Morning classic ski loop
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
Even though the Olympic trails are closed, and they have spread snow on the mini loop but have not groomed it yet, I was still able to cobble together 4 good laps on this 1.5k loop. Tomorrow the nordic center will open, and they will have a 1k loop, groomed and tracked with a 15+ inch base of man-made snow.
