Nordic Pulse

April 18th: Grooming operations have now finished in PLPP for the season.  Trails will be icy or glazed early in the mornings, but will soften if and when the temperature rises.  Recent high winds have littered the trails with needles and debris in places with the possibility of downed trees.

Caution:  Elkwood and Boulton campground roads are being plowed starting apr 18th leaving bare pavement on trails or trail crossings affecting Amos, Wheeler, Moraine and Whiskey Jack.

High elevation areas have a good snow base, while many thin spots exist at low elevations, with some bare patches forming at the North end and other sun exposed places not far behind.  Some trails north of and including Packers as well as Boulton and Moraine, will have some exposed dirt, ground or rocks, brush, and possible ice.   Be bear aware.
