Nordic Pulse

Weather reporters calling for a January freeze-thaw?? At Breadloaf we can hardly call it that – maybe a freeze-thaw in the way that the snow firms up over night and softens for the skiers during the day. Whatever you want to call this weather, it’s made for stellar conditions up at Rikert, and our whole trail network is still open! 

The snow has set up beautifully in the woods, especially on the natural trails where the wild skiers have tracked in the snow over the past few days. Due to the increased moisture in the last snowfall, and our continuous rolling of the trails, the snow has great glide, and we expect to keep a good base of snow on the trails throughout the coming weather event. All is calm on the mountain this morning, that is until our school groups hit the snow! 

This week we went over to cheer on our skiers in Lake Placid at U.S. Senior Nationals and the St. Lawrence ESIA Carnival! After conversations with skiing representatives and manufacturers across the country, it’s clear we even have some of the best skiing in the country right now. Showing up to work with immense gratitude. 

There is a winter weather advisory starting this afternoon when conditions may take a turn. Please use caution traveling to your post-work and Saturday morning ski. We’ll be here!
