Nordic Pulse

Summit Nordic Center — Late Season Trail Update | February 28 - March 1st

Spring is in the air, but the Nordic trails are still calling! After a brief closure, Summit Nordic Center is back open this weekend — Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. While conditions are far from typical with thin snow and warm temperatures, we're making it work and the upper trails are worth the effort. Trail passes are on us this weekend — just stop by the lodge to pick yours up.

Getting Up to the Best Snow — Three Ways In:

The Nordic trail system is accessible this weekend via three routes. Two require a hike up the front-facing alpine terrain of Hyak:

• Route 1 — Creek Run: Hike up the front alpine run to Creek Run, continuing to the Trail 9 Sunrise trailhead entrance to the Nordic system.
• Route 2 — Snoqualmie Drive/FS110: Hike up the front alpine run to Snoqualmie Drive, follow to FS110, and continue to the Trail 9 Sunrise trailhead entrance.
• Route 3 — Mike's Hike to Cold Creek: Walk up Mike's Hike from the Nordic Center to the Cold Creek trailhead. Note that snow coverage is very limited for the first mile to the bridge — plan to hike this section. Conditions improve significantly past the Jim Brooks Warming Hut.

All routes will require some hiking through soft snow — bring your rock skis, wear layers, and come ready for an adventure!

End the Day Right — Tacos & Live Music 🌮🎵

Join us Saturday at the Broken Tip Bar in the Milwaukee Lodge — tacos and live music start at 4:00 PM. Come out and make the most of the late season!
