Day 3...  We are continuing to open in stages and today we bring you all of the northern parts of our trail system.  We are opening Beaver Creek Trailhead and giving you your first chance to use the new Osprey Lodge Trailhead at the 1000 Trails main entrance.  (No longer the Clear Creek Trailhead).  Grooming was done yesterday afternoon and evening with Ginzus laying skate and classic where possible.

Overnight lows hovered right around freezing, so conditions could be soft on any of the newly opened trails which don't have the same base as what was done with the Snocat.  The most firm trails will still be the Meadow Loop area.

The entire Beaver Creek Trail is passable, but watch out for thin and icy spots under the trees and use caution on all road and driveway crossing which will be thin.

As always, use caution in the parking lots as there could be ice (Micro Spikes recommended) and as temps warm up things could get slushy (4wd recommended). 

Our Nordic Pulse map is a work in progress as we are still coordinating the GPS tracking to align with the actual trails, but all trails are currently open except for Mill Hill, Cougar Run and Chainsaw Ridge.  Let's hope that the forecast gets better and that this rain turns into more snow.
