Crust is hard this morning

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

From Dave Brann at 11 am  I’ve been out for 1 1/2 hrs getting trails a little softer.  Did three-four cases up to Rogers Loop trailhead, one km cutoff, thru the woods, the seis trail, back around Thru the woods.  I made a trip down the bay side of ...

Two passes with track. Loader guy plowed a short section of the trail by the access road, trails out in the woods are fine.

All done! No more grooming.Have a great Summer! Later!

Right on the cusp of work ability. Will probably freeze pretty hard starting to rain lightly as I left, two passes with track.

Did the chalet loop, north pasture, Sprint loop, bridge loop, appendix loop, main street low road mamas, corral loop, and swamp trail. Two passes no track.

Red signs are going up as trails begin to thaw in earnest. Be mindful of the soft conditions and direct your activities to the hard surface (paved) trails. Thanks!

Another 6-8" of winter! Groomed up very nicely. 23° at 7:30 am, blue wax atm. All wide trails groomed for classic and skate. 

Groomed hilltop, Powder, Linguine with hills and across north side of swamp. Very nice out with a bit of fresh snow. 

Final groom this AM!

Another 4-6" of snow made for a great groom. All trails groomed for classic and skate. Enjoy the figure 8 race track if you can find it! Experimenting with a fun new race format😉

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 ...

Two passes with track both sides

Moose meadow is getting thin. Once there's a breakthrough, grooming there will stop for the season. Likely to be soon. 5K  grooming will continue as temps allow. Both 5K and Moose meadow groomed today. Both turned out nicely for late April. 

Trails are in great shape. 

Trees are removed. Still fat tire ready 

All trails groomed 

Trees removed. No more grooming this year. Frost holes are making riding difficult 

Things are warming up in town, but some grooming is happening at the fair and busters ponds this evening in hopes of making skiing last as long through the warmup as possible

Waiting for snow!  Patchy snow on chilkat state park road, time to head upriver

25 mile trails groomed this afternoon by State Parks. 

Waiting for snow!  During the warmup Chilkoot melted down to pavement in too many spots to be patched up.  Great fatbiking and walking at the moment.
