Nordic Pulse

All groomed up and ready for your Tuesday ski! That wind storm left lots of drifts that we have knocked down. 22F and snowing lightly at 21:45. Even with some fresh snow on top of the groom it should be great skiing.

Lots of wind and rain last night.  Probably no grooming for a day or so...if possible, would be best to give the trails a break until it cools down on Tuesday  

At 2:30pm, 32F. It seems we survived the rain storm. Snow is forecast tonight through Wednesday. Base is thin and there is a bunch of wind blown debris on the trails. If we do get a little more snow, we'll put classic track in all the normal places.

Only able to do a few small loops of the Powder Loop system. Could not get across swamp or do trails with big hills and ruts due to ice and no traction. 

All trails except Fox and soccer field got rolled out today. Both High schools, Skyview Middle, and Youth skiers were out skiing on the new snow. Keep fingers crossed that the weekend precipitation is snow and not rain. Only 3 trees down. Thanks to Bill H...

Temperatures hanging around 43, periodic rain, so no new grooming. 

The trail was groomed to the upper outhouse for skate and classic. 5-6 inches of new snow made for lots of spillage and soft conditions. Road and parking lot not plowed but in good shape. Support groo...

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. 

Sunset Loop  and  Midway  groomed this morning.

Walked the trails yesterday and removed some downed trees. The trails are too soft to support any machinery and need a consistent freeze before we can even think about the possibility of resurrecting what's left. They've gone clear in some spots with standing water yet still w...

Waiting for more snow!

Scratched up the trails and the stadium. Have a great day!

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!

With current conditions, we advise staying off the GPRA trails to prevent damage and ensure they’re in top shape once grooming resumes. In the meantime, consider exploring higher elevation trails that are in better condition for skiing. Thank you for helping us protect o...

With this latest skiff of snow, an attempt at grooming was made on gasline. Unfortunately, there is not quite enough snow and it is slightly too warm for it to freeze onto the ice beneath. Hoping for more snow and favorable conditions in the near future.

 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 ...
