I will be rolling the P Rd early in the morning. It should be good for skating or classic (no classic track set). There may be a few rocks so be careful. I will post an update when I’m done – around 0900.Jan 8, 2020 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Finished rolling the 3″ accumulation at 2100. It is skiable – BUT – there are rocks under the thin snow cover. Suggest using old skis and skiing gingerly. If you find rocks or sticks please pitch them off the road – thanksJan 7, 2020 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
1/7/2020 at 1930 – finished rolling the road. Not recommended for skiing yet as the snow cover is Flat Stanley thin, but it was snowing hard when I finished. Hopefully there will be enough accumulation to roll again tomorrow and it will be skiable.Mar 11, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
The Pioneer Road grooming effort is a perfect example of our Nordic ski grooming efforts – it sounds trite, but it’s very true: “if you build it, they will come.” A huge pat on the back to all of you guys that kept that road groomed....Mar 11, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
The ski season for the Pioneer Rd is over. The snow is melting away fast and Enco is plowing the road so they can remove their logs. Thanks to Tim, Mike, and Hank for coming together at the last minute to remove JNSC equipment from the road before Enco arrived. If you...Mar 9, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
The road will be plowed early next week so the logs can be hauled off. It’s been a fun first season. Thanks to JNSC Board member and groomer Wayne Carnes for making it happen!!!Mar 8, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
THANKS TO THE CLUB, Eagle Beach state park, Dave/Eaglecrest and all our overtime and amazing groomers for getting all nordic areas in Juneau ready for our Border to Border event. Ski one or ski all and enjoy one another- that’s the hope; another is that you...Mar 2, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Not groomed today to preserve the limited snow cover. The classic track is still okay. The skate lane is very firm – almost skittery in a few locations – and rocket fast.Mar 1, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Regroomed yesterday afternoon – only the center skate zone – it was good before I started and looked sweet when I left. It probably will not be regroomed over the next few days (it will still be good especially in the middle of the day) as I want to...Feb 28, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Classic skied the whole road from 10 to 1130 and had trail to myself. Still good snow coverage for tracks and skate. Funny how much snow changes from one end to the other. I used violet wax and skied like I had chewing gum on my skis for parts of the trail, like ice...Feb 28, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
I’m planning on resetting the trail later today.Feb 26, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Groomed this morning at 0800. Did not touch the classic track, but it looks good and is rock free. Fresh corduroy down the center!Feb 24, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Headed out to reset skate lane. It should be done by 1130Feb 22, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Received 2″ of snow over what was groomed yesterday. Double classic track set and it is a 7 out 10. Center section is stunning corduroy – very firm with a bit of soft stuff on top. 10 out of 10. Best time of day is 1000-1300 as the sun shines down the...Feb 21, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
By noon today received between 1/4″ and 2″ of high moisture content snow. Rolled entire road for skate only – waiting for a bit more snow and cooler temps before I set the classic (probably tomorrow). The conditions are a bit windy, and the track is...Feb 19, 2019 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
Groomed for classic and skate today. The best conditions are from the gate to the second log pile. Still very skiable the southern half just a bit skinnier on snow coverage. A few rocks still showing in the classic track. Tip of the day – dog owners please...
