Welcome to 2025, fellow Nordic skiers. Here’s hoping it is a good year for all of us, full of skiable snow. Despite the rain that soaked December’s snow, I remain optimistic that there will be more snow in January. Like other Nordics, I hold on to a positive and wishful attitude. What else can we do?
December was better than average for Nordic skiing. The valley got enough snow and it lasted long enough to get in a dozen skis or more. Despite going from snow to rain and warm temps back to snow, careful grooming, snowmaking and prayers preserved the snow. It was much better than the “Brown Christmases” we’ve had in years past.
