Nordic Pulse

We are officially closed for skiing. We are open for hiking for those with day or season passes (summer or all-season). We encourage Microspikes or snowshoes (for traction, not flotation) and can rent Microspikes in the upstairs of the Outdoor Center. We kindly ask that if you are encountering a lot of mud that you find a different trail to avoid damage. The trails on the east side of the road may dry out faster and be more inviting for hiking. We are also open for Disc Golf, though you will want to wear some waterproof footwear for a while. Please purchase your disc golf day or season pass in the Bierhall or via the QR code on the signs. Stay tuned for mountain bike opening date, though don't expect it for another several weeks. A huge thank you again to all that helped make this such a great winter!

2024-25 WINTER SEASON BY THE NUMBERS

*

110: Number of days we were officially open for skiing this season.

*

89: Participants in the January 5 inaugural edition of our Trapp Poker Ski event.

*

About 250: Marshmallows given out during the S'Mores Ski portion of the January 26 Sunday Funday (There were definitely not 250 participants, but we were happy to give out some seconds, thirds, and OK probably fourths and fifths for a few)

*

12/28: Our busiest day (by Outdoor Center revenue), though January 18 and a few others weren't far behind.

*

101: Number of days the Slayton Pasture Cabin was open. Thank you, Phil, Annie, and Joey!

*

18:38: Winning time in minutes and seconds for Eli Enman to go from the Stadium to the Slayton Pasture Cabin

*

9: Largest number of bratwursts admitted to being eaten by one person at the December Passholders Party. Related announcement: seconds are only available in the last hour of the party next year! :)

*

62: Number of consecutive days we had 100% of our ski trails open.

*

2.5: Days the PistenBully was not functioning. This is cause for celebration. There are a lot of moving parts on that machine and that means there are a lot of moving parts that can break. Hallelujah for the PistenBully's MVP season!
