N. Douglas Pioneer Road

North Douglas Pioneer Road Information

The N. Douglas pioneer road is groomed when conditions permit. It is a fun hilly 3.5 mile (5.6 km) ski to the end of the road. Due to the rough aggregate on this new road, skiers should watch for sharp rocks (and remove them when possible). This trail is accessed just 1/4 mile shy of the end of the N. Douglas Highway. The parking area at the gated trailhead is NOT plowed. If you park on the highway, please park as far off to the side as possible. Juneau, AK 99801.

Cheers for the Pioneer Road!

The road will be plowed early next week so the logs can be hauled off. It’s been a fun first season. Thanks to JNSC Board member and groomer Wayne Carnes for making it happen!!!

Not groomed today to preserve the limited snow cover. The classic track is still okay. The skate lane is very firm – almost skittery in a few locations – and rocket fast.

Regroomed yesterday afternoon – only the center skate zone – it was good before I started and looked sweet when I left. It probably will not be regroomed over the next few days (it will…

Groomed this morning at 0800. Did not touch the classic track, but it looks good and is rock free. Fresh corduroy down the center!
