It is another rosy-cheeked Winter morning. Enjoy that steamy mug and a good breakfast before you head out with your boot covers, best mittens, warm beanie and buff. -5 degrees F on the trail at 7am. We might make it up close to 20F degrees by afternoon under a bright blue sky. 22km of cold firm classic track and lightly resurfaced corduroy this morning. You’ll glide best with green or blue wax and iron-in cold powder today. Grip will be green or even that rarely used tin of Polar (!) wax. Skate and classic on the 5k, 3k, Dog Loop and the Farm. We’ll be resurfacing the 3km skate and Armstrong this morning. Everything is in great shape overnight so we’re going to let it ride in the cold temps . The dog loop is open and running happily through the field (cover up those paws again today). The Farm is open and groomed. The Farm is a fee area for skiing. No walking, dogs, running, cycling or trespassing on the trails. Park in the new Meadows Drive trailhead lot or better yet, ski the entire loop from the Nordic Center. Ski with caution on the Farm.
Classic skiing will be very good today and skate will be squeaky slow to start, and quite good as the day goes on. A good universal liquid or paste wax on your fish scale classic skis (tip to tail) is always a good idea. Skin skis are an exceptional no-fuss classic option if green hard wax isn’t your vibe. Bring your friends, family and neighbors along to play and if you need to take a mid-day “physical and/or mental therapy” break we’ve got a trail for you. Drop off your skis when you’re finished for an overnight spa treatment. Please purchase AND display your trail pass to access our trails. Ski with spirited Joy, share the trail, glide smoothly into the curves and take a few laps on our string of beautiful trails! Thank you for being part of our amazing community and supporting long-winded trail reports. Grab that beanie, your buff, boot covers, your good gloves and head outside to enjoy the day!
If you enjoy what we’re providing, be sure to tell your local city officials how great it is to have such an incredible long-term community partnership between PC and White Pine Touring. We’ve been making trails on the golf course and beyond for 47 years. We’d like that to continue and your support helps.
