Nordic Pulse

We're back to winter! For a moment at least. Depending on where you are on the property we are looking at 3-6" of new snow. It's great to see snow on the trees and watch brown turn to white.  We are out snowmobile grooming this morning to pin things dow...

Today's pic is a passholder-submitted shot of some skiers enjoying the Hammock Grove. Plenty of nice hammock weather ahead.   A new calf was born yesterday during the Meet the Cows tour. Tou...

Good morning,  Firm and icy in the mornings is the theme this time of year.  After assessing the stampede course yesterday I am heading out in the snowcat to try and get things leveled out as best we can with the firm hard snow before the forecasted hopeful fr...

fresh tracks set Saturday. Moonlight ski was a blast! 40 people and perfect 25f temps with clear skies and a huge Moon!

Friday March 6: Five inches of new snow as of 6AM and still snowing. We will roll Trails 10, 11, 12 and Teaching Loop 00 on Aspen Golf this morning and then head over to High School Loop 30. Expect variable conditions with some spots that may pack to bare ground. All other tra...

The Pisten Bully is out grooming and setting new track on most wide trails this AM. Expect firm frozen granular trails. Should be done between 10-12. Enjoy your ski or snowshoe. 

Continued work on TOA/multi-use trail to Northern Lights in preparation for Sunday. 

March 5th. Current temp 36. No new snow. No grooming this morning due to soft conditions. Trails are still open for skiing. It has been raining and the freeze thaw cycle hasn't happened for a few days.  Badgers and upper rollercoaster have several dirt spots. Main trails ...

Everything around the lodge has been groomed for classic and skate. Couple inches over night certainly helped! Expect a light dusting on top of the groom. Still snowing lightly at the lodge as of 9am. 

Harriman trail has been groomed from snra to galena lodge fo classic and skate including all the loops. About an inch of new snow but very windy so expect snow drifts on the trail especially around frostbite flats and on the durance loops. Temps around 28 as of 9am. Enjoy!

Friday morning: we picked up a few inches of snow after yesterdays rain. Planning to groom most of the trail network today for the weekend. There will be no grooming on Saturday or Sunday but the trails should be skiing decently, although it will be warm! Further ahead we will...

All trails in Whitaker Woods skate and tracked . Come ski Eastern Norway.

Spring conditions have arrived. IWT had to make the call and close Corkscrew. It was a great run this year being 100% open. But don’t worry, everything else is looking pretty great! It’s definitely getting soft but still good snow coverage. Fat bike and snow...

We received two inches of snow overnight.  The conditions are amazing.

We still have 100% coverage on the trails today. Some tree debris in the wooded areas. Surviving the warmup so far.

We are trying to groom everything today, we currently have a groomer broken down on trail 8, will update later.

Don't put those skis away yet! At 7am Friday, our man in corduroy is heading up to the top of Oak Hill. With temperatures forecast to remain below or close to freezing today, conditions up there should be excellent today! On our trails elsewhere, an inch or more of light snow ...

Freeze thaw springy conditions again this moring. Has the endless VT winter bubble popped? Maybe.... maybe it's time to adjust our expectations a bit. The great news it's still early spring weather where the snow turns solid overnight. The bad news is that the snow is no longe...

Packed powder on the groomers this morning, with mild temperatures expected today. A great day to get out and get the blood pumping! Nothing like fresh air and  beautiful trails! Stop by the yurt for hot soup and drinks, wax, and rental gear! The Moose ...

Friday: About 4-6 inches new snow in canyon.  Plan to reset both classic and skate tracks this morning. 

Thursday, March 5th. 7:45am Morning greetings, Nords. First light in the Central Cascades revealed the last legs of yesterday's snowstorm exiting the area, ushered out by a strong wind. In its wake, there is a foot of new powder on the ground and a beautiful white...

Low trails groomed with skate lane and classic track. Upper trails groomed with a classic track only. Good day to ski all the trails.

We have a great selection of trails groomed on both networks this morning! Groomers reporting excellent conditions!  Right now we are planning on a similar groom for tomorrow and then likely staying off the trails with groomers on Sunday.  The weather forecast is tre...

40 K groomed last night with classic tracks and a skate platform. A small accumulation of snow overnight; caution recommended in the tunnel - daytime melt can result in ice and/or water depending on the time of day.  The trails in last night's grooming include the ...

Good morning, Mt. Spokane Nordic skiers. Captain Ginge here with the latest grooming report. Well folks, yesterday’s rain didn’t do us any favors, but last tonight’s colder temps helped firm things up a bit. Husky Dave and I were able to get a fair amo...

