“Full moon skiing is just a magical experience. There’s nothing else like it.” ⛷
The Uncompahgre Nordic Association debuted a new network of cross-country skiing trails on the night of Jan. 6, welcoming about 60 people from the greater Montrose area to inaugurate the freshly-groomed tracks beneath the light of a full moon. Well, at least, until the weather set in.
While the concept of nighttime Nordic skiing is hardly new – Shellhorn recalls his first time going in Lake Tahoe in the 1980s – Colorado groups are increasingly hosting formal events to make the sport more accessible and raise awareness about their organizations, many of which are funded by donations., few cross-country areas have floodlights to illuminate the terrain.
Grand Mesa Nordic Council hosted full moon skis in December and January, and plans to do one more on Feb. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. complete with a bonfire, hot chocolate and candles lighting some of the trails. These events are free to attend, but require skiers bring their own gear, including a headlamp. Bring the kids, too, Aschwanden said.
“As you start skiing more you get warmer, and as the night goes on it gets colder. You have to balance the temperature with your physical exertion,” he said. “And like the other night when we were up there and it was snowing, it’s always good to have water-repellant stuff so snow doesn’t soak your outer garments.”
When Grand Mesa Nordic Council hosts full moon skiing, it also sets up a bonfire, serves hot chocolate and provides s'mores fixins for kids.
