Mother Nature is making trail beautification difficult, but tomorrow morning the groomers will try to calm the surface of the 5k again. Stay tuned. Tonight the PVT - around Moose Meadow was narrow gauge groomed! With hopes of low temperatures, this will set up nice for skiing, etc. Mind your steps walkers and stick to paths if the trails aren't firm enough. Deep bootprints aren't going anywhere.. Have a safe NYE Girdwood!...

Please use skis to travel on the meadows, or snowshoes. And pick up your dog's poop. Perimeter Viewscape Trail around Moose Meadow is a great ski! This evening: Groomers went and combed around the 5k! The trail is in decent shape. Hope tonight's cooler temps will firm up the surface, as it was very soft today....

Challenging road conditions exist today due to freezing rain, followed by rain. Give road crews time to work and stay off the 5k until the numerous snow bombs have been addressed. It's a great day for indoor training and gratitude! Classic and fish scale skiing on Moose Meadow is doable, just sinking with narrow skis. Walkers, i.e. deep footprints, please stay off the trails and veer toward plowed paths. Thank you everyone for your support. Check out this ski lecture through US XC ski team...

Groomers were out all Friday packing and rolling the meadows to open up all the trails. Overnight gave time to set up! The 5k is groomed with tracks set. Huge thanks to our volunteers! Shoveling today at 10am behind Our Lady of the Snows to fill in the spaces between Horror Hill and 4-corners to Enchanted Forest. Join? Wear skis or snow shoes, bring a shovel and maybe clippers. You'll generate some heat to stay warm...

Our volunteers were out today on all the trails, checking the meadows and connectors and smoothing out the 5K. The best groom is the 5K.. surprise! Terrain is uneven in the meadows and we are another storm away from snow setting up along connectors and meadows for a groom. Thank you everyone!...
