Groomed the skate track at Eagle this morning. Got most of it, but because of machine issues only did one pass on the first part of the road and the cut-off trail. The Ginzu broke up the hard pack well, a little coarse but definitely skiable. I left the classi track...Feb 2, 2019 | Eagle Beach
The hardpack at Eagle Beach was groomed extensively Friday night and Saturday by ranger Brad and volunteers. The Juneau Nordic Ski Team held practice there are reports decent skiing. The classic track is somewhat icy, but the skate lanes were smoothed and grooved....Jan 25, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Eagle Beach was groomed for skate and classic Friday evening. Conditions are generally good, with soft, wet snow. Beware of tree debris (needles, twigs, small sticks) in parts of the back loop.Jan 18, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Both classic track and skate lane were groomed at Eagle Beach. Very good conditions. The snow out there is like everywhere else; dry crystals thawed earlier this week and now frozen and smoothed by the ginzu.Jan 16, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Hope to iron out all the bumps, flatten the corduroy and reset both skate and classic. See you out there!Jan 12, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Skate and classic tracks were set Saturday morning at Eagle Beach. Sticky, compressible snow was rolled and compacted to make a good base with good skiing.Jan 11, 2019 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake, Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen, Eaglecrest, Eagle Beach, Backcountry
A double classic track and skate lane will be skiable by 11AM Saturday. Come try out this new trail while we have low elevation snow!! Watch our for the occasional rock.Jan 11, 2019 | Eagle Beach
The Eagle Beach snow machine is fixed – at least for now – and Ranger Brad was busy rolling and track setting Friday. More grooming will continue through the weekend.Jan 9, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Due to a snow machine breakdown, Eagle Beach will not be groomed from Jan 9 until further notice. Wish us luck.Jan 4, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Eagle Beach was icy and full of frozen ruts and post-hole boot tracks, but the ginzu chopped up most of it Friday night. The result: there will be some fair skate skiing this weekend. We emphasize “fair” – there are some thin icy spots on the back...Dec 31, 2018 | Eagle Beach
Set both classic and skate track at Eagle Beach. Snow is wet and fast. Rain was light at first, but then started to pick up. If you don’t mind getting wet, there is still skiing to be had.Dec 27, 2018 | Eagle Beach
Eagle Beach rolled and groomed, ready to go for both classic and skate skiing! Fine conditions when I left at 1Pm with a light rain (unlike Auke Bay and downtown). Conditions were fast and temps in mid 30’s.Dec 24, 2018 | Eagle Beach
Coverage much better, back loop now skiable but watch for a couple of thin spots. Rolled and groomed for skate and classic, ginzu doing a nice job until heavy sticky snow midday jammed it up. An adventure just getting it back to the shed! Thanks Ron for helping me get...Dec 21, 2018 | Eagle Beach
Ranger Brad, StoneGuy, and I rolled Eagle Beach Campground. Coverage is too thin for setting a classic track, and too thin for skiing the back-loop under the trees. We did groom a short-track, down the main-campground road, up the hill and down the inside loop back to...
