First visit to the Vasaloppet Nordic Center. Very good conditions on probably 80-90% of the 9-10km loop. Some thin, dirty, icy areas on the 10-20% that wasn't great. All thin spots were avoidable today on the skate deck. Classic tracks were also full depth most of the way with a few places with bare ground and glaced, ice in places. Enjoyed the fun cornering on the course, and the warming house is top notch!

We skied the 9 k loop from 9.30 to 11.30, while the race was going on. Skate deck and tracks were freshly groomed, and in excellent shape. The tracks stayed in excellent shape all morning. The folk in Mora deserve all the appreciation we can give them. Rather than setting an artificial deadline to stop grooming, they celebrated the snow. Thanks.

Vasaloppet USA is singing a new song - April in Mora. Absolutely beautiful trails for a 2nd season-ending race. About 65 skiers showed up to race the 10 & 20 k. Tuesday's snow was groomed to perfection for a 10 k course for skate and classic. More parking had to be quickly plowed. A grouse sitting a couple feet from the trail. A bald eagle circling overhead looking for struggling skiers (me?). A lot of smiling skiers. There will be good skiing for a while yet with the manufactured snow base, and the recent natural snow.

There was about 9km of groomed and tracked trail up in Mora today. The skate deck was firm for the most part and a little slow and creaky on my first two laps. The trail got faster on the next two laps as the sun got lower in the sky. Definitely worth the trip. Thanks for grooming!

No April Foolin' - Classic skied on hardwax on April 1st! Vasaloppet Nordic Center trails were groomed overnight after about 8" of fresh snow, at least the main 5k loop and a couple of the cutoffs/offshoots. Ranged from rock-solid to pretty soft in some areas, a few thin spots in the tracks to watch out for, but overall fantastic for April 1st. When I arrived at 10:45AM, I was the only car in the parking lot, but over the next couple of hours, was joined by a half-dozen locals enjoying the trails.

Skied the Last Chance race yesterday and skied some of the other trails this morning... The skiing is still quite good and a lot of the trails are in B ski shape, however, there are some areas that are starting to burn through. It's icy right around the nordic center but as soon as you get to the first gate the snow is much better.
