Nordic Pulse

Tuesday 4 February'25

8:45 AM Temperature -19.1°C. Environment Canada forecast is for high of -16°C. So you could say, it is the start of a slight warming trend. Two toques instead of four.

As everything has been groomed & trackset within the last 3 days, and the ski traffic has been very thin since the wonderful snowstorm, it will be a short snowcat grooming shift today. We will try and hunt down whatever trails have more than a few tracks on them. The snowmobiles will continue their mid winter hibernation.

SKATE: Excellent.

CLASSIC: Excellent.The right wax can make all the difference. Fish scale are a little too grippy.

CLASSIC BACKCOUNTRY: If you are skiing with a buddy, a good day to check out our 2.7 km semi-backcountry Dogpatch trails. They are narrow (not really skateable) & have no set tracks. Some signage was recently put up, so you are less likely to get lost.

SNOWSHOE: Excellent+++.

POWDERHOUNDS: Furthur Up the Creek will be deep. Junior National will be steep & deep. Want a real workout? Ski up the Up Junior National, and enjoy the well earned powder rewards of the down down. Ski with a buddy, not much traffic on those 2 runs. (Only 4 6 ski-tracks on Junior National since the snowstorm!)

GRAND TOUR: Signage for Week 4 - The Nor' Westers is in place. Click here for a Grand Tour of Caledonia introduction

Planning a skiing roadtrip? Its worthwhile to check the discounts for the 70+ nordic & alpine facilities that extend a 20% to 50% (+ one token 100% - our favorite!) discounts to our valued PassHolders. With a bit of strategic planning, you could save a bundle in trail/lift fees.
