• We’re hoping for more of this, but until another storm blows in, Meissner may be a no-go.

Though the Nordic skiing at Meissner today is reportedly good—15 degrees warmer than town, sunny and a few freshly groomed trails—today is likely the last day to ski the community trails until the next snowfall.

Typically, Meissner Nordic, the nonprofit that operates and grooms the ski trails at Virginia Meissner Sno-Park, grooms on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays as well as holidays such as today (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day). But because of a severe lack of snow and with no new storms in the forecast, starting tomorrow Meissner Nordic is planning to halt grooming operations until further notice. Check the group’s Facebook page for further grooming details.
