Nordic Pulse

March 13th:  Grooming took place at Mt.Shark on Thursday under mostly clear sky's with the exception of one short snowfall around midnight that deposited trace amounts of new snow on top trails groomed earlier in the day/Night. Since last week's grooming 30 to 50 cm's of snow had accumulated on the trails at Shark. The entire Mt.Shark system was groomed and trackset, though the trails may be slightly narrower then normal due to the sheer amount of snow on the trails at the time of grooming.

There is generally a good base at Mt Shark but a few hazards still exist, such as a few drainage dips and possible exposed ground or rocks (on the two usual tight corners on Ursa Major and Hercules.

Always come prepared for a variety of conditions, that can change suddenly throughout the day. You may want to consider bringing hiking poles, micro spikes, toques, gloves and multiple layers. Snowshoeing, Winter Walking and fat biking are only permitted on the multi-use Watridge Lake trail.
