GPS Live Grooming App
Nordic Pulse is an app based cross country ski trail grooming report system, bringing trail condition reports from ski areas across North America together on one platform, and streamlining grooming reporting for ski areas.
Connecting Ski Areas
Nordic Pulse was born out of a desire to make grooming reports easier to find for skiers and to help clubs share their trail conditions. We believe strongly that deciding where and when to ski should be a quick, easy, and fun experience. After years of wading through outdated websites, online spreadsheets, snow phones (though we do love a good snow phone message!), user-reported blogs, and the like, it was time to create a new platform.
Proudly Serving the Nordic Ski Community
The team at Nordic Pulse is proud to be working with ski areas of all sizes. From tiny volunteer clubs to some of the largest nordic ski operations on the planet, we're on a mission to revolutionize trail reporting and help skiers get out on the trails.

How does Nordic Pulse work?
Nordic Pulse's objective is to make grooming reporting easier for ski areas. Grooming teams work long nights preparing the corduroy for the coming day's skiers, and the last thing the groomers want to do at the end of a long shift is to fiddle around with logging into a website or updating a spreadsheet with cold fingers.
With Nordic Pulse, grooming teams simply enable the in-app GPS tracker while they groom and the app syncs the data to our server every few seconds. With both AutoSync and offline storage capacity, Nordic Pulse is optimized to work in a variety of scenarios such as sending real-time data through cellular data, bulk uploading whenever the snowcat passes through the stadium and briefly connects to the club's wifi connection, or operating fully offline and out of service.
As the data syncs to the cloud, our algorithm accurately processes the GPS data points, marking each trail with the precise date and time that it was last groomed. Once a trail has been marked as groomed, the timestamp will continue to update each time the groomer passes over it again.
At the end of the grooming shift, all that's needed is to write up a quick message in the in-app reporting tool, and click Publish. For ski areas who are working off-line or out of service, groomers can simply return to a wifi, cellular or satellite connections, press Sync, and the trails will be marked at the time they were actually groomed.
