Upper and Lower Nordic Trails groomed this morning for skate and class, about 4-5km on each. Lower trail conditions are improving, but you will encounter stretches where the groomer had to lift the till and track setter, also look out for rocks on the surface in areas.
You can always call the Nordic Conditions hotline:

I will be rolling the P Rd early in the morning. It should be good for skating or classic (no classic track set). There may be a few rocks so be careful. I will post an update when I’m done – around 0900.
All the rough spots are gone! The groomers were able to get around a large portion of the lower today and put in a nice skate and classic track. Should have a full trail soon as long as we keep getting snow.
The Upper Loop is a joy- for skate and classic; lightly falling snow, smooth classic track (VR40/blue), peaceful and challenging. GO GET IT! Thanks to the EC crew…
4” fresh snow. Groomed. Conditions are soft. 20 degrees and no wind.
Upper loop groomed to it’s usual perfection, although the wind is blowing spindrift into the track. Nothing you can do about that. They are making another effort on the lower loop and actually set a good classic track on parts of the hardened trail. The bad news is that where the snowpack is very low the groomed, rolled skate track disappears in an uneven rolling wave of cat tracks and the classic track also disappears, only to miraculously smooth out and reappear a short distance down the trail. They are trying! More snow will help. Keeping boots and dogs off of the trail will also help. Please spread the word – don’t go out on the lower loop unless you have skis on your feet and take your pet somewhere else. Anywhere else, actually – Juneau trails are wide open for all public use EXCEPT for the groomed Eaglecrest trails. It’s pretty simple. Nordic lessons are starting up so call the Eaglecrest Snowsports School for more info – 790-2000
Cold. New Corduroy coat for the skaters, diagonal will have to live with the tracks we have until more snow falls.
