Absolutely phenomenal conditions for the Last Chance Race. The skate deck was slightly icy in one spot, but otherwise was great. Just a little on the soft side with the fresh snow Thursday. Classic tracks looked great, too!

Spring skiing is like a box of chocolates. Better than expected skate in the midst of big snow flakes. There should be a fine course for the Last Chance? Race on Saturday.

I skied the blue Dala trail classic and skated the red Bell Tower trail. We received some 9-10 inches of snow this weekend. Classic tracks were excellent. The skate deck was a little soft from the new snow. It had not had enough time to set up. It should set up better tonight with the cold temperatures in the forecast. The grooming plan is to finish grooming the skate deck on Tuesday evening. Plan to come ski the Last Chance Race on Saturday. Overall, the trails are beautiful with more snow than we have had in years.

One small loop groomed early afternoon. Classic tracks sets pretty well, but skate deck not quite set. Skiing was a bit slow. The chalet was amazing! Hope to be back soon!

With a warm Saturday and overnight lows of 3 degrees I was unsure of what to expect early Sunday morning. Was it worth the trip up from St. Paul? Absolutely! Spring skiing - nope, this was mid-winter ski conditions. Minor spots of tree debris in the northern conifers, and only a couple spots on south-facing climbs with a hint of ice that softened late morning, otherwise good edge control throughout. Classic tracks were glazed in some exposed sections otherwise blue wax trails. Happy Trails indeed!

Beautiful skate today. What a perfectly designed course. Wide trail, professionally groomed and entertaining terrain. Chatted with a board member after in the Nordic Center. Interesting history. A+ rating. Everyone involved, ie., (Mora Ski Club) is so friendly. Must experience!

Skate deck was firm and fast, jumped into the classic track on the downhills and it was great. A little debris under the spruces and pines, but a non-factor. Worth the trip if you've never been here, Nordic Center is wonderful!
