groomed

Dec 8, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground

Finished grooming at 4 p.m. Very thin snow cover, and now that it is colder, the wet ground is forming ice underneath. New classic track set. Some ice patches and spots where there was not enough snow to hold a track. Forest Service plowing one side of road from gate...

PR Rolled

Dec 8, 2025 | N. Douglas Pioneer Road

PR Rolled this morning and seems to be in good shape. Will let in firm up over night and attempt groom tomorrow or Wednesday morning. Will keep you posted.

First grooming of the year!!!

Dec 8, 2025 | Montana Creek Kaxdigoowu Héen

Rolled by Don yesterday and groomed today by TK. The road bed is not frozen yet making it difficult to set a good classic track. It was damp in a few spots but that should set with the cold temps coming. I only set the classic to the bridge. It is kind of bumpy...

Lower loop is soft and cold

Dec 8, 2025 | Eaglecrest

14 degrees in lower loop this morning! Soft, cold snow. Scott is grooming right now and hopes to get a classic track set, if the equipment cooperates. It’s still lovely skiing without a groomed track. ❄️

3km groomed on lower loop

Dec 7, 2025 | Eaglecrest

Scott used the CanAm + ginzu to groom the hardened section of the lower loop. Classic skiing is good, even without a set classic track. Skate skiing might be possible, but conditions are soft. No real hazards despite low snowpack. Watch for wet spots. Dogs and foot...

Dec 7 – Sunday AM – groomed.

Dec 7, 2025 | Mendenhall Campground

The campground is groomed and this is the best I’ve seen it this winter. We need more snow and colder temperatures but this provides a good base. FYI BEWARE – A portion of the campground road is being plowed to accommodate the construction of the new...

Scott groomer

Nov 30, 2025 | Eaglecrest

I started grooming from the lodge, up the road to the base of the Black Bear chair, to the top of the Hooter chair then still following the road, to the flats at the base of Raven. It was snowing hard as of 10:30am. I made two passes from top to bottom but the track...

Upper loop is skiing as good as ever

Apr 3, 2025 | Eaglecrest

Groomed for skate and classic. I didn’t get on the trail until after 11:30 am and I still had first tracks. Sweet skate skiing! Classic looked good, too. Conditions should hold until the rain starts. My advice: go skiing on Friday morning!

Upper loop groomed this morning

Apr 3, 2025 | Eaglecrest

The upper nordic loop has been freshly groomed this morning. Expect fast, firm conditions early this morning and softer, warmer conditions come the afternoon. Hooter will be open from 1PM – 4PM for those who would like to take a ride up with their leashed nordic skis!...

The upper loop is still skiing nicely. Bare patches are getting bigger. Watch for holes in a few spots. Firm and fast in the morning, then softer and more forgiving in the afternoon. Will they groom it on Wednesday? If they do, it will be...

Don’t stop yet!

Mar 29, 2025 | Eaglecrest

The Upper Loop is groomed for skate and classic. Expect firm and fast in the morning, and softer in the afternoon. Unmarked hazards exist, so use caution out there. Stadium loop, cabin loop, showboat loop, Blackbear hill and loop, and a shortened Hilda out and back...

Upper loop still good

Mar 25, 2025 | Eaglecrest, Eagle Beach

I’ve been teaching skate ski lessons on the upper loop for the past couple of days, and it is still good skiing. Classic track is still there and looks good. It gets a little mushy when many skiers have been around it, especially in the meadow/stadium area....
