Skiing under the moonlight

Nordic Skier home, Latest Posts ,
full moon ski

This month’s full moon was on December 29th. Unfortunately the evening sky was cloudy on that night but the trails were firm and not icy. Several skiers took this opportunity this week to go to the golf course and the Nordic Centre in the evenings to give this a try.

The sky was clear and the moon shined brightly on Monday evening so a headlamp was not even necessary at the Nordic Centre. Here are a few photos.

  • Cedar Loop
  • Mount Fernie
  • Lizard Range

The next full moons will be on Jan 28, Feb 27 and March 28. Mark your calendar and let’s hope for clear skies.

New short trail at the Nordic Centre

The old Lizard Creek Loop bike trail is now open and groomed for skiing. Although not track set and not as wide as other ski trails, it has a few rollers and a rather steep descent followed by a good climb. Definitively a worthwhile challenge! The trail runs for less than 1 km along the Galloway loop on the side closer to Highway 3. It may be skied from either end. The current trail maps do not show this trail yet. Several users have enjoyed giving it a try!
