Thanks to Nate for an early morning grooming on the lower loop. Beyond the call of duty. The loop has been freezing at night and melting and softening in the morning around 9 to 930. Lots of glide when it’s frozen and a bit slower when it’s softens up. Not perfect, but skatable. We are working hard to start JNSC grooming at Eaglecrest starting with the lower loop, hopefully, this week. Will keep you posted.
Excellent skate skiing after grooming.
Possible last day to Groom this season.
This is the 130th Day Of Nordic Skiing
in Juneau.
Excellent Skate Skiing Just after grooming.
Slows down as sun warms the snow.
Classic track good.
Grooming start 7:30 am .
Lower Loop groomed at 0830. Hard base and nicely tilled surface. As sun warmed it it started to soften up but still nice skiing. Inner lower loop not set. Classic groove looks good. A water feature accent in inner loop. Overall a good ski.
Walk down to first hill above the creek/bridge where snow machine is parked. Skate was really nice at 8AM and classic track works on one side. Plenty of snow from Creek back to end. It froze overnight back there so conditions very nice this morning.
Grooming from 7 – 8AM so come early if you want to catch it before it warms up too much. Sunny out now!
