Nordic Pulse

Tuesday 3-Mar'26 8:00 AM  

SHORT VERSION:  +0.2 °C @ 8:00AM.  Today's groomed trails should yield good conditions. Others will yield OK conditions later in the day.

.

LONG VERSION:  In an effort to conserve the snowpack on the trails, and still have a desirable surface today, we will be making a single pass with the snowcat on the main trails. This will yield a refreshed centre lane, and a classic track reset on one side only. If you are classic skiing, try to stay on the right side of all trails, whether the track has been refreshed there or not. However, with a little detective work, you should be able to do that and still have fresh tracks!  The snow is a little too firm for the skidoo/ginzoo combination.

Two reasons for this approach to today's grooming: When the tracks are reset on both sides, it means the trail needs two snocat passes, and the centre lane gets tilled twice. This "wears out" the snow, decreasing the very carefully curated depth of the snowpack. Not an issue if we could guarantee regular generous snowfalls, & below 0 C temperatures. However, that is not exactly what is in the near forecast. We expect warmer temperatures today, with a possibility of non-snow precipitation.

Overworking the centre skate lane surface with double snowcat passes increases the depth of the rutting from the tracks left by skate skiers on warmer damp days, of which we expect this will be one, as the day progresses.
