Crystal Mountain Cross Country Skiing – 12/26


Crystal Mountain – Dec. 25
A couple of our cross-country skiers were cutting up the corduroy with Santa earlier today.

Nordic skiers are getting surly, awaiting snow which did not come early. We received 4 inches on Friday night, so we’ve packed down about 5K with a snowmobile. No tracksetting, but striding is recommended over skating. Warmish temps today mean there will be numerous thin spots; use caution. No charge to ski.

Snow Depth in Woods: 4

Packed Snow Depth on Trails: 2

Ice, Glaze, Barespots: yes
