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 11, 2019 | Eagle Beach
Groomed Eagle Beach for skate and classic. Soft conditions for both. Classic track gets soft along main road on left side towards hill, beware the ditch, I got stuck twice! A lot of debris from yesterday, but ginzu buried most of it.Mar 11, 2019 | Mendenhall Campground
3/11 Mon. A few sprinkles but campgrnd good to go. Inner/smaller loop on lake is groomed. Noon. JsMar 11, 2019 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Both tracks came out beautifully. Snow is soft and temps are rising. Almost is hats and gloves off skiing. The campground is firmer but the quiet up Montana Ck. is wonderful. Plenty of snow left and conditions should be better in the mornings after a fresh groom and...Mar 11, 2019 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Should be able to reset both tracks this morning. More to report later, after I get my two laps in post grooming time!Mar 10, 2019 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
If you see R. Imel’s name on the grooming calendar, and it’s a powder day you know that the grooming will eventually be done. After the the schneef has been hoovered. So this day was like any other. There is plenty of material for a reality TV show...Mar 10, 2019 | Mendenhall Campground
Lose your gloves on Saturday, March 9? We found them in the road around 1100, just south of the campground gate. Looks like they were launched off the top of your car. Call 2oh9-5551 to identify and be reunited.Mar 10, 2019 | Mendenhall Campground
CG is groomed. Good rain soaked granular surface. The lake did not get groomed today.Mar 10, 2019 | Mendenhall Campground
To all Juneau area groomers: Eagle Beach, Montana, Campground, Lake, Eagle Crest upper and lower, Pioneer: KIITOS from the 90 of us who skied Border to Border yesterday… able to enjoy the best of 47KM (if you skied all) from the Island to the Mainland- a first...Mar 10, 2019 | Mendenhall Campground
Secret Santa Pre-Sculpted the campground, inner lake loop, and trail across the road Friday night. The only imperfections were from Inspector Clouseau, checking his work prior to Border to Border. His work was top notch.Mar 10, 2019 | Mendenhall Lake
Lake and Campground were double or tripleteamed in an MMF style attack. Result near perfect conditions as the team beat back the washboard with a long slow groove and added milage with a Visitor Center loop. The VC loop was designed to attract only the best people, so...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 9, 2019 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen
Near perfect conditions for both skating and classic—Montana Creek is ready for the border to border. Come on out!Mar 8, 2019 | Mendenhall Lake
Outer loop was finished at noon and inner loop should be done by 1:30. Much of the washboarding was smoothed out by going slow with the groomer, about 10 mph. The downside is that it takes quite a bit longer to groom. Thankfully Doug helped groom the lake. Beautiful...Mar 8, 2019 | Mendenhall Campground
Groomed skate and it’s in great shape. Did not reset classic.
