Jim groomed the 5K Loop and Arlberg Bike Path this morning. Go see the sun and ski this week! ...
1/26 Report: Luke, Tim, and Peter cleared the downed trees and groomed the 5K. It’s windy and tree bombs are coming down, so not a good time to ski…but we are switching to SKI ONLY tomorrow since we will groom again and prep for the dropping temps. All foot traffic, including dogs, please use other trails. Thank you so much. #girdwoodnordic #groomersrock ...
Crews today cleared 5 trees which had fallen over the last week during two high wind periods. There is still debris to rake off trail if you feel like chipping in. The 5K just needs about a foot of snow and we'll be grooming again. Currently snow has covered most of the trail BUT skiing STILL IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Thin spots in downhills and several water crossings, some rocks, debris and who knows what all, means we really need more snow for anyone to consider skiing the 5 K. Great walking surface but some ice here and there. pz...
Similar photo - the trail looks the same as days ago following 2" snowfall overnight Friday and pouring rain, significant wind within 12hrs. (Except the surface has more grab) Proceed with caution and cleats....
The 5K loop is very icy and 2 trees are down at the 1K area. While there is a pause in our grooming efforts, foot traffic and bicycles are allowed. PLEASE USE CAUTION (and cleats)....
After a week of cool and clear, Girdwood had a nice blanket of snow last night. The multi-use valley trails have been great for walking and biking. Unfortunately, NOAA is calling for a repeat of wet we experienced a couple weeks back. Read about the AK weather recap from 24 and what is to come...
The blanket of snow this week and cooler temps are making the season feel wintry again! If you haven't renewed your membership yet, or made a 2024 donation, you can here online! Thank you for your support of Girdwood Nordic. We are rrrready to groom when snowfall returns. Meanwhile, the bike path, Iditarod trails, lower valley trails are in good shape for strolling, running, and riding. Happy New Year!...
It's wet in Girdwood and we thank everyone for celebrating a rainy icy Solstice with us on Dec 21! Thank you to all our volunteers, participants, and The Bake Shop for bringing the hot cocoa, hot soup, and cheer! The lights were colorful and bright - our leadership inspiration was evident! Making the most of the warm temperatures at the 5K #girdwoodnordic #bethelight #slipslidingaway ...
Put on ice cleats, and join us for a Solstice Walk in the Woods!! TONIGHT from 6-8pm. Wear rain gear and ice grippers. Food and drinks by the Bake Shop. Music, lights, and a chance to meet Olympian Kristen Faulkner! See you there!...
It snowed in Girdwood! A couple inches fell last evening in the valley. However, the base of the access to the 5k and the Nordic loop is packed, glazed ice. Please use extreme caution if attempting the trail and continue to do snow dances! We are wishing for more white as well....
This is what the trail looks like. Beware of the surface lens....
The 5K Loop is not skiable at the moment. Skatable maybe…but not skiable. Please do ALL the snow dances! ...

Tim dragged the 5K Loop today to smooth out the new snow. Enjoy & have a great weekend!...
It’s snowing!! Jim scraped the 5K. It came out crusty but skiable. Please mind winter use of the 5K: Ski ONLY and NO DOGS....
And it's Nov 1st! Luke groomed the 5K Loop and Arlberg sidewalk. Go have yourself a little cross-country shakedown!! The meadows need another foot of snow before we can groom…so touring skis or snowshoes only - meadows are not frozen. SEE YOU TOMORROW at the Sports Swap.
