Nordic skiing (or cross-country skiing) is a lifelong activity accessible to all who choose to participate. It is enjoyed from the recreational to highly competitive levels and affords participants the opportunity to engage in winter activity in a safe, comfortable manner. All that is needed is good snow and an interesting track.

In Concord, good snow conditions are available for skiing but we also get snow that is difficult to ski on or changes into difficult snow conditions. When this happens, interest wanes, skiers become frustrated, and safety is compromised. Snowmobile grooming can help but is minimally effective when snow becomes icy or needs to be moved around to cover thin-snow areas.  

Modern groomers with tracks, a front blade, and a rear power tiller, can create great snow conditions nearly all of the time. Recently, smaller, more affordable versions of the ones used at down-hill ski areas, are being produced. Less often, available snow is the limiting factor and the only option is to make snow, and push it around the track to where it is needed. Lighting, along tree lines, extends safe skiing opportunities into early evening hours.
