Crews got trees cleared from the STX this week but the trails need at least another week to dry out enough to reopen. Fingers cross for sun!

Hello All; It has been a great season. I just got done grooming for the evening, and tonight will be the last grooming session of the season. I dragged the skate deck once more on Valley, Cedar, Eds, Greenstone, and Mama Bear. I did do one pass on Birch, but many more bare spo...

Last day for the snowcats this spring. Green Loop and Dark Alley are skiable with minimal puddles and mud. Lower section of Roller Coaster: Well, you don't know unless you go. We went and it's not good. Lots of mud and ice. Enjoy the last day of skiing! 

Well...it is over. Last groom, for realz. If you have a notion to ski, do it tomorrow. The results were good tonight. There is corduroy🤣😂. Kept it wide so skaters don't get their tips hung up in the chum on the shoulders. For those of you who want to continue skiing for a fe...

Mat-Su Ski Club "scarified the skate lane on all wide ski trails. Bare spots getting a bit larger, but the cold nights are helping to maintain the snow pack. Skiers need to use caution on the Lazy and below the Susitna Short Cut as the bare spots stretch completely across the ...

Grooming has ended for the season. 

Saturday afternoon, April 11. What a difference a day makes.  And not always in the right direction. We have changed plans and will not be grooming tonight. What snow remains at Prospect is suitable only for "adventure skiing" which means yes you will sometimes have to ho...

Thanks to the USFS for lending us the keys to Blackmore Castle this winter!!! We would not have had continuous skiiing without these fun, higher elevation loops. The Hyalite road will close to vehicle traffic on March 31st (All vehicles must be out by 6pm), and reopen May 15th...

Already looking forward to winter 26/27.

We hope to see you on the winter trails in 26/27.

Thank you for a great season! While it was short and sweet (and wet and warm), the skiing was amazing and we were stoked to open as much terrain as we did for as long as we could.  As of 3/28, if you wanted to get out and ski fresh groomed trails, we were the "last trail ...

Operations on the Service/Hillside have concluded for the season. Wind, rain, warm temps have increased the base rot and access to trails and operations "facility" is compromised with mud and limited use is noted at the trailheads. From initial track-packing on November 7 to t...

Tried grooming this AM (Saturday 18 April), too soft. 

About 1/2" of snow makes it easier skiing over icy sections. Groomed 1k,5k,west part of Austrian Ave. 

Worked on high traffic trails. Put in a new track. Decent coverage not quite Isothermic. water problems on the meander.

Crews got trees cleared from the STX this week but the trails need at least another week to dry out enough to reopen. Fingers cross for sun!

The spring thaw is progressing. Wolverine and Goat are in decent shape for foot traffic and bikes. The usual spring soupy spots are soupy as usual — most of Porcupine, top of Bear, start of Lynx, last uphill of Coyote, start and end of Wolf, much of Moose. But...

Grooming suspended for the season, and what a season it was! See you next year!

Wednesday morning 4am update:  brief Ginzu groom. Several short gaps between residual snow sections confirm it's time to run and bike, in preparation for next winter! Well, Hoppy skiers, looks like that's going to do it! On behalf of our team, whether or ...

Tilled the bowl connector and the Red with cutoff.  We will continue to work on the trails as time and weather permits.  

Cleaned up skate lane Saturday morning. Snow conditions are too soft to set new classic tracks. 

Last day of the season will be Saturday April 4th! We received about 1/2" of sleet on Friday, which coated the bare spots and will make for some classic Spring skiing conditions on Saturday. Wet granular surfaces are expected. The weather has been too warm to groom all...

ASC Training Center is CLOSED for the season. Thank you for your support. Come on up this summer and see what capital projects we have been up to!  See you next Winter ASC Staff 

The spring thaw is progressing. The usual spring soupy spots are soupy as usual. It'll be at least another week before the singletrack is open. The main trails are open but wear white shoes and socks at your own risk.

Fresh groom on Mud Lake, Intermediate Lake Gull Lake and McRoberts Creek to Jim Creek. Fixed all ruts on trail from motorized vehicles. Good snow/hard pack on all trails. Get out and enjoy before it melts!

Scuffed the surface with the snowmachine. Conditions are a bit hard but skiable. Have fun!

Did three passes. Like before it's getting a bit hard, 

Big Bay Pathway is groomed! No wet spots on the trails. Enjoy it while you can!

All conditions updates for the spring, summer and fall will be posted on our webpage here.

Closing day and there is some sweet skiing out there! Access to First and Second Loop via Pond Bridge – there is a little shimmer here and there on the way down but easy to hold an edge with any ski.  Use caution your first time down and be aware of two way ...

Four passes no track. It's getting pretty hard packed but still doable. 

3/29 - 43deg at the trailhead. Groomed the same as yesterday. Things melting out up top, but haskill road is still grooming out nice. 

Trails groomed for skate and classic. Great spring conditions. Still using A skis.

We are now closed for cross-country skiing. Thank you for an incredible season! We are already planning for next year, and 26/27 season passes are on sale here....

Well, you guys asked, so we tried. If nobody screws it up too badly tonight, mt Mqt loop and main loop will be... useable. Certainly not midseason prime. Why can't we make it better, you ask? I'm so glad you did! Overheating machines, falling off the trail, spending d...

September 2 - a couple of days left to grab last year's gear at a little discount. New product should start arriving soon - so we're wicked excited. We'll let you know when the bulk of it is here.Trails are good to walk (free) and

Hello Mount Spokane State Park Nordic Community, As you may have guessed, barring significant additional snowfall, our Nordic grooming season has come to an end. The recent warm temperatures and rapidly melting snow has made continued grooming problematic. Hats off to o...

To our devoted Nordic Guests: we have made the difficult decision to close the Eldora Nordic Center for the season, effective today, March 22. While the storm on March 6 gave us a nice boost, subsequent high temperatures have rapi...
