HS Team @ MT Creek 1/8

Jan 8, 2026 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen

4:45-6:15 – JDHS HS team will be practicing Thursday night at MT Crk. We are happy to share the trial, but this coach can promise a more peaceful experience before or after we are there! Thank you ski community for supporting us!

Dredge is decent!

Jan 8, 2026 | Backcountry

Wandering the greater dredge area currently, well-packed trails in the common southern areas and a wonderfully supportive crust on beaver ponds and unpacked land including Mendenhall lake shore. Some ponds do have overflow below crust but I have yet to have my skis...

Campground this morning

Jan 7, 2026 | Mendenhall Campground

730 am. 1 to 2 inches fresh snow. A slog in sticky snow on waxless Nordic skiis and totally worth it. Hit your skis with some glide wax just to the rear of the fish scales.

Groomed Tuesday

Jan 6, 2026 | Mendenhall Campground

Heavy work day of five hours at the Campground for those of you who don’t know what it entails. Lots of shoveling around the equipment tents. Light infantry patrol of the course first, encountered numerous alder skirmishers impeding progress. Spent more time off...

Plan for Tuesday

Jan 5, 2026 | Mendenhall Campground

Start time and extent of grooming depends on overnight snow or rain and the conditions we find in the morning. Could be slow going. I’ll update when I have more tomorrow. BF

Groomed

It’s kind of a beautiful blustery morning on MC. The wind was settling down towards the end. I made several trips up and back trying to keep up with the snow. There are probably a few inches of new on top of the groomed track by now. Totally worth the trip! The...

Eaglecrest is closed, so all terrain is open

Jan 5, 2026 | Eaglecrest

When Eaglecrest is open, the upper mountain is closed, and the lower mountain is open, but the out-of-bounds area is also open, unless Eaglecrest is closed, in which case everything is open—got it? I’m as confused as you are. No grooming on the lower loop since...

PR Rolled to Bridge

Jan 4, 2026 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road

Was able to roll out to the bridge tonight with Ray’s help. Hopefully that will allow to roll that section again after this next dump. Will keep you posted.

Merriment ensues upon arrival of Can-Am…

Jan 3, 2026 | Eagle Beach

…and the wee folk of the glen celebrated with good cheer the capable machine that rolled ‘round and round and made their woods passable once again. No classic or smooth skate tracks yet, maybe tomorrow. But you can make your way around too, and also up the river and...
