Happy Thanksgiving! The weather has been beautiful with clear skis and warm temperatures until this week. A few snow flurries up high on the mountain show the promise of snow for the cross country ski and snowshoe trails.

We have begun the snowmaking process at Frisco Nordic. With a little additional fresh snow we might have a teaching area open for the weekend, but not before Sat. The sledding hill is closed. The ski swap is still open at Frisco Nordic by appointment. Call 970-668-0866.

Breckenridge Nordic was open for a week last week with skiing on the 1.3Km teaching and training loop. We still have a good base in some areas, but the skiing and snowshoeing on Peaks 6 & 7 are better...take your rock skis, no grooming has been done one up there yet, but the huts are open for hiking and day trips. We continue to move snow and prepare the base, so that we can open with minimal snow.

We will begin snowshoe tours with 4-5 inches of snow in Breckenridge. Snowshoes are available for rent by advanced reservation. Call Breckenridge Nordic at 970-453-6855. Frisco Nordic will also be offering snowshoe tours this winter.

The Instructor Rendezvous instructor teaching clinics to be held at Frisco Nordic Dec. 2 & 3 may be moved to Breckenridge Nordic. Call for updates Sunday Nov 30th. Pray for snow and we will all be gliding on snowpacked trails soon.

Thank you, The Dayton's
