FOR MONDAY DEC 30 - TRAILS ARE OPEN: 8:30AM-5PM  Expecting a cold sunny day. The little bit of fresh snow from Sunday should groom up well. Check the map for what's open and groomed. If you are new to cross countr...

Groomed at least two passes with cat Sunday morning. Except Lyle's and Scott's which only have a classic track and one pass so skate lane is narrow. Wet snow has been falling all morning in but  only about an inch has come down. All snow so far.  T...

About an inch of snow since 6:00 am and still snowing. Fresh snow should ski nicely on what we groomed yesterday. PistenBully groomed small area around the Lodge. Open for skiing this week. $5 trail passes. No dogs on trails yet. Soup, crepes, and baked goods in the Lodg...

Received about two inches of new snow last night. Much better coverage today; most of the thin patches are now white, with a few icy areas under large trees. No classic yet, but very close, maybe tomorrow. Doug

Groomed this morning and things have firmed right up as the temps finally dropped below freezing. Surface is hard with a little light snow that was falling during predawn. Perhaps a 1/2 inch or so.  The good news is that the old tracks, ruts, and footprints smoothed out v...

12/29/24Welcome back, winter; it's snowing this morning!  The Intermediate Skate Skiing Clinic @ 9:30AM today has two spaces left.

Good morning, Snow is still falling and it is very windy. Lots of drifting on trails especially in open areas so we are out this morning and will be for a while to try and clean things up in the cats. High winds expected throughout the day so bring your wind jack...

3 groomers are still out grinding up the hard pack. They will be done by 9:30-10:00. We groomed up about 15 k of combination trails. We left the classic tracks alone, they are glazed, shallow and icy. The ground up surface in the skate lanes is transformed, snow cone like text...

Crews are still out working this morning and are  grooming the skate plateforms, leaving the classic tracks. It's currently snowing.  The road to echo is currently  narrow and the Forest Service will be widening it with heavy equipment on Monday morning.  H...

Everything groomed around the lodge except psycho and Emma's Gulch.  Tirus is closer due to avalanche danger.

Welcome to the Nordic Pulse Community!

Yesterday's slush froze over night, making grooming a little tricky, but Aaron did his best to break up the ice & he was able to lay down a fresh skate deck and set Classic tracks on both the Ned & Betty Kuch & Barb's Meadow Loops. It's forecast to hit 42 to...

We had better grooming conditions tonight. As it actually froze, there is fresh classic and skate Deck laid down. There is a lot of dirt on Trish's loop. Be aware there is also organic material as well as tree bombs on the trail. I hope everybody has fun today.  Thanks ag...

Sunset had a dusting of new snow early this morning.  Fresh tracks and corduroy set on the .5 km loop. 

Monday: More snow overnight should allow a good reset of both classic and skate tracks.  Will begin grooming by 8am.

Upper trails the two loops in the golf course and Ranch loop were all groomed last night and buffed out nicely. Looks like the next storm system is here for another dump. Get some stay safe and happy new year. 

Goooood morning Mt Spokane. We’re currently getting dumped on with some beautiful white fluffy stuff. This snow is way better to work with than the snow we’ve had these last few days. We spent quite a bit of time fixing Quartz and widening Mica and it feels like a ...

Another transition from rain to freezing temperatures necessitated two passes over the trails to smooth things out & create a pliable ski surface. Good news is, it should be a day of fast & firm-yet-forgiving conditions. With temps forecast to remain below freezing thr...

High traffic trails on the chalet side, the stadium and the Christie.

Tonight we groomed and track set Old Highway, low snow loops, Overlook including the upper Overlook access, Rattlesnake, and Arts Meadow.  4in new snow at lower gate but closer to 8in+ of new snow for most of Overlook and Rattlesnake. 

Lactic Grande Nordic trail is closed till further notice. 

We have groomed this afternoon after the rain has stopped, and had a fairly good result. We will be opening our snowmaking loops again. Of note for Sunday morning, there will be a small high school race using the loops from 8:30 am to 9:45 am. It will be fairly low impact and ...

We are not sure what is going on with the weather, isn't this supposed to be winter?? We can only imagine how much snow we would have this winter if the temps were low enough that we were getting snow instead of rain.. ...

Pretty much all trails were refreshed today. New classic runs on heja/tipple/finlandia/out and back, lazy eight/roundabout/wagonroad, and Ginny. Light passes on Perry pass and rodeo. Both remain thin but could be ran today and maybe tomorrow! 

Watch for loose and uneven snow that was hauled in to cover bare areas on wolf, coyote, lynx, squirrel, and rabbit trails. 

Was able to scratch up the ice and smooth the trails out. If you are on skies watch out for exposed dirt chucks from frost heaves. Frost heaves are so bad I don't think we will be able groom Slikok until we get more snow. 

Lots of McNeil in great shape to skate ski. No classic track set yet. Don't be deterred by the gross glaciated condition of the school trailhead. 

12/29/2024, Sun. 4pm, Round Meadow Grooming Report, 30-32°F, no wind, snowing, overcast.  Rolled Gerrys Way, Round Meadow Loop-N, & Chechako. Chechako-W & Round Meadow Loop-S have significant rocks melted through. Very uneven as thin co...

All good! Fast! ww

Most trails groomed yesterday. We had an issue with the snowmobile that went out yesterday afternoon to pick up race course markers,  so we're going out to take care of that, and will groom the few trails we didn't get to yesterday while we're at it. Next groom will be Tu...

December 29th Grooming Report Impressive Cornice!   All the heavy snow of recent days, coupled with some pretty warm temps today has resulted in an impressive co...

Good afternoon. Town park has been groomed for skate skiing but due to lack of snow classic tracks have not. Enjoy and happy holidays.

