Smoothed out the ruts and boot prints in the skate lane, but couldn’t do much about the icy classic tracks. At least the rain stopped.Feb 19, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground
Campground groomed for skate only. Classic track is very thin. Did not groom the lake. Water in the classic tracks and slush forming under a very wet top layer of snow make grooming impractical.Feb 18, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground
Groomed classic and skate. Light rain and 34* but still great!!Feb 17, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
Campground groomed for skate, really nice. I tried to set a new classic track, which was a mistake. Snow too shallow and dry, so the new track came out…shallow with low sides and uneven base, very poor. Lake being groomed for skate now. BF

Campground: Groomed for skate, left classic alone. Beware of USFS vehicles and tire ruts . Lake: Groomed for skate and left the 4, 5,6 or however many there are excellent classic tracks alone....Feb 14, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
I’ll start grooming the campground about 7:30 and then Peter and I will groom the lake starting about 9:30. JTFeb 13, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
Forest service is doing some work in the campground so expect a few tire tracks later. Lake is looking really good. Check out the new track over towards the visitor center that allows you to park near there and still access the tracksFeb 10, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
Campground groomed for skate. Equipment problems prevented setting a new classic track. Old classic still fast and mostly good but worn down in a few places. Main lake loop groomed for skate. BFFeb 8, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
Both the campground & lake are fully groomed as of 10:30 Saturday. The sun is out & conditions are close to perfection.

I’ll spend about an hour refreshing the campground skate lane starting about 7:30 and then work on the lake with Don afterwards. JTFeb 6, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
Grooming was completed by 11:30 with very good results. Some tricky new loops out on the lake to discover.Feb 5, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
Yellow Can Am is up and Running . The No Start this morning was the Key not seating as deep as is required for good contact. Battery Voltage was good. A second Ginzu Groomer is now at the Camp Ground. It will work for grooming skate lanes , how ever the Classical...Feb 4, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground
Classic and skate are still in great shape so I’m going to brush overhanging alters instead of grooming. 10* and sunny!Feb 3, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake
Both Mendenhall Lake and Campground have been groomed. A second classic track has been made on the lake as well widen. Dress warmly.
