Another 5 hours was spent working on the 5K loop today. Good news is that most of the trail is smooth. Other news-we cannot fix the cemented postholes, or the meadows until the next snow. Walk to the 5K trailhead from the parking lot and ski from there. The bikepath was also groomed and skiable. Thank you groomers!...

The temp has finally dipped below freezing for maybe 12 hrs-but the trails are in need of repair and rest from many postholes and soggy days. Please give the hard surface trails avid use during this time. Meanwhile, we are working on trying to solve the trail issues we can and hoping for cooler days and nights AND more snow! Thank you for supporting GNSC and respecting the meadows and trails. Stay tuned for our next updates...
Thank you all who donated in honor of Giving Tuesday!! It's not too late to support the groomers who have their work cut out for them by this last weather event. Thank you so much for your support! Renew your Membership online! ...
Girdwood, the forecast is calling for winds Weds and Weds night. Please stay off the 5K if the winds are blowing in the valley. We have had over a dozen trees down on or near the trail since the first storm and the snow load on the trees is heavy. For your safety, if you're going to ski, GNSC recommends to venture in the open meadows instead....
The connector between Moose Meadow and Upper Meadows has been track packed...
The power will be out tomorrow and so should you! Moose Meadow was freshly groomed this evening. Bumps are smoothed. Bundle up and enjoy before the weather tilts...
The 5K was groomed this afternoon and is skiable! Thanks to our tree-moving volunteers, machine work, and team effort to get the trail in shape. Moose Meadow was rolled and still a bit bumpy - we will set classic tracks as soon as we can! The trails connecting Moose Meadow to the Upper Meadows are still single track. ...
The 5K and Moose Meadow were rolled yesterday! Thank you volunteers. Stay safe out there...
Huge thank you to Jill and Ben for moving downed trees and narrow gauge grooming Lower Iditarod! Time to ski or bike it. A roll along the 5K is in store for Monday. Thank you groomers!...
