Nordic Pulse

Jan 22nd: Grooming took place at Mt.Shark on Thursday with the regular double shift being completed. Persistent cold temperatures and only trace amounts of new snow have led to firm icy conditions on all the trails at Mt.Shark.  All the major trails were groomed and trackset with the exception of the short cut-offs on Orion(near the Biathlon Range) which were skipped due to the extra firm conditions. 

There is generally a good base at Mt Shark but a few hazards still exist, such as a few dips (drainage dips have been filled in but are still evident in places due to melting out, with unusually warm ground surface for this time of year), and possible exposed ground or rocks (on the two usual tight corners on Ursa Major and Hercules).
