Eagle Beach

I rolled and packed the campground this morning. The snow really stuck to the roller, so the surface is clumpy and soft. No good for skating, but okay for classic. Where I set a track, the classic skiing was good and fast. Our Skidoo continues to lug down, even after...

More snow

Went back out this afternoon with fuel and there’s lots more snow. So rolled in again from Gate to end of trail. Did not set a classic track. Should be able to get one set tomorrow.

Montana Creek

Montana Creek rolled this morning for Skate. Don gave it a *** rating . I rolled it twice from Bridge up. There is a two roller track down the hill to bridge. Could not groom to gate as skies go to pavement and a can not move. I posted this at noon but for some reason...

Wed 1/28 Snow!

Scott rolled and compacted the new snow at the campground. The snow layer is very thin and there are exposed rocks in sections. Easy classic skiing on old skis would be best. Skate skiing is not recommended unless you want to ding up your bases. The compacted snow...

Spaulding Meadows

This evening I hauled my skis up to the John Muir cabin in Spaulding Meadows. Approaching the meadows, what appeared at first to be snow was actually the white air drop gravel bags. I had spikes but did not use them going up. There were some snow fields in the meadows...

Dan Moeller Upper Meadows

Yesterday evening hiked to Dan Moeller cabin using spikes put on once into the narrows. Skied the upper basin. Very soft and a bit difficult to turn coming down the meadows northwest of the cabin. Spotty snow and some grass runs. Put spikes back on to descend through...

Groomer Magic Gone

We are beating a dead horse! Mostly bare pavement from gate to bottom of first hill. Then ice to bridge. Ice from bridge to about half way up. I did try to groom machine slipping on the ice most of the way up. It does get better the further you go. Gray icy snow....

Montana Creek skiable

Montana Creek may not be groomable as it is pure ice down the first hill, but once across the bridge it is still skiable. Wet and icy in spots, but that makes for good balance practice. Double pole the iciest spots. From bridge to the end of the trail one way is 2.35...
