Friday Greetings, Nords! Another balmy and beautiful day awaits snow sliders and gliders. Following a bout of snowy weather during the past week, we've nearly got the entire Nordic network compacted and back online for groomed skating and striding. Today's roster of fresh corduroy and parallel tracks includes all the Upper Trails, Screamer, Easy Up, Woody's Way, Easy Back, Zig Zag, Rich's Range, Waterfall, Upper and Lower Devecka's, Oli's Alley, Blue Jay's, and Dan's Drop. Plus, the Yellow and Orange Snowshoe Trails are open too!
The temperature warmed throughout the night, ranging between 25* and 45*F. At present, the air temp is 39*F. Thin gray clouds overhead and mostly calm air round out the scene. Given the conditions, the snow is not frozen this morning. Rather, it's sugary, variable, and highly enjoyable. Easy, breezy skiing as we like to say! The snow temp is weighing in at 24*F. Dress in light layers, bring the full quiver, and make a day of these fun conditions on a quiet trails.
After your ski, be sure to stop into the Nordic Lodge to refuel with a burrito or hot chocolate. While you are at it, wrap up your holiday shopping in the Nordic retail shop. We are freshly stocked with all the apparel, accessories, and fun gifts that any winter-lover in your life would be thrilled to have. Check out the new selection of Snowflake Earrings from Rainbows by Amy, try on this season's gloves from Hestra and Kinetixx, pair a cute Skida hat with a matching buff, or piece together the perfect Nordic wax kit. 'Tis the season!
