Nordic Pulse

Feb 21st:  Friday night's grooming took place under clear skies, with no new snow in PLPP for about 24hours.  All trails have now been groomed since snow finally started falling again last Saturday, with about 15 to 25 cm's accumulating over the week. High winds have led to drifting and some snow bombs, but most of the icy base (from a 6 week drought and some warm temperatures) should now be well covered.

With abundant December snow, there is generally a reasonable snow base in PLPP, especially at higher elevations. The base was starting to thin at low elevations before the recent now and a few hazards may exist, including possible slush or ice (the ground and marshy areas are warmer than normal this year). A few small patches of ice and dirt were starting to come up on Packers and Come along in a couple spots before the new snow but are now covered.
