Nordic Pulse

25 mile trails got a couple inches of snow by Monday morning 1/20 and were regroomed this afternoon.  Good coverage closer to the trailhead and a bit brushier as you get towards the confluence.  Due to low coverage the groomers haven't made it around the whole outer ...

After our last snowfall our volunteers have been out in force and their work has paid off!  The trails are in great condition for both skate skiing and classic, with tracks set on multiple trails. 

33F at 11:15am. All groomed.

Too warm and wet for grooming, light rain all night with small puddles in stadium. Trails are soft and mushy. 

Grooming all trails and set tracks on some trails. Rolled out fields hoping snow will bond with ice. Nice to have snow to work with. With day light I see that the track do have icy spots and some of the tracks are really wiggle because the track setter slides on the...

Mine groomed with tracks set (Main, bld loop, Bold, Outhouse, including Sochi-bridge groomed. Have fun, Enjoy the trails 

Trail groomed for skate and classic to the upper outhouse Friday night. Fresh dusting past the bridge made for nice overall conditions. Support grooming by the Mat-Su Ski Club

We recommend staying off the trails for the time being. This rain is turning what's left of our base to ice and we won't be able to groom until things cool down. If you do venture out, you might want to leave the skis at home and opt for microspikes. 

All trails groomed and are ready to ride. 

All  bike trails groomed and are ready to ride. 

Mtn Streamsloop groomed Thursday AM.  Lots of twigs.

Sunset Loop  and  Midway  groomed this morning.

Groomed the Pooch Loops from Sun Valley.  Good shape for biking and walking.

Bill took the snowcat out this morning to see if anything could be done. After making one pass, he realized he was going to turn up too much dirt. The base is roughly two inches thick and less in some areas where the trail isn't flat. To achieve an edgeable surface, he needed ...

Bill cleared the trees and larger debris off the trails but there are still plenty of twigs and sticks. If you're looking for a fun mission that would have great impact, take a rake and work some of that stuff way off the trails before the next weather system moves in. If it's...

Scratched up the trails and the Stadium...a little hard but was able to grind it up a bit so it's edgeable. Decent skiing. Enjoy! 

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!

Downed trees have been removed from most wide trails. Please help to clear remaining small debris by tossing it off the trail!

 Lazy/Knik trails are closed to Mat-Su Ski Club grooming until further notice.

Cleaned up the 5k, should skate well. Tracks were left alone, still look ok. 

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

Waiting for more snow!

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 ...
