GNSC members and volunteers cleared a dam this week that already damaged the trail and bridge connections behind Our Lady of the Snows Church. Fortunately, the dam was released after a few hours of labor and the bridge held. Please keep an eye on our local trails and let us know if more damming is taking place!

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.    ...

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.
