It's the big event of the year! Solstice is almost here. However you can celebrate outside is great. Join us before, on, or after Solstice skiing from the 5K kiosk along the Nordic Loop! The 2K will be lit with lights on Thurs, Dec 21st from 6-8pm. We need volunteers if you're able: info@skigirdwood.org As parking is extremely limited, come ski from wherever you can in Girdwood to join the ski on the shortest day of the year! Bring your own thermos or mug if you'd like some hot cocoa so we can have a zero waste event....
Tracks were set on the 5K this morning! Go ski and wear some glasses or goggles-the wind is blowing puffs of snow off the big trees out there. The skiing is great. AND Moose Meadow returns! The loop was groomed today: Skiing is best and a bit soft for multi-use. Let's keep it clean i.e. Pick up the poop!...

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...

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...
