Nordic Pulse

Gladiator, horse cr. connector, psycho out and back, horse cr loop, Northwood, and the cabin loop all groomed. Watch out for hazards

Gladiator loops as well as senate meadow and horse creek connector, horse creek. North fork and cabin loop has all been groomed for classic and skate. If you go in the evening be careful of creek running under the run and lots of dirt and rocks showing. Enjoy!

All good things come to an end- With this great meltdown of March 2026, Alturas trails have developed bare sections and sheet ice.  So we are finished grooming for the season at Alturas. In spite of a late start and early end we have had some of the best continuous...

All good things come to an end- With this great meltdown of March 2026, we are finished grooming for the season at Park Creek. In spite of a late start and early end we have had some of the best continuous skiing ever thanks to Mother Nature and Karl, Colin, Luke and Tara....

The skiing is pretty good from exit A to the bottom of superior with good coverage. Conditions are soft but it's looking like this might be the last day of grooming as there are multiple bare spots on the highway. We will update Nordic pulse if this is the case. 

Grooming has finished for the season.  Although many trails still have good snow cover there are enough hazards that it is time to put the grooming equipment away until next year.  Thank you everyone for a great season. We've had 80 days of skiing this year at...

We hope to see you in the winter 26/27. 

See y'all next winter 26/27. 

It's rough out there: standing water, slush, frozen ponds, brown spots.  Go farther north for a higher quality ski. Rain and light snow is in the forecast for this afternoon, this evening, and tomorrow. We could get enough snow to cover up this ice...

Main Nordic trails ( Wolf Teack, Red Tail & Discovery) groomed, with good Corduroy. No Classic tracks, and no grooming on Golf Course

This is likely our last weekend for skiing given the limited base and with warmer temperatures forecast next week. Enjoy it now while we can.  It is fast in the morning. Most people will want to wait until late morning when it softens up a bit. 

See y'all next winter 26/27.

Fingers crossed for a proper winter in 26/27. Enjoy the summertime trails at Southern Valley.

Well, after a winter that never really got going on the Valley County Pathways winter trail system it appears that spring is arriving early.  We've suspended grooming for the season but on the bright side with as little snow that's on the Rail Trail hopefully it will melt...

WET groomed from Hulen down to saddle. Classic from Adams to Hulen. Will continue to groom these sections when it snows.

Conditions are not good. Went over race course and ermine finding many dirt spots, too many to fill. Take care especially on down hills!

We have concluded our grooming operations for the season.  Hopefully we have better snow conditions next year.

Current Snow Conditions are good out there on the Golf Course today. With 6 inches of new snow and cold temps, the trail should hold up for a few days at least. Classic tracks and skate have been laid out, although the skate lane is fairly narrow. Hopefully the crew can get ou...

We hope to see you on the winter trails in 26/27.

All trails groomed, but didn't set tracks quite yet.  Surprisingly good conditions.  Lots of corduroy! Special thanks to Jim for the excellent pre-season brush mowing. Come out and ski or snowshoe and enjoy the solitude here at Chipmunk. scott

Already looking forward to winter 26/27.

We hope to see you on the winter trails in 26/27.

BCRD season passes are on sale and we are waiting on snow! Time to start doing your snow dances!
