We will be looking at Moose Meadow to see if it is ready for grooming. All other trails are hard but have been scratched up for skiing tomorrow. Several community members have made great effort to pick up dog waste on our trails. We are aware of 25 pounds or so ...
Surface was groomed up this afternoon on both 5K and upper valley loop. No grooming on connecter trail to church. We are still staying out of the Moose Meadow due to thin ice and water hazards. Hope for colder temps and snow. pz...

The hard surface on the 5K Nordic Loop was scuffed up this morning. Skiing should be pretty good. The downhills will be very fast - use caution. The Upper Meadows were groomed, as well as the connector trail from the Upper Meadows through Enchanted Forest and Conway Meadow to the Moose Meadow. Lots of overflow in the Moose Meadow prevented grooming there. Do your best snow dance - we need some new snow....
Arlberg Multi- use path and 5 K were groomed last night. Temps cooled last night so expect FAST conditions. Tracks are still in but are glazed. Edges of 5 K groom may be soft. Moose Meadow and Upper Meadow Loop will be groomed as soon as water subsides with more stable temps. pz ...
Went out today and groomed Arlberg multi use path and 1 K loop. All other trails will need to drain water awhile before we can get our groomers back out there. Warm temps and 2 " of water in the last 2 days means we need cold, or no more rain so our trails can drain and harden . Hope for the best! pz...
Yesterday's light rain turned heavy overnight to the tune of @ 1/2 inch of rain in the valley by 8 AM today. Groomers will probably stay off most trails until this thaw/rain cycle is over. Stay in touch....

Everything got touched up again today for tomorrow. Thanks to CPG for grooming the upper meadow Loop, We have started the process of smoothing it all out to a nice skiing surface.

Deb drove into the evening working Moose Meadow, Connector to Arlberg and the 5 K loop. She also worked over the Multi use path along Arlberg. A little cold this AM, but hoping for a warm-up later in the day. pz...
Cold temps and fog have kept trails hard even after a groom. Jim went out this afternoon and softened up the 5 K with the drag. Track are still in there and FAST ! Then he went over to Moose Meadow where he handed off the groomer to Deb who finished up the groom. Trails should be in pretty good ski shape all through the park. pz...
Thanks to CPG for smoothing out a practice area for Girdwood XC team! Connector trail between Arlberg Parking Area and Moose Meadow a little rough in spots. Not quite enough snow to work with. All scratched up and enjoyable skiing for the most part. Upper Meadow was not groomed today. pz...
All groomable trails in Girdwood Valley were groomed today, including the Upper Meadows, Moose Meadow, 5K Nordic Loop and connector trails. Classic track was set on the 5K Nordic Loop. With the warm temperatures, the surface snow had a high moisture content. That means if it goes below freezing tonight, the trails will be a bit icy in the morning. After lunch Tuesday sounds like a great time to get out for a ski. Enjoy winter....
Jeff went out this afternoon in zero - ish temps and groomed everything. Just in time for the Girdwood Grizzly Ski team's daily training. Their team has 15 athletes this year! We still have a few rough spots out there but all trails are looking great and skiing well. Expect a warm- up over the next few days. Enjoy winter!...
