As of 2/19 the Pioneer Rd consisted of 1/3 gravel, 1/3 ice, and 1/3 icy snow. The 2″ of snow we just received was not enough to allow grooming. We need at a minimum several more inchesFeb 7, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
We are taking advantage of the wet weather and low snow to pull our machine for a midseason servicing. Hopefully early next week we will have some new snow and the machine ready. Skiing is still good out there as of today.Feb 6, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Don’t believe a word of it. You are made of sugar, and you will melt if you stay out too long in the rain. It nearly happened to the groomer and the trail boss this weekend. 7 trips out and back to pack al that snow. And that was just to pack it down. Then the...Feb 6, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
grooming should be complete around 11Feb 4, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Plan on starting very early. I expect it is going to be very fast skating and decent classic skiing. And just a reminder if it is raining all that is going to happen is you are going to get wet 🙂 Plan on coming out to the Island and ripping around before the rain...Feb 4, 2022 | N.

It took 6hrs and two groomers to make it happen today. Doug starting it off with 7round trips with just the machine track packing the deep heavy snow. He handed off to Wayne who made 3round trips with the ginzu compacting and leveling Doug’s work. Did not set a...Feb 3, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Classic track set. Shallow spots have filled in nicely, groomed all way to the end with no rocks showing. Snowing lightly. Advise you to park on side of road and avoid parking lot unless you have a truck.Feb 3, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Will be heading out to P.R. about 8:30. Should be able to give update around noon.Feb 2, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Rolled to the end of the road. Soft with some rocks after the halfway point (rock pit). Snow is a bit weird, but will be good classic touringFeb 2, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Headed out this morning to see if there is enough fresh snow to make it groomable. Expect to update by noon on the conditions.Jan 29, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Bad – Grooming cancelled until further notice due to limited/no snow cover. Good – Temporary bridge upgraded. Good – Lower temps and snow in the forecast Good – Grooming still happening in the valley Good – We have groomed over 85 days so...Jan 29, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
10 am Sat. Pioneer skiing on the Pioneer road! Groomed for skate & classic (& walking), but only for approximately one mile, due to large icy & bare sections on road. Sm. Log barrier at turnaround. Lightly raining & breezy, nice out!

I prefer our four legged friends to most two legged. PLEASE keep in mind that when temps are this warm, big paws chew up the track very quickly AND are very hard to repair when grooming henceforth. Use thoughtfulness and logic when choosing where to take your four...Jan 27, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Somehow it was stiff enough that I could lay a classic track that was beyond any hope I had. Get it while it is fresh!Jan 27, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Stuart here- Heading out the door, and sadly temperatures rose last night. Setting new classic was already quite marginal. I will asses, but new classic is not looking likely. If i cannot, I will try to leave what is there already, assuming it is viable. I would...Jan 26, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Stuart here- FYI- in case you do not already know, the trail is only being groomed +/-1/2 way, to the unbridged creek crossing. Dentist appointment allowing, I look to have the trail groomed by 1000, both skate and classic. As always, I will update ASAP if there are...
