Mendenhall Lake
Lake has side by side classic tracks on a 5k loop. Groomed skate track as well. Should be outstanding going into the weekend.
Campground is great for skate skiing but thin for a classic track.
Eagle Beach Campground Gromed 1/25/18
Groomed campground this morning. Good in open areas, thin and rough in places under the canopy. Too thin to set the classic track, but should be good classic skiing on the groomed trail. Skaters should stick to the open road! I rolled out the trail along the meadow towards Lynn Canal, big pans of river ice makes it lumpy out there but it is open and sunny.
Montana Creek groomed for skate and classic
Good conditions
M. Lake: Skiing is good, ice skating is better
Ignore the abandoned snow machine, the skiing – skate and diagonal – is good, but the ice skating is even better! Temp.s are cold! Skied and skated this morning.

Montana is not groomed
Walk at least past groomers. The 4” of fluff is not bonded so you can hit bottom. There is a skier track and snow machine track. It’s gorgeous skiing just dont bring your good skis.

The Mendenhall Lake is lovely for classic, ice skating (ask John Neary!) and enjoying the sun. Blue wax . No need for rock skis but grab them for the campground- it was rolled by a master! with the 1-2″ snowfall; plenty of rocks and will clean up with 2-4″ more. And it’s white. Thanks.
