Trail and Snow Report for the Nordic Center

FOR:  March 12, 2010   Report Time 930AM       

Open trails are located on the North End of the system for today's operations.   After purchasing tickets and rentals, skiers should plan to travel a short distance from the Nordic Center either by shuttle or private vehicle to reach the trailheads.        NOTE: trails marked   Woody Debris --  As a result of the wind and snow caused tree damage that ocurred on Feb 26 there are sections of trails where woody debris previously frozen under the snow pack is now coming to the surface.  Please be cautious to avoid skiing on this material.  Patrollers are out picking up.
