DILLON \u2014 Along with the opening of the Frisco Nordic Center on Friday<\/a>, three cross-country skiing centers will be open in Summit County come Saturday, with one more set to open Nov. 30.<\/p>\n

Keystone Nordic Center<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Keystone Nordic Center will open Saturday with what Keystone Resort spokeswoman Loryn Roberson described as \u201cearly-season conditions.\u201d Keystone didn\u2019t stipulate which trails will be open, though the terrain will be packed and marked, and rentals will be available.<\/p>\n

The Keystone Nordic Center\u2019s family tubing hill also will open Saturday, and no reservation are required. Snowshoeing will be permitted at the Nordic Center beginning Saturday.<\/p>\n

Breckenridge Nordic Center<\/strong><\/p>\n

Up on the lower slopes of the Tenmile Range, the Breckenridge Nordic Center has 2.5 kilometers of groomed cross-country trails open. The center has opened its training loop, and after 3-plus inches of snow fell overnight, the snowshoe trail to Josie\u2019s Cabin and a portion of the Morning Glory trail opened Friday. Though the trails aren\u2019t tracked, they are groomed.<\/p>\n

The Breckenridge Nordic Center is offering discounted tickets for $15 to access the limited trail offerings. Tickets are usually $25.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working on getting more trails opened, so stay tuned,\u201d said Alison Leonhart, the center\u2019s office administrator.<\/p>\n

Gold Run Nordic Center<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over at the grounds of the Breckenridge Golf Club, the Gold Run Nordic Center plans to open Saturday, Nov. 30.<\/p>\n

Anne Murphy, the town of Breckenridge\u2019s open space and trails manager, said the center is prepared to open two of its main trails: 0.4 miles on Buffalo Flats and a half-mile on Sunset.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully if the snow continues to come down, we can get more terrain open,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re also making snow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening weekend also means open house at Gold Run. On Saturday, the center will conduct a free interactive wax clinic in the morning, and Sunday, the center will host a $30 off-snow exercise session followed by an on-snow clinic.<\/p>\n

Murphy said Saturday\u2019s interactive wax clinic will help skiers to understand what they need to wax their skis as well as different waxes to consider based on temperatures and conditions.<\/p>\n

Murphy described Sunday\u2019s clinic as a refresher geared toward all levels of cross-country skiers. Topics covered will include movement patterns, posture and timing.<\/p>\n

Both clinics are open to classic and skate skiers ages 10 and older.<\/p>\n
