Nordic Pulse

Friday, February 21st. 7:40am

It's a feel-good Friday with extensive packed powder trails, blue sky, and sunshine. Near-windless conditions are unfolding at the mountain as another spectacular ski day awaits. The ENTIRE Nordic network is sporting a fresh treatment of corduroy and classic tracks, and the ski surface remains cold, consistent, and super delightful. The morning snow temp is -10C / 14*F and the air temp is 22*F. We anticipate a high around 40* this afternoon followed by the possibility of snow this evening. The Yellow and Orange Snowshoe Trails are packed and open for hiking. Red Trail is in the works this morning and will be opened up later today. 

 

This afternoon we are very excited to welcome Oregon's high school Nordic ski teams to Mt Bachelor Nordic for the State Championships! Racing begins at 2pm this afternoon with a mass-start skate race. Many of the Upper Trails, Blue Jay's, Easy Up, Upper Devecka's, and a short section of Woody's will be closed for this race in the late afternoon. For those non-racers who plan to ski earlier in the day, this race should cause very minimal impact. For non-racers skiing in the afternoon, we highly recommend heading for the blue and black trails to ski and then posting up at the Race Stadium to cheer on the teams. Saturday is the second and final day of the State Championships and will feature and interval-start classic race as well as a team relay. Saturday's races start at 9am and run through 1pm. Again, we recommend that non-racers ski the Middle and Lower Trails tomorrow. It's an honor to host Oregon's high school athletes in their grand season finale event, and we hope that you'll all join us in cheering and supporting the teams!
