Nordmor

Nordmor is a cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 2 miles from the town of Cable. It is a short out-and-back trip of roughly 0.24 miles, with a total climb of 11 feet. That makes it an easy outing, one that works well as a warm-up or a break in a longer day of skiing the surrounding trails. The route starts at about 1,356 feet and reaches a high point of 1,364 feet before returning to the starting level. The steepest stretch is near the beginning, with a grade of about 4 percent. The low point on the route is 1,347 feet, so the whole trip sits within a small elevation range. Winter is the natural season for cross-country skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond, Wisconsin, show January highs around 19°F and lows near 3°F. By contrast, July and August run in the mid-70s by day and the mid-50s at night. Several other ski routes sit just 0.1 mile away, including Bauer, Elevator Shaft and Two Step, making it easy to link them together. The Namekagon River offers river fishing about a mile away, and Two Lakes campground is roughly 8 miles off.
