The Upper Loop is groomed for skate and classic. Expect firm and fast in the morning, and softer in the afternoon. Unmarked hazards exist, so use caution out there. Stadium loop, cabin loop, showboat loop, Blackbear hill and loop, and a shortened Hilda out and back...Mar 25, 2025 | Eaglecrest, Eagle Beach
I’ve been teaching skate ski lessons on the upper loop for the past couple of days, and it is still good skiing. Classic track is still there and looks good. It gets a little mushy when many skiers have been around it, especially in the meadow/stadium area....Mar 25, 2025 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Upper Montana Creek is still fair for skate skiing. Lower 2 k pretty much ice. Equipment is now coming in for servicing and storage. We managed to have 119 days of skiing this year. Thank to all the groomers and for all members for their...Mar 23, 2025 | Eaglecrest

I just had to try grooming Montana Creek this morning at 8:30am, light rain and 30 degrees at the turn around. Past the bridge the ice pack is hard, not much more than grooved ice. If your hardy enough, ice cleats a must, there is a bit of slush on grooved ice on the...Mar 20, 2025 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Despite the groomer’s gloomy report, I thought the skate skiing was decent, starting at the bridge and to the end. The usual icy spots had just enough texture to ski without a problem. Easy coming downhill. The grooming helped!! Thank you, Dave H!Mar 20, 2025 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Nor much skiing of any kind until you get past the slide chute/hump. Even then I’m not sure I improved it much with grooming. I left the existing classic track from about the middle up towards the end but then reset the classic closer to the end where there was...Mar 20, 2025 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
