temperature stayed below freezing and we received another 8 to 10 inches of snow overnight. It is snowing lightly at the time of the report. The parking lot has been plowed.

Cleaned up the skate lanes on the majority of the park and CHS side. The track that is set is all we get until more snow, so please be kind. Have a great day!

Lots of new snow today 5" but the grooming was done this evening. Temps are cold, near 10 degrees, trail is packed powder now but should settle well overnight. We'll try to get a classic track in tomorrow. Tomorrow is THE day to carve out some time to ski at Bruce's. 

Winter Multi-Use (WMU) has been snowmobile track-packed.  We'll likely be out later today to roller compact some of the ski trails, but we're also expecting things to melt out later this week with forecasted rain & warmer daytime temps.  It's going to take us a l...

Went back to Bartlett with the snowmachine and track pan. Made two passes...one to scratch up the skate lane and one to set track. Came out OK.

Groomed partial with classic track 

1 inch of new snow. All trails and loops groomed for skate and classicNordic skiing. Good early season conditions exist. Still thin in spots. New snow definitely improved conditions.  

We got 4" of new snow overnight. Most trails at Skyway & County Lined were snowcat groomed. Sunset was groomed with snowmobile. Summit and Vista Valley are still not ready to go, but just about everything else is freshly groomed. Beware: there's still a lot of water in Vis...

The new snow has been groomed on the trail system and the Stadium. No ruts left with decent coverage. Have fun!

This morning marked the first snowmaking shift of the season... the photos say it all! Beautiful morning & fun to see everyone out. There are some piles on the south pump house hill & soft snow to watch for around the pumphouse- please ski with caution.

Hello again -  The big question buzzing through the Nordic community is: When will the Eldora Nordic trails open? With the current trail conditions and snow forecast, it’s too early to set an exact opening day. But we have some fantastic news to share! While ...

Thank you to all our awesome staff and customers.  It's been a great season...  Looking forward to seeing you all 2024/2025.

Welcome to the Nordic Pulse community!

Good afternoon all,  It's that time of the season where the snow goes and mud shows. All trails are closed to all traffic until things dry out. Thanks so much! 

Frost! Not enough to ski (haha) - but an encouraging sign that the season will begin soon. This is our first morning below freezing, and for the first time ever we will be ready to make snow as soon as temperatures permit! Mike, Korry, Welly and the whole crew have been...

The snow is rapidly receding.We are not encouraging skiing at this point; a few dedicated skiers are still going out, but you have to expect extended sections of walking.  Thank you for making a very challenging season worthwhile!!  

Some patchy/wet spots still out there but solid conditions 

Grooming has been completed at Hatchery, Mosquito Brook, OO, and at Birkie Trail head.  The Birkie trail between Hatchery Park and Mosquito Brook has one classic track set, and is in good shape, but base is thin and will likely have a few bare spots in the next days. Deck...

Classic tracks are intermittent based on snow conditions. 

All trail groomed great skiing some tracks

Today is our final day of grooming. It's been a great season, but the dirt and mud is making it difficult.  Bulldogger to North Star, Finlandia, Out and Back to Heja and Tipple have been groomed. Enjoy and I cannot wait for next season....

Stilson turned out very good as well! It's a little on the soft side but should ski great!

Starting plowing the windy mile at the south end so more people can bike to avoid the sweet traffic 

Baker Creek, Newman, Norton, Silver Creek Loop, Boulder loop , and Phantom Hill Loop have been groomed

In all probability, this is the last groom on Seeley Creek this year. A pass was made with the PB 100: some bare spots, most covered well, but there is not much more snow to find and push over the bare ground beginning to show, Tomorrow's forecast is close to 50F. Best skiing ...

Short 300m loop on the power line groomed for skating. Use rock skis.

The snow groomed up surprisingly well this morning. The southwest segment of Marsh was not groomed because of thin coverage.  The rest should ski pretty well.  Even so this may be the last groom of the season because of this unusually low snow year.

Beautiful conditions 6+" throughout the Park!  Rolled all trails to double width. Set classic track around courts at Orchard Hill. Come on out and enjoy the best conditions of the season!

Refreshed track for 2 miles. Further track still in good shape. 

Dragged the golf course this morning. Fairly thin but still skiable. Did three passes in the dornblaser loop despite them not being on the map. Probably the last day to skate with your dog. Go get it. Take your time and check it out before you drop the hammer. 

Groomed this morning. Conditions should be excellent once it sets up.

Just enough snow for a pleasant snowshoe or ski in the open fields. Enjoy!!

Stop by the Shoppes for a snowshoe/ski...and be sure to wander indoors for an amazing display of localness.

Rolled a bit in AM 3/4. Quite damp out there. Snow was not as tacky as I expected, but did not compress as much as desired. Enjoy this snowfall while it lingers. North Meadow: Particularly wet paralleling Douglas RD south of Cobblestone House. Left the interior trails f...

The Mahaffey Loop got the trail edges pushed out today.  It will be very soft on the sides but about a meter more wide in sections.  Great time for someone to set a classic track on the edge.   Patrick may head out again tomorrow.  It's about as good as it ...
