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...

Groomed and set classic track. Mostly good with some puddles to navigate around.Mar 10, 2018 | Eagle Beach
Eagle Beach is groomed for skate and classic early Saturday morning. Conditions are good. The snow is somewhat wet and compressable, with a fairly thin but good base underneath.Mar 8, 2018 | Eagle Beach
Groomed the main campground roads this afternoon, didn’t get the cut-off trail. Skate track is soft, classic track looks good. Sun breaking through the clouds as I got the ginzu unstuck.Mar 7, 2018 | Eagle Beach
Both skate and classic in great shape after two new inches of snow from last night. Snow stopped as of 11:30 when I left there and some skiers just showing up. Track set up Mt. Mike as well and snow coverage excellent everywhere.
