Montana Sunday

“You clean up nice” most signs of Saturday’s race are covered with a new coat of corduroy thanks to Ben. Temps oddly warm, and pack thin, so he left the diagonal alone. Still a few thin patches but overall, good.

Groomed!

The best XC skiing in town is at the Mendenhall Campground. Silky smooth and hot off the groomer at 9:00 AM. Sorry no classic track the coverage is too skinny. JVern

Saturday – Campground groomed at Noon

I finished grooming at NOON. Conditions are suprisingly good considering how little snow there is. Coverage is very good on the trail and much of the snow is powdery and fairly fast. I recommend you give it a try before the weather changes.

Tiki Torch XC event on 12/29

Hi All, The Juneau State Park Ranger asked me to post this flyer for the Tiki Torch XC ski event at Eagle Beach on 12/29 @ 2 PM. Snow has been ordered. Let’s hope the delivery is on schedule. Happy Holidays!...

Grooming

Montana groomed and looking great. Classic track is not set. Need a little more snow. Section between gun range and top of the hill where the machines are stowed is not groomed yet.

1 km of lower loop rolled and compacted

Scott rolled and compacted a little over 1 km on the lower loop this afternoon, following the hardened trail. Snow is soft. Please respect the work he has started and keep your dogs and your feet off the compacted trail. Skis and snowshoes should be fine. It was tough...
