Firsthand: Classic

More of the trail opened today. I'd estimate an extra 150 - 200 meters, which includes more climbing. Well groomed for skate, but no classic tracks set.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Partial, Good skis ]
Stadium and trails were groomed this morning both skating deck and tracks. Snow has held up well over the warm temps of the last few days, and last nights teens were a big help with the conditions. Everything is looking in awesome shape!

Since my first winter of ski coaching, the winter of 1990-91, I have waited for this day. today was the day that I skied with my team on a Nordic ski trail in Duluth Minnesota with full professional snowmaking on it. It was glorious. Its a short loop only about 800 m but you can see how much it is going to be to when fully expanded. Grand Avenue Nordic Center is going to be one amazing ski trail. I can't wait to see the whole thing snowed in. I am one happy ski coach to have the option of getting my kids on skis when there's no snow to be found any where else in town. Thank you to all the people who made this happen Spirit mountain, City of Duluth, DXC and everybody was contributed to this project well done. One happy and thankful ski coach!
