Nordic Pulse

Update 1:36PM: The team is making snow again to take advantage of these cold temps and a portion of the Stadium is roped off. It will be obvious how to get around it and into or out of the trees. Please never duck around a rope or around a sign near snowmaking as there are hoses and power cables and lots of hazards.

Today's pic is of a skier cresting one of the hills in the middle of the Cabin Trail. We call this section the Ledges where the Cabin Trail is rolling and has sweeping views to the south. The team did a great job with a cribbing project where the trail is held up by a lot of logs on the downhill side of the trail. This section is still just wide enough for the grooming machines so always give wide berth if you are on the trails at the same time.

We are pinching ourselves after receiving another 3-5" of new snow last night and the team is packing and tracking it now before it blows around too much. This may be the first day of the year where the high temp won't reach the teens so wear the extra layer and don't forget the neckwarmer. Same trails as yesterday will be open PLUS Sleigh Road and Aither are now having their soft opening. All groomed trails have tracks, except Sleigh Road and Aither which are still on the thin side and not quite ready for us to track. While the coverage is very good right now, there are still some specific problem spots out there where the ground stayed warm and there's some ice/rocks coming through. One particular spot to call attention to is lower Parizo Downhill so ski with caution. As always, you can see the latest trail details in the list here and follow the live GPS-tracked groomers to see their progress.

There are some new features in Nordic Pulse to highlight this year:

*Our weather station is integrated into the map here with a bubble showing the current temperature. Our Canadian friends have Celsius as the default, but if you think in Fahrenheit and those low numbers are scaring you then change the units by clicking the hammer and screwdriver symbol in the top right of the map.

*Our Points of Interest (POIs) are updated with all the places to eat, park, sleep, and use the john now marked on the map.

*The webcam is integrated into Nordic Pulse for a live look of the Stadium.
