Nordic Pulse

Warmer temperatures with high wind gusts. Watch out for blowing debris on the trails.  Be safe with possible blowing trees down. Early skier reported great skiing. 

Good Monday morning! 15F wind continues. "First Tracks" Taro is out there.

Trees are down on trails. Ops Crew will be out today clearing a path. This morning used a Pb 100 to deglaze surface and sweep the tree FOD off of Margaux and Jodhpur trail. Skate lane only. Use caution if you are out on the trails!

Happy Monday, folks! Snowmachine groomed all lighted trails, gasline w/ south bivouac connector, sahalee & trailside connectors, and TOA to Abbot loop trail. The trail pack is firm with decent skiing to be had. Enjoy. 

High winds are causing concern about the sublimation of the snow. No new grooming but the crew plans to go out and look for downed trees. We'll assess once the winds subside. Have a great Sunday!

25 mile loop groomed Friday evening 12/12,  great conditions, wide enough for skating and track set.  About 1 km between boneyard and confluence not groomed due to brush and low cover but chilkat side is groomed to confluence.  Still a big brown bear hiking arou...

Made 3-4 passes, nothing new to report. Should ski well.

Four passes on everything. Trails are still looking good.

The gate will be closed after the next storm cycle early next week, so it's possible someone could drive on the trail until then. 12/9 was beautiful and a lot less windy than in town. Enjoy! 

Got a few small loops groomed in the fairgrounds. Enjoy the sun while we've got it! We're hoping to groomed Chilkoot Lake Rd with state parks this afternoon, and will update here if that happens. 12/9/25 

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

Groomed upper 5k and Austrian Ave with steel drag. Trail is flat with some nice sections but lots of grass, roots, dirt showing through so be careful, especially on hills. Still excavation going on at dog parking lot.
