Classic track on Mendenhall Lake

Scott set a classic track on Mendenhall Lake late Friday afternoon. The old classic track was blown out and icy, and the new track is more skiable. Dress and wax for the cold. I found it better to walk down to the lake before I put on my skis in order to avoid all the...

Paul groomed the camp ground. The inter part does not have much debris and little more on the side near the lake. But is skiable.

Campground groomed for skate. Lake groomed for skate and classic with a 4.8K loop and a 3k loop. There is a race there tonight starting at 6pn with moon light should be great. Grooming my Scott and GPS making by Betsy.

Mendenhall Lake and Camp Ground groomed for Skate this morning. Could not post as Web Site was down. No Classis track set. The loop on the lake is 4.8 km.

Camp Ground will be groomed for Skate around noon. Not enough snow for Classic. Lake may be OK for skate not groomed.

Wed 1/28 Snow!

Scott rolled and compacted the new snow at the campground. The snow layer is very thin and there are exposed rocks in sections. Easy classic skiing on old skis would be best. Skate skiing is not recommended unless you want to ding up your bases. The compacted snow...

Ice, Ice, Baby

The Zamboni got stuck in the drive up at Mcdonalds, it never made it to the campground. That was Sedgesprite’s plan after viewing the prospects. Couldn’t make the corners had to make due with a chillichino before they noticed it was gone. It’s no...

Wed 1/14 – Campground groomed, very wet

Scott groomed the campground this morning. Skate lane groomed out smoothly. Classic track is not so good. Some very wet spots in places. Anyone or anything not on skis will quickly degrade the groomed skate lane, so get out there early.

Slushy, but very skiable

The campground was wet and slushy, but surprisingly skiable. Skate skiing was fast and fun with a group of about 20 young aspiring racers tonight. As long as there is snow cover, our groomers will make sure we have trails to ski on!

Manscaping

Campground groomed for the racers this am. Lake groomed near 11. Jeff White cleaned up the track after the racers were done and added another skating lane on the other side of the double diagonal track on the lake. Conditions are pretty good.
