Winter Grooming has begun! Thanks to Eric from Alyeska Resort for coming out and using their tracked  side by side wheeler to pull the club's roller around the entire 5 K loop! Conditions are about 2" of packed powder. We now are switching back to our winter ski only status for the trail. Bring your rock skis and leave your dog at home please. We recommend classic skis at this point to help consolidate our thin snowpack. We still need much more snow but this is a wonderful start. pz  ...

Once grooming starts 5K will go back to ski only. For now enjoy it however you choose! There is less than 3 " on the trail now. Perhaps the one skier yesterday might agree its still too early to ski the 5 K. We hope to see some Christmas snows which will put us back into Groom mode. Stay tuned and please obey signs once they go up. Merry Christmas and a snow filled New Year.  pz...

Due to the lack of snow connecting trails in the valley, the 2019 Alyeska Skimeister scheduled April 20th will be cancelled.  There is great crust skiing up north and elevation.  Enjoy the last days of skiing, and we will see you next year!  Happy Spring!!...

John groomed the 5K Nordic Loop this afternoon.  There is still quite a bit of snow on the trail, but with these temperatures it won't last long.  Get out and enjoy a fun Spring ski.  If it freezes over night, the trail will be icy in the morning.  Enjoy Spring!...

The 5K Nordic Loop is holding up well despite all of the rain.  With all of the grooming this winter - starting on October 30th, the snow on the trail has been well compacted.  We should be skiing the trail into April.  The Upper Meadows are quite skiable, but we haven't groomed up there in a few days.  The Moose Meadow is very wet and we don't anticipate grooming to resume there until we get a good freeze....

Gallup went out on 5K and Upper Meadow loop and spruced it up. Also John took a single loop around Moose Meadow but had to pull off when runoff water was encountered. As soon as water drains or freezes we can safely groom Moose Meadow. Stay tuned and be safe out there. pz...

After last night’s wind event, we received help from Alyeska Resort on the 5K Loop. It was groomed this morning and John G set some classic tracks. Thanks to both. All the meadows are too unstable to groom (running water) so enjoy your adventure, and we will attempt to groom when the temperatures drop....
