Like a slice of the Yukon, right here at Eagle Beach

Sure it was zero degrees in the Eagle/Herbert valley this morning, but isn’t that the point? The cold wash of air in your nostrils is a “breath-away” experience you shouldn’t miss. And your friendly groomers have been busy making ideal skate...

Groomed up so, so well

It looks amazing at the EB Campground now. So smooth and sinuous, take your good skis. Both classic and skating are excellent. The Eagle River (Amalga) Trail and the Methodist Camp trail still need some work as a tree blocks access at the north end.

Montana Creek

Late post. Groomed the skate track and left the classic which goes all the way to the end. You have to watch for a few rocks which are poking up. Generally fine. -4 this morning Steve G

It’s Island Time

Grooming was completed at 1730. Set for both skate and classic. It was a bit soft but I expect it to firm up overnight. As Tony the Tiger would say “It Is Great!”

Cowabunga, 18” storm total!

Worked it hard -roll, roll, rolling all day. So much snow, so little time. Worth the drive most certainly. Tomorrow I’ll set a classic track with the Ginzu groomer magic carpet rider. Woohoo. Caveat; trails up the Eagle River and behind Methodist Camp were compressed...

Lower loop groomed

Scott groomed the lower loop this morning. He added the section that leads from the lower parking lot. Classic track is good, skate lane is firm, but narrow. It is COLD. +5 degrees at the lodge. Dress warmly.
