Lower loop classic track set by EC with snowmachine late this afternoon. Should set up for nice classic skiing tomorrow. Skate remains ungroomed since compaction with snowcat, and looks to be marginal, but possible. Probably won’t see another snowcat lap until new snowfall provides protection for the equipment. Some skied corduroy, some exposed organics and plenty of undulating trail.
The Eaglecrest website is wrong. The Upper Loop is not packed.
Should be grooming by 9:15 or so
The lower loop has good coverage all around and is very skiable. Even without a classic track it is solid ski touring for just about any level. Skate looks good too. I could not find any real hazards, just a few small twigs here and there.
Montana Creek groomed for skate
and classic skiing . The meadow is
groomed Conditions are good.
Campground and Lake are groomed by 10:00 AM
cold, clean and soft. The campground and the lake got the business before 9am. Around 2pm the new stretch was rolled and combed. We got nearly 100$ in the tip jar. -This is beer and cookie money for groomers, so JNSKI Board hands off.
