Anyone have a plow truck? Pioneer Road parking lot could use a quick plow so more folks can fit in. Thanks, Fred

You know those gorgeous pictures of perfectly groomed Nordic trails, without a mark? I am thrilled I can’t post one, as the trail was being used as soon as I was grooming. I find the following photo instructive: the same skate skier, out and back. You can tell the...Dec 3, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Dream grooming on Pioneer Road this morning for skate and classic! Thanks Stuart!! Note: Parking area is unplowed so recommend parking on the highway if you don’t have four-wheel drive.Dec 3, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Stuart is headed out to groom the P Rd. He should be done by early afternoon. Suggest grabbing a headlamp and doing a night ski before or after dinner.Dec 2, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Really fun tracks setting up well. Clean cut! Skate lane needs some skiers lovin’ it too. And the humpbacks and sea lions are at play too. Thank you Island Boy!Dec 2, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Finished at 1200. Made two compaction round trips and then one final trip with the Ginzu teeth and Classic setter down. Very nice set for both skate and classic and it is starting to set up. Skate should be rocket fast.Dec 1, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
I plan on grooming the P Rd first thing in the morning. After coffee:)Dec 1, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Not sure why this did not post yesterday. Machine there now, so hopefully tomorrow. *********** I went to roll the trail and found heaps of snow. Lucky JNSC folks we are, we have great folks to do maintenance. Flip side of that coin is momentarily without a machine to...Nov 28, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
I classic skied the P Rd this afternoon and it was wonderful with 4″ of new on top. Between shuffling equipment I groomed it – OMG it looked amazing – but it was a bit dark…. The classic track is very good and the skate lane is good too with a...Nov 27, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Well it happened – it was groomed today. It is not primo, but it is decent classic and skate. Beware of thin spots. Likely not grooming tomorrow to allow more accumulation and the wet snow to set up Anyone want to help make the temp bridge better text Wayne...Apr 11, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Just getting started on resetting Pioneer Road. Gray sky, snowing lightly, no wind. Conditions should be prime.Apr 9, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Pioneer Road classic track and skate lane reset Friday evening. Conditions are very, very good.

Pioneer Road covered with 4 inches of snow. Bring your classic or touring skis or snow shoes, but leave the skate skis home. Blue sky and you can barely hear the hooters above Middle Point at the end of the...Apr 9, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
The classic track was set, and skate portion groomed, but 4 inches of snow accumulated between start to finish, so it’s pretty much a “break trail” situation.Apr 6, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
I’ll am about to reset set classic and one narrow skate lane on way back in. It’s a little soft but skiable.Apr 4, 2021 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Pioneer Road not groomed since Friday and in good condition. Snow had firmed up in the morning and classic track was smooth and fast. Hooters at the end of the trail clammed up with the clouds coming in and cooling temperatures.
