Nordic Pulse

Good morning,

Its race day at the ranch! We have the first event of the race series today which is 3K youth, 7.5k and two laps for 15k adult skate races.

Course is marked so please use caution if you are crossing through where racers are present.

Todays weather is making todays race course prep and non racer trail grooming tricky with the snow currently coming down and wind expected throughout the day.

In addition our second snowcat is down with a mechanical issue currently so we won't have quite as many trails freshly groomed for non racers but the plan is to groom all the dog trails of Travis, Bamse, ten mile creek and also wild turkey and the new through the woods trail in the ten mile creek area plus some trails out near the biathlon range giving a nice amount of trails semi protected from the wind for people to enjoy.

It's a light snow breezy kind of day but we hope to see you on the trails or at the starting line.

Enjoy

Grooming update,

We were able to set classic track on the majority of zone A except for some trails in the immediate vicinity of the Nordic center where coverage is thinner.
Overall it's looking pretty good out there and we will be working to get more trails open soon.

Enjoy

Trail conditions update,

we have compacted all of zone B and zone C trails this morning with pretty good trail coverage throughout most of these zones. Please use caution as there are still some sections with thin coverage and with the new snowfall some hazards may be tough to see so extra caution should be taken especially on hills.

Keep the snow dances going and we will continue to pack trails down throughout this storm.

After further review it was deeper out on the trails than expected this morning... so were out in the cat!

Conditions are still very soft and we are just grooming things down flat as the track setter was just digging a trench behind us when we tried. Plan is to get over all of zone A B and zone D yet today and plan to be back out tomorrow to reset all of those trails again laying track as we go.

Winter is here, Let get our ski on!

For some reason our grooming logs did not update today but the entire property has been groomed besides the blue ridge loop and yurt trail.
Enjoy the trails and sunshine
