Busted Arm Draw!
The premier winter playground of Norwood Colorado.
NNA is a 100% volunteer run and member supported organization with the goal of expanding Nordic skiing opportunities in Norwood for all ages and abilities. NNA is responsible for grooming and maintaining skate and classic trails at Busted Arm Draw. We also organize and host special events like full moon skiing. The NNA was launched in the fall of 2016.

3/24/21 - Well, the new snow last night was a welcome surprise (3+ inches). But we pulled all the grooming equipment from Busted Arm yesterday.
If you still need to ski get up there today or start making plans to go to Priest Lake or Grand Mesa.
It has been a good season - Enjoy!
3/18/21 - Groomed again this morning. We may be done grooming for the season if it gets as warm as predicted today and tomorrow. It should still be good for classic ski this weekend. Enjoy!
Groomed for skate this afternoon. A bit sticky out there today but should be good tomorrow morning before it gets warm. Beyond that we'll have to see. Uncertain whether the base we have will make it through the next warm spell...
Special Thanks To:
