Eagle Beach Sunday Plan

The plan is to head out first thing in the morning to regroom. Hope to be done by 10ish (depends how hard it freezes tonight). IslandBoy

Eagle Beach Recon

Since Mr. McKenna was so interested in conditions way out the road, I checked it out this afternoon. Temp was 13 F @ noon. Track had been freshly rolled, but not Ginzued. I saw Island Boy leaving the State Parks parking lot, so I’m not sure if he was grooming or...
Great skating

Great skating

The campground at Eagle Beach State Park was groomed for skating recently and it’s awesome! You could classic ski too, but there is no classic...

Rough!

The trails have not been groomed for a while, icy and crusty no set track only old ski tracks to follow. Easier to walk than ski. It is not possible to skate. A few downed trees need to be cleared but passable.

Snow machine loop

Parking lot closed while the rangers plow and deal with ice. There is a narrow snow machine loop through the campground that one could classic on – deep heavy snow outside of the track.

Eagle Beach Campground awaits skiers

A skate track is groomed out at Eagle Beach – classic skier tracks can be followed under the bridge and along the small loop on the outside of Methodist Camp. Good stuff…

Groomed!

Went for a stroll out the road this morning and discovered what appears to be nearly untouched grooming! Didn’t have my skis so didn’t venture back into the trees, but there’s more snow out there than anywhere else south on the road system.

Eagle Beach area good for variety…

Skate track is groomed around campground – a bit bumpy…good balance training…wide lanes and some more narrow lane connectors here and there which are a little too narrow for a good skate…no classic track set but there is a good classic skier...

Groomed a couple days ago

Skied the campground yesterday, looks like it had been groomed Monday or Tuesday, but this new snow today should make for some excellent powder classic skiing or clean new corduroy (if it gets groomed). Plus, looks like the Eagle River Bridge Troll shoveled snow under...
Groomed!

Groomed!

Was out with the fam yesterday morning and arrived to a winter wonderland! Freshly groomed skate with a little classic track to boot. They had about a foot of snow two days ago. Probably still great...

minimal grooming done thus far

Got a hot tip that there has been some rolling of the EB campground over the last couple of weeks, but rocks and debris have prevented further grooming efforts.
