After about an 8 inch accumulation of snow and some cool temperatures overnight, the 5K Nordic Loop was rolled today.  Most folks venturing out on the trail are using touring skis - good idea, because there are still a lot of rocks.  As always, use caution on the downhills.  Dogs are ok until our next "groom" - probably Friday.  Have fun out there!...

All trails except 5K are melted out and no longer skiable. 5K is still covered and skiable but grooming is unlikely. Bare spots exist so ski with caution on all parts of the trail. At one time we had as much as 2 1/2 feet on our snow stakes and now we are melted down to @ 6-8 inches.. It was great while it lasted but it is going fast. Thanks for your support. Thanks to all our volunteer Groomers and supporting members....

Hard snow out there but all trails scuffed up and smoothed out a bit. Moose meadow has some shallow tracks which may hold up awhile. Melt freeze cycle makes ski conditions variable as you go from sun to shaded areas. Enjoy our warm sunshine while it lasts....

Yesterday Kyle got out to groom new snow on the trails. Last Night the full 5k  Loop was packed and a team is planning to be out this morning to give it all a once over for your skiing enjoyment. Today there will be a Kids event on the 1K portion of the 5K loop. If you are out there come see the kids and cheer them on....

Last evening, Brian asked CPG to come out and groom with their Cat.  The 5K Nordic Loop is total corduroy.  Very nice.  It's getting to be Spring skiing conditions - 40 degrees F with some sun exposure on south facing slopes.  Great skiing, but there are variable conditions due to the temps and exposure to sunlight.  The Moose Meadow has been groomed recently and should make for a fun outing - skiing, walking, snow shoeing, dog walking, or whatever non-motorized recreation you'd like to do (no horses please)....

Shane groomed the Moose Meadow, thru Sisson and Conway meadows and the Enchanted Forest.  He also did the Arlberg bike trail on Saturday.  We understand that the Upper Meadows and the 5K Nordic Loop will get a Pisten Bully groom.  We had a bunch of snow, so getting everything spruced up takes time....

All trails were groomed last night, including the Arlberg bike trail, Moose Meadow and Upper Meadows by Deb.  Shane spiffed up the 5K Nordic Loop earlier in the day and added classic tracks, which are holding up well.  Good luck to all Girdwoodians skiing in the Tour of Anchorage tomorrow....
