Although the skiing is great almost everywhere (and yesterday‘s sunset seem to last for days!), Don and Peter spent yesterday piling snow and setting a nice deep classic track with a little corduroy on the side to boot. Remember, skiing on the lake is at your own...Dec 1, 2022 | Mendenhall Lake
This little bit of snow just might allow our Trail Bosses to set some track on the lake. They’ll be out tomorrow plowing, piling, and grooming in hopes of getting a nice loop in on the west side. Remember, no ice is 100% safe. Ski at your own risk. The ski club...Nov 29, 2022 | Eaglecrest
We went back to the upper loop Monday morning and explored the Troy Loop trail. Another adventure on classic skis. Snow is thin but skiable. One notable creek crossing in order to get to the nice snow on the slopes facing the Hilda drainage. We did not attempt the...Nov 27, 2022 | Eaglecrest
No grooming but the upper loop area has skiable snow. Scott and I skied in a rough classic track in the meadow behind the cabin but did not get back to the Troy Loop. Watch for wet spots beyond the meadow. Easy access on the road although there were so many rocks that...Nov 13, 2022 | Eaglecrest
…the lower loop is groomed! Some JNSC volunteers went up to shovel in some low areas Friday and Eaglecrest ran the piston bully to pack the lower loop and lay some corduroy. Upper Loop has even more snow and has been packed out by some intrepid skiers. Early...Nov 2, 2022 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Unfortunately, the current bridge across Montana Creek has been closed to any and all traffic (foot or otherwise) until a replacement bridge is installed. Thanks to the responsiveness of Alaska DOT staff, the JNSC board is working to install a temporary solution for...Nov 1, 2022 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road
BIG THANK YOU to the dozens of volunteers who helped pulled alders on Pioneer Road. I know a few groomers and a bunch of skiers who won’t miss them once the snow flies…

Monday will probably be the last day grooming for Montana Cr. this season (sorry about crying wolf last week). I should be finished grooming by 8:30 Monday. Should be decent skiing again as it’s supposed to freeze tonight....Apr 17, 2022 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen

Lots of pine needles but still skiable. If you stop at the end for a minute, you will hear a chorus of hooters booming from the surrounding hills.Apr 16, 2022 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
I’ll groom for skate skiing from 7:30-9:00 Sunday morning. JTApr 15, 2022 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Montana Cr will be groomed for skate Saturday and Sunday. That could end it or it could go a couple more days beyond the weekend. Check back. I will groom Saturday morning and will be done by 9:00. Best skiing will be before 11. JTApr 15, 2022 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Groomed for skate at 10:00. Classic track poor shape.Apr 14, 2022 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Don just groomed and it is good firm skate skiing all the way from the parking lot. Have a great summer.
