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.

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.

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.

There was a dusting of new snow Monday afternoon. It’s fast for skating. Bring your scales, skins, or ice klister for grip in the tracks.

You should watch the TV show: Community, because the writing is brilliant, and because then you will understand the references. Without getting too far into it. It means: The track is good! Grooming ceased at…

With the help from Hank and two skiers the two trees were removed from the road. I went out and set a classic track and a skate lane. The snow was challenging to groom so…
