FRI, MAR 21
Forbush Corner: I had thought my final ski for the season would be in Davos, but couldn’t resist one more on the snowmaking & Ridge loops at Forbush Corner Cross-Country Skiing, thanks to Larry’s groom. The corduroy was great, with an inch of powder as it began to warm, but the classic tracks were hardpacked & a little rough, with the frozen dirt showing through the base in some sections. My favorites, Badlands & Roller Coaster, weren’t planned to be groomed, but you could ski the hardpack if skilled on hilly crust. Enjoyed visiting with Larry, Tina & Beth Major. Now, time to hike!
Forbush Corner: Happy people out on the freshly groomed snowmaking loop this morning. You can use A skis. No bare spots this morning at 9:15 to 11. Only did loop and ridge. Tracks were set and a bit icy but skiable. Enjoy for now, sunshine was delightful.
Nubs Nob: 6-inches of snow on Thursday and a complete powertilling of the upper loops to World Cup specs this morning. A touch soft today, but should be an amazing 7-10 day stretch starting tomorrow. Huge shoutout to Ben and the entire crew at Nubs for their commitment to Nordic skiing.
