Nordic Pulse

Good morning, Mt. Spokane skinny skiers! Captain Ginge here with some much needed good news for you. Winter decided to show up and we're getting a blast of some awesome quality snow. The high winds from the Wednesday night storm tipped over quite a few trees across the trails and scattered debris everywhere, but your three misfit snow groomers got em all cleaned up. it was a booger. We also were able to get a decent sweep on all the trails to get the majority of the wind blown debris off the trail which is awesome. Timing wise, everything worked out pretty well. The snow storm held off just long enough for us to get things cleaned up, and then it started dumping snow  and piling up quickly. I’m not going to complain about snow—ever—but heads up: we’re forecasted for up to 7 inches tonight and then snow continuing to fall into tomorrow with the possibility of up to a foot in total. That's more than we can keep up so with that it means it's not likey to have fresh corduroy first thing in the morning, sorry. However, it’ll be soft, deep and really nice quality snow, so you'll likely need your chubbier skinny skis? I know that's not ideal, but at this point, we’ll take all we can get—our watershed desperately needs the moisture, and so do the trails. Now that we've gotten the windy mess removed and the fresh snow is flying I'm feeling pretty confident that this weekend should be outstanding.  As soon it lets up we'll be back at it gettin those cords look good and laying some crisp classic tracks again. 

So grab those powder skis and get out there to enjoy this winter wonderland that’s been so elusive this year. It’s finally starting to feel like the real deal.

Drive safely on the way up, thanks for sticking with us through all these thin times.

Stay frosty my friends, 

Captain Ginge
