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...

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....