25°F with 1 to 2 inches of new snow Groomed the rendezvous race course 

It may have been the coldest night of the year! Trails will be extremely firm this morning, softening throughout the day but with 20mph winds and a high of 36, skating will remain excellent throughout the day. Cold again for tonight/Friday before a warm up this weekend. 56 deg...

Single pass on the skate lane most of the park.

Made four passes on the skate lane, nothing new to report 

  A little over an inch of dense new snow fell last evening, giving us exactly what we needed while grooming throughout the night to put a full refresh on all open Legacy Trails. Skate lanes and classic tracks have all been reset and the new snow has had enough time to bo...

Update for Friday March 6 Another good freeze overnight which should make the skiing surface good and firm first thing & softening as the day progresses.  Groomers had some success rebuilding a trail across the meadow on the North side o...

Groomed all trails x-country tracks laid. Grooming conditions were... Firm. Had to go slow and the product isn't as smooth as normal but would still ski pretty good. Plowed Wrenshaws and Sochi and it came out excellent. If your lungs are up to it, they will ski nicely. 

Top O’ The Mornin’ Nordic Friends, If you check our updated trail map, you’ll see that many trails were groomed last night in an eight hour shift. That is the equivalent drive time for a trip to NYC from here… but not as agrivating or dangerous....

We have groomed from OO to Fire Tower and Birkie Ridge on both the skate and classic trails, with fairly good results. Areas south of OO have deteriorated rapidly with the heat, rain and debris melting into the snow pack, so we are very likely done grooming the southern stretc...

Another excellent day of spring skiing can be had in the Rendezvous and at Sun Mountain. Conditions will be at their best in the morning before things warm up too much. We are no longer grooming Winthrop trails and Mazama is most likely done as well. Today looks to be one of t...

Tonight was a good groom. All things considered these trails are in excellent shape. Eric and Adam did a great job this week referbing and flattening these trails after having two solid days of rain and the ensuing muck fest we endured for days afterwards. Colder overnight tem...

Hey Folks,  We will be taking a pause in our snowcat grooming of the OSV network until we have favorable temperatures for grooming. We need strong refreezes at night and daytime temps below 45 degrees farenheight to be able to operate the equipment safely. 

Just finished a nice groom with the snowcat. We got a good couple of inches overnight and the snow is still still falling very gently. Skating is good and a new classic track. 

The overnight low was ~25F and the "wintery mix" yesterday will make the snow ski colder. Conditions have set up well for perhaps the best day of the season... Snowcat Billy and BearCat Dave were out schmeering the spring snow into nice corduroy for you. Many tra...

3/5/26   Feels like winter these past couple of days with colder evening and daytime temperatures. It was a tougher groom for the snowcat drivers last night as the snow surface froze q...

Another perfect day to visit our trails at Milan Hill State Park! Bob and Don went out last night and groomed in the new snow that fell over the last few days. Skiing our trails is the perfect activity for the last day of NH school vacation week!  Join u...

Minimal storm grooming is happening this morning on the west side. We should have a loop from the gronk to alien and down into magic meadows and of the yurt.

Most trails groomed today. Conditions remain hard with lots of underlying ice but skiable. 

We have been grooming in between rain, snow and temperature swings that are creating some freeze/thaw conditions. Skiing is good but expect variable conditions that may vary between icy and sloppy wet until we get a cool down and fresh snow :-) 

Alta got a couple inches of new snow Wednesday night which made for a nice refresh on the skate lane but did not help cover the dirt patches. Skate lane and classic track were refreshed Thursday morning. Classic track is shallow in spots. South facing slopes are thin or comple...

March 5th Grooming Report Devotastic Week! Coach Libby sent in some more great pictures and reported that it has been a Devotastic week!  Donut relay races with Teewinots, laps in Woolsey Woods, skiing ...

This morning it is clear and cold and just a little windy. We got an inch or so of snow at the lodge and a few more on the upper trails. Not enough coverage to recommend starting at Meissner, but the skiing from swampy is pretty good. BDE is groomed for skate laps and all the ...

Fresh snow this morning! I was able to get the majority of it packed down but it continued to snow while grooming. Tracks will likely be buried in many places. It was also a bit windy so snow drifts might exist. This is great news and it will hopefully allow us to reopen more ...

The track has been groomed. Spring/slushy conditions exist with a few icy spots present early so be cautious. This will be the last day of grooming till we receive more snow which is forecasted. Think snow  ❄️

Groomed 715-830 am. Was perfect for about 2 hours now softening and turning to slop Better to stay off this afternoon to prevent damage until things cool down.
