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.

Too thin to ski, too thick to drink. The snow just gets thinner as you move out the road, plus the CanAm threw a track this morning, recovery efforts are proceeding.

Made 4 passes with the roller from 1600-1830. Good for first attempt and low snow. Will hit it again tomorrow. Be careful of rocks especially at the pallet bridge.

Not groomed but good skiing

The coverage is great. Bring your classic or touring gear. There are ski tracks and foot paths through the fluff. The base under foot is firm.

Great still for classic & skate

Good coverage. Remove skis at two points. Firmer/icy in a few places especially in the beginning but great skiing still. No wax classic for the dirty snow.

The road was groomed Sunday morning. I was unable to do the classic track as it was frozen. The skate lane turned out decent. Grooming may be over for the season but it is still…

Finished resetting at 2300. It should be decent skiing Thursday. The southern 3km turned out the best. There are two sections in the middle that have some rocks – those areas do not have a…

Groomed at 1pm today. Still good. Careful on two 75’ sections that have exposed gravel. Was starting to get a little blue sky. Rain soaked snow but still fast.

Pioneer will not be groomed today. It is skiable with some very thin sections. Watch out for small rocks. Hopefully we’ll get the snow in the forecast

Finished grooming at 9pm last night. Compacted and classic track set. Hopefully that will help it ride out this warm up. Should be fun. If a bit soft.
