Nordic Pulse

Happy Thursday Nordic Friends,

After a busy night of grooming, dawn has broken on what promises to be a spectacular day. The skies are blue. The air is crisp and our trail conditions …are superb. Check our trail map for all trails that were freshly groomed last night that are sure to provide delightful corduroy, but honestly anything you select, will provide enjoyable packed powder conditions.

MATT mid week skiing report at Outdoor Center!

Wow.  Sunny weather again and packed powder grooming.  Both skate and classic tracks are in primo form.  Had three people today ask me about grip wax for their classic skis so thought I would cover wax this week.  Yes, most people use twin skins or fish scales, I know, but these are the days that for those who still use grip wax, and I know your are out there, the waxing strategy is straight forward and the classic skiing is awesome.  The classic tracks have packed powder conditions.  What worked well was Swix VF50, which is purple grip wax.  Look for any grip wax that goes to 34 degrees.  This seems warm but the temperature got around 32 degrees and the sun was hitting the tracks.  Early morning skiers could go a little colder, like blue extra or Swix VF45, but once the sun got high around noon it warmed up everything.  So, if you are still one of those skiers who are looking for perfect classic conditions, this is the week! For the skaters, purple glide wax, or any wax that covers the 24F to 32F range, will put you in the right direction. Enjoy this wonderful weather!

Please check the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center Facebook page for updates and operational schedules and have an epic day!

Happy Trails,

Groomer Billy
