Sat., 1/31/26, Round Meadow Grooming  Report ~27°F@9am & light overcast/clearing & skiff of new, ~40°F@4:30pm, thin overcast.

Refubished center skate lane with drag on Round Meadow Loop-N, Fox Run-N, Gerrys Way, Round Meadow Loop-S from meadow proper to Lookout-N intersection, & Chechako. Surface is mostly v. good for skating & touring. Still old track.

ONLY 2 passes in center Lookout-N, & Fox Run-S to flatten for next snow. These trails are still uneven due to deer/trail troughs & old skidder ruts. NOT recommended except for hardcoe tourers. Very thin sections, so ski w/care!

Grooming generally in pm for Skate & Classic skiing. If you see a fallen branch, flick it off trail to help the groomers. Thanks!

Bikers: Please consider skiers, stay to firm trails & ride mid-trail, yielding as needed. Run low pressure ~5lbs to minimize tracks.  If making a trough, please turn back.

Walkers: Thanks for staying close to edges respecting center skating space for skiers. Makes it easier to groom! If post-holing, please turn back.

Thanks to all picking up after pets. Use community trail shovels if needed.  NOTE on poop: if you can't use a bag & don't know how to use a skitail to carve & launch deposits into the woods, just leave it to freeze. Don't try to use a stick which spreads it all over; that is worse than leaving it as an intact unit that can be shoveled later. Thanks!

Will continue clearing trees as needed. Ski with care on hills!
