The 9 km of trails at the Nordic Center were groomed earlier this week. Both the skate deck and classic tracks held up well. Snow coverage was excellent and fast as of early afternoon. Snow started falling around 3pm. Grooming plans: The grooming team was already doing some trail prep and advised they will groom Saturday morning. Should be great conditions tomorrow. Get out and enjoy!

Grooming Scheduling [ Trails Open: Most, ]
|
We welcomed 4"-5" of new snow in past couple days. It was groomed at night. There is now nearly 9km of recently groomed trail from the Nordic Center. Snow coverage is excellent and classic tracks are set. Get out and enjoy! Grooming plans: We won't be grooming again until Thursday. The Snow Farmers continue to haul, spread, and groom snow to expand the trail length to 12km in preparation for the Vasaloppet races this weekend. Scheduling: Friday - Nordic Center trails will close at 2pm so the grooming team and other volunteer can prepare the course and set-up for Saturday and Sunday races. Saturday - Trails will be closed to the public until race completion--around 4pm. Trails will close again at 5:30pm as groomers prepare the course for Sunday's races. Sunday - Trails will be closed to the public until race completion--around 2:30pm

My best local classic ski (east central Minnesota) in 2 years! With the base of man-made snow and the top layer of the real stuff and the groomers out after the Sunday night snow...I had the best ski ever. Sun partially out, good music to ski to, and teen temps...I had a glorious time. As always, many thanks to the snow farmers, the groomers, and the Mora community for their commitment to skinny skiing. I send a heart of gratitude.

Skied the Moraloppet 20K this morning. First and foremost, kudos to the Mora snow farmers for making something out of almost nothing, well done! The skating was fast and fun. Didn't see many classic skiers but the track looked decent. I'm rating it B skis only for some dirty snow, didn't see a single thing that could damage a ski, but might need to clean the bases. Maybe more A-minus than B. The loop is more like 7.5-8K than 10, as my Strava clocked 15.2 K for 2 loops and that was corroborated by another skier I spoke to.

Terrific amount of trail available at the Vasaloppet Nordic Center. Warm temperatures made trail icy along the Berm Trail, but it got better as you went into the woods. Some of the track in sections had bark, twigs, and leaves, but that was manageable. There was big bare spot at the base of a climb in the vasa hills, but that was easily avoided. I mostly classic skied with my skins, which performed pretty well on this snow in above freezing temps. I only skated a little but found the surface hard and icy. It was nice to get away and ski somewhere different than Battle and Hyland for a change.

Skied for about an hour today starting at noon. Snow pack was great and although the trails were starting to get a bit soft, I had a nice ski. Classic track looked good. Thanks to the Vasaloppet crew!

I participated in the Founders Classic race and also skied at Mora on Thursday. They had about 5.5-6 K of trails groomed for the race, and they had other sections that were open on Thursday. The conditions for the race were excellent. The classic track was pristine. The snow farmers have really done an outstanding job of getting the trails in shape with man-made snow. Thanks and respect to them!
