Think Faster Hippy

Grooming Complete by 10am, but this old hippy couldn’t keep up with the new snow. Track and skating were soft. This is not a complaint. Very likely more grooming tonight as Training Day for new groomers continues. ‘Groom Groms’ as the cool kids...

Eaglecrest fresh snow on groomed loops

Bring your touring skis today; the excellent skate and classic tracks of the past few days are now covered with several inches of new snow, with more coming down, but it’s great touring both on the Lower and Upper loops. Remember you can use your Nordic trail...

Eagle Beach Grooming Sat. AM

Two of us are planning on fine tuning the Eagle Beach Ski Trails from about 10 – 12 today. Will try to do the Methodist Loop as well for the first time.

Moonlighting at Eagle Beach

Nordic trails through the campground in great shape Friday, now with 4+” fresh snow. Thanks to tracksetters! Carpool out north for fantastic skiing under the full moon!

Outstanding!

The Eaglecrest crew has outdone themselves on the Upper Loop. The entire loop is groomed to perfection. Perfect corduroy, perfect classic tracks. They made all kinds of new connectors and route changes. You can ski for hours and never ski the exact same loop....

Groomer

Upper Loop extended, FANTASTIC

Upper Loop was in perfect shape today for skate and classic; does not get better. Also EC packed the entire Troy loop extension to get it ready for more snow coming– it has brush etc in spots but can be skated the whole way if careful. Lower Loop has not been...
