Monday Morning Classic Skiing in the North Cascades

Early morning skiing here in the Methow Valley.    Classic striding on START Blue hard wax, temperature of about 18F.    There's about 2 feet of snow on the Pass Highway and classic tracks set from Silverstar Gate to well beyond Cutthroat Creek.  

Music, coffee, and views on the commute to the trailhead.

Some alpine touring skiers are using this section to access the high country, so there are a few of their skidoo tracks nearby, but they're good neighbors and aren't wiping out the set classic tracks.

Ski Service and Schedule Note


Here's the upcoming service schedule at Nordic Ultratune. Use these dates to make sure you get your skis ready before your most important races.
  • Skis in by Nov 30th will ship out on Dec 3rd and arrive by Dec 6th.
  • Skis in by Dec 6th will ship out on Dec 10th and arrive by Dec 13th.
There is still time to get a fast grind on your skis before the season kicks off! But don't delay...   ...fast boards are a joy to ski on, and they're a real advantage.

Note that I'll be at the World Cup races in Canmore providing ski service for Slovenia in mid-December, so there will be a one-week delay on grinding service during that time!
