Just two weeks of cross country skiing left!! Where did the winter go?

 by Keith and Heather Nicol

Well  the countdown is starting. ..just 2 more weeks of skiing at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. Hard to believe that it is the first day of spring since on Sunday , March 20 it was cool , windy and snowing on the cross country ski trails at Raven Lodge, Mount Washington’s Nordic Centre. We had a nice ski but it felt more like mid winter with the snow accumulating on the trails. We usually expect some sunshine and warm temperatures about this time of year and that might come later this week. 

 

But there is lots of skiing left and next weekend is Mount Washington’s first Nordic Fest on Saturday March 26 and Sunday March 27.  It features a variety of activities from waxing clinics, to snow shoe tours and lesson options including an adult performance xc ski camp. You can even try out the biathlon range and test out the Nomadic Sauna. Many activities need to be booked in advance so check out https://www.mountwashington.ca/events/event/1179-nordic-weekend-festival.html  for more information.  So get out, enjoy Nordic Fest and the final days of skiing. Its been great season!
