Upper loop still good

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....

going, going ….

Explored EB with the skate skis and found about 80% manageable skate skiing, 10% water skiing, and 10% ice skating. Classic skiing would yield a higher percentage of water skiing. Come get what little remains while you can because it doesn’t seem like it will...

EB groomed by 3:30

A bit slushy/icy in places along the River, but nicer throughout the woods. Flattened out the skate lanes. Started to set new classic but it made it worse. Warm out there.
Wind, waves, and a ski track…

Wind, waves, and a ski track…

It’s a wild time out there in Lynn Canal; is that why AMHS canceled their sailing to Haines? The campground at Eagle Beach was groomed nicely by 1130 but that crazy wind keeps adding more snow! The trail up the river towards Eagle Glacier (the Amalga Trail)...

Marginally possible

You can still get a bit of kick and glide out there. Grooming was completed at 1230 and resulted in about 50% decent track, 25% crummy ice, and 25% in between. Couldn’t go very far up the Amalga Trail though.
