The Inside Track
54km groomed on a sunny, wintery day! With the cold and wind, the surface should stay quite firm throughout the day, making it a great day for skating. The meadow remains open (the cold helps!) and the controlled burn trail closures remain in effect.
URGENT - Jan 22, 2026
Village Hill, Brinton's Beat, International, and Summit Crossing are closed until further notice.
Prescribed burning is taking place today that will result in trail closures likely through the weekend. Nordic Pulse grooming map has been updated to reflect this. For the safety of all parties involved, please stay off of the closed trails until further notice.
Van Norden Update: We are rapidly losing the ability to keep trails at VN open and groomed. Please pay attention each day as closures could happen on short notice due to conditions and safety concerns.
The meadow is a constantly changing environment this year, and we will continue to assess and keep trails open as long as we can. Check back each day as the warm weather next week could impact these trails significantly.