Lake Creek has been groomed. The snow that fell helped the trail conditions. Enjoy

Yes it is the sun!!!☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Snowcat grooming on Trout trails this morning for skate lane. Most classic track left intact and is skiing well. Very good conditions today with plenty of sun.

The good news — we are holding snow quite well on our machine made trails. To preserve our surface we will be closed to the public today. There is no natural snow. Forecast looks very promising starting on New Year’s Day and we will be re...

The conditions below the bench were icy this morning but made several passes to make it more skieable. Above the bench it's thin but more snow mixed in, a few rocks are showing through here and there. Above the outhouse to the bridge is firm snow with pretty good coverage and ...

With yesterday’s fresh snow, we are able to open once again! The skiing is remarkably good, and we were able to expand off the roller loop to offer up some bonus rock skiing as well! Please continue to ski in a clockwise direction on the roller loop to avoid any crashes ...

A dreary day!  Trails are Closed. We had a beautiful week of packed powder skiing but sadly, the rain today has washed the trails down to ice and slush.  Hopefully, we can hold on to enough base and the snow will return on New Year's Day. Do y...

All trails closed today.  Call for details.  603-466-2333

Heading up to groom skate lane and reset classic.

Rain, rain, go the heck away...we had a great five hours yesterday and then just an OK three hours the rest of the day once the rain started. It looks like the rain will keep falling until about noon today, but then clear for the afternoon....

Ppppssssssssssssssss......the balloon has been popped. Unfortunate rain and warm air settling in for certain. No grooming tonight. Snowmaking trails will remain open until further notice and we'll be back to freshen up that surface as soon as possible.  Natural snow trail...

It's still white on the trails! No grooming overnight due to the warm temps and rain.   Trails are still very skiable and currently just a light drizzle.  We will begin pushing out the snowmaking pile tomorrow on Flatlander and resume snowmaking when the temps a...

Mother Nature delivered! The answer to your question is the opened Nordic trails and hours are unchanged. We are working hard to get what everyone wants - more trails and extended hours. We will announce these changes on our website, here on Nordic Pulse, and via text alert (s...

All trails groomed. Classic track is set. Conditions are soft.

Rolled tonight (12/28): East Field, Elk View, Northern Lights, Silver Fox Cuttoff, and Practice Field near parking lot. 

Heading out this morning to try to put in happy hour BPA Rd., East and Sherman Springs access. I plan to be done by 9 AM.

Good morning all, The trails will be closed to all traffic today. Please check our facebook page for more updates. be well all, see you out there soon!

The groomers continue to work hard to keep the trails packed throughout the storms. Skiing is soft and snowy right now, we plan to get good tracks in early this week.

Groomed all trails Friday Night.  Will go several more times this weekend during the storm.

I took the snowmobile and roller up the Cache Creek road to the end of Hagen.

Clay, Nick, Falk, and Chris shoveled tons of snow onto obstacles at Cutler today. Clay and Nick then touched up the southern trails and the meadow with the rollers.  There is a lot of snow in the forecast! Stay tuned for more info about how the groomers...

The groomers are working hard to pack down all the new snow. Expect soft and stormy conditions through the weekend with full trails in next week.

Was able to get the snowmobile working long enough to groom a sparrow farm fields, Marjorie's field and West Wind meadow but Groomer stopped working and the snow in the woods was too thin to do more with the Groomer

Today was the last day of grooming for the county, thank you guys for an awesome season. See you all again next winter!

Great snow. Classic track groomed on Riverside, Boundary and Baker's Hole trails.

The levee is the place to be, it's the only spot with enough snow to have a solid track for now!

Storm skiing will be the headline this weekend as high winds and wintery weather are forecasted through Monday. Skiers looking to venture out onto the trails may want to consider using touring or classic style skis as drifts will frequent the course. Reminder that classic trac...

Packed powder with some thin spots and 5K of track! Come on up and enjoy the day :)

Closed until we get more snow, cross your fingers!

No grooming on Monday due to the warm temperatures and rain while we want to preserve the snow base.  Whitaker House is closed.

Warm overnight and a well-loved snow surface that is also the base led to limited grooming last night. With the warm temperature the natural snow trails (which is most of them) will ski nicely, and if you want fresh corduroy and crisp tracks you will find them on the newly exp...

Trails are still hard but made several passes to scuff them up. Not the best for skiing right now.

Some parts of the competition loops, Easy Street, Skidder, and some parts of Loggers Loop has been Pisten Bully groomed before the warm spell.  There is track set on Easy Street, Skidder. Jenkins Mountain Trail and the Competition Loops have no trackset. Most of the remai...

Nice conditions and a fresh groom Friday night for skate and classic. The upper half had fresh snow of about an 1.5 inches. 

All groomed up for the weekend. 19F at 10:30PM. Lots of foot and ski traffic ha made grooming tricky. It's rock hard like grooming cement. Hope for more snow! 

Doug rolled all the trails earlier and put down classic tracks as well. Just back from tuning up the skate deck. Noticed that someone had been out on a fat bike.  This leaves quite a rut that takes a while to groom out. If you see others out on bikes, kindly let th...

Going to be grooming Driggs track this morning. Will report back on conditions and grooming. 

Hanna Grove piste is alittle soft but elsewhere trails are good to great. 

Shady Rest was groomed today, but due to a lack of snow, we will not be able to maintain the system until more snow arrives. 

Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain

Groomed for skate. Thin in spots. 

Bryce made a heroic effort to groom the snowshoe/fatbike trails. Will it be rideable on Friday? Of course not—it never is right after a storm. It'll be a while before it's firm enough to ride again. Sorry, folks, but that’s how fat biking works.
