Campground skiable

Dec 3, 2014 | Mendenhall Campground

Scott made a couple of passes on the campground this morning with the roller. Footprints and dog prints from last night froze into the track and he was not able to smooth it completely out, but it is skiable. A rough classic track exists and several classic skiers...

Eagle Beach

Dec 3, 2014 | Eagle Beach

We have rolled the Eagle campground the past three days to set up a base. The snow is still pretty thin in the woods, not enough to set a track. The corduroy is amenable for classic inmost places, too lumpy for skating.

Camp ground was skate and classic set this morning. Not perfect but you can ski! Snow got heavier as I groomed and kept plugging the roller.

Lower Loop classic track

Dec 2, 2014 | Eaglecrest

I will set a classic track on the Eaglecrest lower loop by noon today. Waiting for a bit more snow, as of yesterday afternoon the trail needed another 3-4 inches to set a classic track. However, the skiing with only a skier-made track was surprisingly good for only a...

I will be working the Nordic Trails supervisor position again at Eaglecrest, part time, and need to hire 1-2 others especially on weekends, several hours a day. You can get paid with a free season pass, or alpine day passes, or be on the payroll. Contact me if you...

Spaulding conditions perfect

Dec 1, 2014 | Backcountry

Spaulding Meadows received a good dump of cold, soft snow and ski touring up there is as good as it gets. Spaulding trail is in good shape – no muddy or icy spots. Scott and I packed in a good trail today and the skiing up there is limitless. Bonus feature: no...
More Black Bear

More Black Bear

Cold, new snow. Like yesterday, only better. 20″ at the midpoint of BlackBear. Some soft turns from the ridge. Watch for...

Mendenhall Campground rolled this morning

Dec 1, 2014 | Mendenhall Campground

I groomed the campground this morning with four passes. There’s almost enough packed snow now to cover the speed bumps. So, it’s still not deep enough for classic tracks, and the skating will improve as the base deepens. There’s a nice corduroy...

Eaglecrest update

Dec 1, 2014 | Eaglecrest

Packed the EC lower loop gravel trail yesterday. 8 inches of dry powder snow packed down to a 3 inch base. Coverage on the gravel trail is good, twigs and grass showing in the meadow, lots of brush in the woods. Headed up soon to try to set a classic track, there may...

Rolled Sunday

Dec 1, 2014 | Eagle Beach

Eagle Beach was rolled & packed on Sunday to start forming a base for skiing. Did not set a classic track, as the snow is still thin, especially in the tree on the back loop.

We classic skied this afternoon – 2-3 pm. Lots of snow but a few times hit rough ground under the fluffy stuff. Once groomed and with a solid base it will be awesome!

Eaglecrest update

Nov 30, 2014 | Eaglecrest

It was great to finally wake up to snow on the ground this morning. Eaglecrest is reporting 3 inches of snow overnight at the lodge as of 9:30 this morning. This snow is pretty light, and there was no snow on the lower loop prior to this snowfall, so it is probably...

Spaulding is awesome

Nov 28, 2014 | Backcountry

There is 4-5″ of crunchy stuff, sunshine, no wind, and limitless skiing up here now. Light BC is best although you could skate if you really wanted. Strap on the skis after a 75 min walk up.
