It was a great Nordic season in Leavenworth this year. From Christmas on I skied 80-100k a week on beautifully groomed trails, the most I've ever been able to.
We drove up the ski this morning as the sun came up, we were the second people on the perfect corduroy, came around for the second lap and realized this may be the end of my skiing here this season. No new snow in the horizon and the consistently warm temps, the conditions are quickly coming to an end. By our third lap, the conditions of the perfect trail had already deteriorated. It's ok, it was a wonderful ski to end it. Saw all of the familiar early morning skiers, wanting the beat the crowds and get the best snow, and in the coming weeks will see the same people on their bikes. Pretty amazing community of outdoor people around here. So cheers to a great season.
On that note, PLEASE people if you do ski the trail, pay for a pass. It's reasonable and supports LWSC, the group that makes it possible to ski with such great conditions. They are a wonderful organization, but it's through these funds they can continue to make it happen!
The sun peaking through
Pretty sweet if this was my last ski!
