Nordic Pulse

Sunday, May 4th. 7:45am

Sunday greetings from Mt Bachelor! Sunny sky and cool temps are making for a beautiful start to the ski day. The air temps is registering 27*F and feels just frosty enough to warrant an extra layer this morning. The sun is rising quickly from behind Tumalo, and in short order it will cast warming and sparkling rays upon the Nordic network. At present, the trails are firm and frozen, having taken a full and deep set during the clear night. By 9am they will start to soften and by 11am they may be slushy. The snow temp is -7C / 20*F. The projected high temp for today is 45*F, accompanied by a light breeze and cloudless sky. Yesterday evening, the full Nordic network was prepped with skate corduroy and classic tracks except for Maiden's Bluff, Rich's Range, Todd Creek, and Waterfall. The earliest groomed trails came out smooth and beautiful while the later groomed trails came out a bit rougher due to the rapidly falling air temp. As always, check Nordic Pulse for detailed grooming data: https://www.nordic-pulse.com/ski-areas/US/OR/Mt-Bachelor-Nordic-Center. The Yellow, Orange, and Red Snowshoe Trails are open for hiking today!
