Nordic Pulse

Wednesday April 2^nd 7:40am

 

It's a quiet and calm start to this 2nd day of April and after yesterday's ballyhoo and foolin' folly the ensuing peace is a very welcome respite. And there ain't-no-foolin' when we say this day is starting out beautifully! It's 25* at the lodge under mottled skies. Today's high is expected to crest around 30* with a protective layer of clouds that will encourage conditions to hold steady and provide a fine and consistent day of striding, sliding, and gliding! The snow temp is -3*C / 27*F and is soft and silky smooth. The groom has velvety-butter feel and is so satisfying to sink your skis into!

 

Today's groom stats indicate the cord and tracks are well-defined and smooth. The overnight snowfall was dense, however worked into the network well with very little inconsistencies. The lowers and Rich's are predictably softer yet supremely skiable, especially in the morning hours. Speaking of network; the playlist is packed with all the greatest hits - everything is on the turn-table today! And for those mountaineering snowshoe enthusiasts, this is your day - Yellow, Orange and Red trails are open and the views and vistas are amazing!

 

The woodstove is singing its song, and the smells from the cafe are beginning to permeate our Nordic palace. The spring sale is going through the remainder of the season (25% off apparel), so now is the time to stock up on your XC skiing needs...and with 267 days left, it's never too early to start your Christmas shopping - No foolin'! 🤪
