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. ...

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....
