Tonight: John groomed everything. Stay tuned for tomorrow with some clearing skies overnight and a dip in temperature. This am: Good snowy Easter morning! One may not be able to tell, since it's a snowglobe out there, but Luke groomed the 5k, Upper Meadows, and Moose Meadow last night. Dress for the weather and respect the trails and their users. Thank you groomers and Happy Sunday. It's not too late to become a Member of GNSC!...

It's a beautiful and quiet Tuesday out there. Jeff groomed the trails in Girdwood valley and set tracks. The 5K is completed to set up overnight as well as the meadows.

Spring is springing but the snow keeps coming! Yesterday added a few inches of snow to the trails so Riley and John groomed all of the main Girdwood Nordic and Multi-Use trails this morning, with classic tracks set. With these longer, sunnier days, the conditions are softening up so don’t be surprised to see grooming equipment out again a couple more times this weekend.    ...

March and daylight galore! The sunset waits until well after our 6pm Nordic ski. If you haven't yet, come ski with commUNITY! Meet at Moose Meadow, 6pm Tues. Mar 23rd. Ski loops, to the meadows or CAT track and back. All a ski-length (or two) away from community members and friends! Our Lady of the Snows Chapel is another great place to park. Wintry fresh air will make any evening ski along our local trails fulfilling - with or without a crew. Dress warm and wear a face covering. We'll see your eyes and skis there! If you have an obligation these Tuesday nights, come at a time that works for you instead or carry the meeting along as you cruise trails with a much sweeter perspective....

Luke and John groomed all trails this evening, with classic tracks set throughout the 5k, Upper Meadows and Moose Meadows trails. Things should set up nicely overnight for some beautiful Nordic skiing in Girdwood on Sunday! Ben will groom the Lower Iditarod and Moose Meadows “Viewscape” trails on Sunday morning with the Snow Dog narrow gauge groomer. Those trails are great for a walk or fat tire bike ride. Winter will soon become Breakup so get out and make the most of our winter trails while the gettin’ is good these days!...

Kyle and Jim groomed a very cold surface this morning.  As a result, the groomed surfaces are pretty fuzzy - which can make for a fun skating surface.  New classic tracks were set on most of the trails, except for the Arlberg bike path.  It's kind of cool out there, so when you go for a ski on the awesome trails, make sure to wear your woolies....

This afternoon Jeff began packing today's heavy snow, completing laps on the 5k. Our Snowdog was out on the Viewscape loop this evening. We'll see if we can find the trails tomorrow. Enjoy the snow and thank you groomers from Jr Nordic! Also, if your dog runs the multi-use trails, please grab a Mutt Mitt bag and pick up after your pup so we can all cruise the trails....

Eben touched up all of the Nordic skiing trails with a groom this evening. The 5k and Moose Meadows have classic tracks set and all trails have fresh corduroy laid down. Please pick up after your dogs. Trash cans and poop bags are located at most trailheads. Your fellow trail users and volunteer groomers especially appreciate this! Enjoy your Sunday activities out on Girdwood’s beautiful winter trails!...
