Trails Skied: #1 - A,B,C,D,E,K, #15 - parking lot to Z, Thea's Way, Jackrabbit - NakNorth Field, Glide Wax: Blue, Grip Wax: Violet
With Eastern's at Nakkertok South the weekend the LTS crowd was up enjoying Nakkertok North. The conditions were fabulous - groomed wide, firm and lots of fresh snow on Sunday afternoon.
If you are looking for an adventure North doesn't get much more inviting or forgiving than it is right now.
I'm also told the North-to-South route is groomed for those looking to scout it out before the Weber Loppet.
Nakkertok also has a set of trails in Val-des-Monts, with access from Hwy 366, which offer classic skiers an opportunity to explore more rugged terrain. Nakkertok Val-des-Monts is also the point of departure for the annual Weber Loppet and the venue for Thea’s Race in the spring. It also features a main chalet where you can warm up. The backcountry trails at Val-des-Monts are groomed by snowmobile track-setter for classic skiing only at present.
Val-des-Monts’ trails are generally more challenging than those of South, but there are some nice short loops. Many members have never discovered what Val-des-Monts has to offer. The snow lasts longer, the hills are beautiful, and there are certainly some thrills.
