Eagle Beach is now groomed for classic and skate. There has been less snow out the road than closer to town (opposite of normal), so coverage is a bit thin under the trees, but skiers are reporting good skiing. Ranger Brad also rolled and packed the Methodist Loop on...Jan 7, 2020 | Eagle Beach
Ranger Brad rolled and packed Eagle Beach campground this morning. Conditions are skiable, but still thin; a few rocks and other obstacles are showing. Still too thin to set a classic track. The next dump of snow will make it nice.Dec 22, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Ranger Brad rolled the campground around noon. No track set yet, but snow is okay for classic on main road. Major bare spot in woods on back loop, but a short loop around the hill has adequate coverage. . Too thin for the Ginzu, so skating would be rough.Mar 20, 2019 | Eagle Beach

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
