Nordic Pulse

All trials groomed with tracks set.  Firm conditions exist, ice cookies and track marks in some corners.  Caution on Sochi, work to widen downhill in progress and there is a marker in the trail to identify a buried hazard for now.

Friday night groom of the skate lane. Trail is in great shape and the avalanche slide paths continue to smooth out!! Snow temp has stayed below freezing despite the 35F daytime temps. 

Lots of ice appearing, be cautious until you know where to slow down! It is particularly icy at the very top of the 5K loop, and the north end of Wolf Meadow. Use extra caution down the back side of the 5k loop; it's probably better to climb this section due to icy curves. Whe...

Good morning skiers. The stadium, biathlon, and the snowmaking loops have been refreshed. There is a race today so beware of double best line on green loop, little dark alley, lower roller coaster, and dark alley. Good luck to all of the racers involved and have a great day ev...

A few dirty icy spots under the trees close to the upper Huffman parking lot. Other than that nice results set with track.

Made three passes on everything and conditions are holding. Have a great day!

The Middle Schoolers have been skiing the 3k loop with very little traffic on the 5k. Refreshed the thin surface last night. Watch for buried logs just poking through the surface at the bottom of the first big downhill before the bridge. Rock skis and ski with caution. Have a ...

We've been scraping up a little snow and shoveling it on the dirt spots. Bridge, swamp, low road, and north pasture have about 90% coverage, you can generally sneak around the bad spots. The trails right by the parking lots are bad with crushed rock but once you're out a littl...

37F this morning at 7am. We didn't groom the trails to prevent damage to surface. It's all still good to ski on.

Another groom of the 5k and arlberg bike path Saturday night. Pray for snow.

Hauled a few loads of snow to cover ice on wolf hill pass 🐪 hump so should be skiable again. Very hard to find a non-frozen bank of clean ❄️ to haul from. 

Tsalteshi bike trails got a tune-up today. Should be good riding tomorrow 

Its clear and cold and conditions are perfect for skiing at 25 mile, Kelsall Road and Mosquito Lake.  Get out and enjoy the sunshine!

Scarified the Pioneer Loop and buffed up the Mat-Su and Mtn Streams loops. Some bare spots on Pioneer.

Equipment maintenance issues. No new grooming. 

Just a skiff of snow in town but it's enough!  Jones point and well field trail groomed and trackset Monday, fairgrounds groomed Tuesday for skating.  Stumps brush and rocks are lurking but it's very skiable.  Enjoy the sun!

Treestand, Swamp, and out to Bridge to Bridge 

Pulled steel drag around Slikok Trails yesterday trying to fill holes and help bond snow to ice. Should be good for walking and fat tire biking. Use extreme caution if you are skiing. Terrible frost heaves in some areas pushing up lots of dirt and creating big holes. It will t...

All trails groomed and are ready to ride. 

Sunset Loop  and  Midway  groomed this morning.

Scuffed up the trails on both sides. The field at ERHS and a few hills on Yosemite have exposed grass. It's edgeable and ok-ish skiing. Have a great day!

Mud and Gull Lakes off Maud Road extension, Palmer. Not enough ice to support a groomer, but also not enough snow to need it. 15 mm of snow on top of enough ice to support a skier made for very good skate skiing, even onto McRoberts and Jim creeks. Classic would be even better...

Groundhog Day 2024: rumors of a rolled marathon trail....

Waiting for snow!

The Mahaffey Loop got the trail edges pushed out today.  It will be very soft on the sides but about a meter more wide in sections.  Great time for someone to set a classic track on the edge.   Patrick may head out again tomorrow.  It's about as good as it ...
