Nordic Pulse

Cold-soaked and hard base. Local weather observation showed clear skies, unlimited visibility, and temperature well below zero (0) F. Scuffed lighted trails and Gasline.  Fair(-) result. 

Snowmachine groomed Jodhpur, Margaux's, Elliot's and first half of the Mize. Cat groomed the stadium, biathlon and Green loop. The recent wind has left numerous patches of ice and tree debris on the trails! There is active snowmaking in the Stadium and on Dark Alley. Please, b...

Put some snow in the inbound tunnel try not to kick too hard in there it's not going to have a lot of set for a bit. Tried to smooth the outer loops up a little bit. This frost heaving is getting to be a little hard on the eyes.

Still a bit of ice heaves with plenty of little humps here and there. Rock skis are suggested. Three passes on all. 

Made three passes over the light and fluffy snow. Of course the base is icy, but was able to cut it a bit. Probably decent skiing but watch for slippery spots. Have a great weekend!

A few inches of very light new snow. There is still an ice layer underneath but hopefully some bonding will take place. Made four passes with the snowmachine and compaction wing. Enjoy! 

1-2 inches of new snow at Glen Alps. DNR snowmachine groomed the trail from Glen Alps Trailhead to Ptarmigan Pass intersection which is now in much better shape with only a couple of rocks poking through.
