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.

After-groom delight

New snow, new trail, fresh corduroy, what are you waiting for? We even groomed (classic only) the first mile of the Amalga Trail toward Eagle Galcier!

Eagle Beach crystal snow heavenly

Hard to believe but the classic track is holding well and the skate is easy peasy. Lots of smiling folx enjoying the JNSC grooming grooves and vibes today. Chilly temps, no wind. High tide.

Wow, the best!

After Peter scraped up more crystalline snow he was able to set a decent classic track this morning. Skating is still great. Pro-tip: you can be in the sun at the top of the hill before 12:30.

Groomer

Skate ski outstanding Classic ok Eagle beach has groomers scheduled through Jan 4. Should be great skiing
