Grooming was delayed slightly as Juneau’s Good Samaritan Snow Law was tested. The verdict in Bolt v. Subaru: Bolt prevails. The Bolt was able to ‘slingshot’ the hapless high centered Suby back onto the roadway. It only took about 30 minutes for the...Jan 16, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Hopes versus reality. Either way, fresh track 1100, or hopefully sooner, so you all can make the most of your day. My concern is the predicted freezing fog. No one wants a set ice track, let alone the groomer spending hours on it. My hope is that the fog patches will...

FYI- there is a new set classic track. It starts a couple hundred meters up the first hill. Don’t be fooled by the short section at the bottom, on the opposite side. That was a short test strip. Feast while you...Jan 14, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
We will not be grooming Saturday as the snow is too saturated to safely groom. The skating should still be fast and funJan 14, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Stuart here- First lab done. Will have a new classic track set starting around 1140.Jan 13, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Finished grooming Skate and Classic. Classic line a little ragged. Parking lot still for truck only but plenty room on road for cars.Jan 13, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Heading out soon, should be groomed by 11:00Jan 12, 2022 | Mendenhall Campground, Mendenhall Lake, Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen, N. Douglas Pioneer Road, Eaglecrest, Eagle Beach, Backcountry
I think the title is straight forward. As a groomer, passing the buck on not picking up your own poo (your dog, your poo) is insulting. Sure, CONVENIENCE of having poo bags and trash cans provided for you is nice. But it is just that- a convenience. AS THE DOG OWNER,...Jan 12, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Warning: north end of road very icyJan 11, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Hey also you intrepid skiers. The P Rd was excellent skate skiing Tuesday. It will not be groomed tomorrow (Wednesday) to let some of the water drain. I don’t know about you, but I’m headed out there tomorrow for a rip on that fast snow. The plan is to...

Thanks to yesterdays skier that did not clean up after their dog. They win a dog poop wall of shame...Jan 11, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Finished grooming for skate and classic. It is a little soft, but should be super fast with pink wax on your skate skis. The classic track is good too – recommend no wax skis. Be careful N. Douglas Hwy is slippery.Jan 11, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Headed out now to try and groom. Maybe done around noonJan 10, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Made 6 round trips machine packing and rolling. It is not the best, but it is a start on getting this dump of snow and rain packed out. No classic track set. Hopefully we will be able to get the ginzu out tomorrow to smooth out all the bumps. Suggest non waxable...Jan 9, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Tomorrow morning weather permitting I will attempt to machine pack the road. Any further grooming will depend on conditions. In any case it will be a classic skiJan 9, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Groomer attempted access at 8 this morning. No plowing beyond ECR (Eagle Crest Road). Will update.
