Happy Boxing Day from all of us at White Pine Touring Nordic Center. We will be open from 9am to 5pm today.
CLOCKWISE SKIING TODAY ON THE 3km “Community Loop”. THIS MEANS GOING TO THE LEFT AS YOU ENTER THE TRAIL. We have changed to directional travel to reduce potential conflicts on the narrow sections of trail. Please ski with Joy, kindness and make room for everyone. A light cover of snow on the trails this morning and until mid-morning today. The track surface should be quite nice today but remember it is a firm and icy track under the fresh snow. Skiing will be a bit softer on the trail as the day progresses. Expect a slower wintery surface to start the day with your blue wax glide. Fresh light groom this morning, but as much as we can, we’ll let the fresh sit on top in order to build snow depth. Best skiing will be with your family and friends all day today.
The 5 km “Pond Loop” remains closed, but we’ll be working to get it open soon if the forecast holds. Be very aware of thin spots and cart paths and big surface gaps. The 5km side is only for the intrepid and rock skis. You risk injury going out on the closed trail. You must have a trail pass purchased and displayed to access our trails. Everyone please ski clockwise and share the trail with Joy and good spirits as you burn off that extra cookie. Smile, greet the hardworking staff and your fellow skiers and keep an eye out for snow bunnies. Thank you for being part of our amazing community! Ski safe and enjoy the day!
We have a couple of spaces left in our Monday women’s skate clinic starting next week. You can book online or give us a call at the Nordic Center.
“Snow floated down every once in a while, but it was frail snow, like a memory fading into the distance.” – Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
