3 Creek Ranch Nordic Track Update

Greetings from the Nordic Center,

Snow continues to fall in our beautiful town of Jackson..with another 8 to possibly 12 inches of new snow expected next week. As you can expect, our Nordic track continues to be in perfect shape, and we invite all of you to enjoy these extraordinary later season conditions.

We will be closing the Nordic Center Sunday, March 19, and I kindly request that you pick up any ski equipment you have in the Nordic Center before this date. Please let me know if we can be of assistance in any way. We will continue to groom our track for as long as conditions allow.

Respectfully,
Roger
Nathan
