Nordic Pulse

Sunday, April 6th. 7:40am

First light revealed a rosy sunrise and a streaky patchwork of clouds overhead. Red sky in the morning, snow is coming! Well, truthfully, this system might start out on the wetter side, but eventually snow is coming. It's 28*F as the base area. Today's forecast calls for a calm and mild morning with temps in the 40's followed by the arrival of some precipitation in the afternoon and evening. A changeover to snow is expected during the night, followed by a few days of light snow accumulations. 

 

Increased humidity, cloud cover, and warming temps helped the corduroy smooth out nicely during the grooming rounds this morning. 100% of the Nordic network is sporting fresh skate corduroy and classic tracks. The snow temp has warmed to -3C / 27*F and is granular but malleable in texture. Nice stuff! The full gamut of snowshoe trails is prepped and open today as well. Head out on the Yellow, Orange, or Red Snowshoe Trail to see the snowy landscape from new vantage points and get a heck of a leg workout while you're at it. 

 

Spring racing season is ramping up with Pole Pedal Paddle and Cascade Crest fast approaching. For anyone looking to maximize their Nordic ski game this spring for racing or pleasure, we are still offering daily private lessons at 9am, 11am, and 1pm. Use the 90-minute lesson to dial in your technique, focus on uphill efficiency, power generation, downhill confidence, or drill into your burning questions. For those who are newer to skate or classic skiing, the daily drop-in group lessons may be the ticket. We offer $55, 90-minute group skate lessons at 11am and group classic lessons at 1pm every day (Wednesday through Sunday).
