Tour of Anchorage Trail Yesterday 4PM by Sam

Skate skied upper Chester and Campbell trails to the Tour trail from Goose Lake to the bridge at the parking lot. Chester was pretty good except for the APD driveway, but the Tour trail was superb. Decent classic track over entire distance. Tour trail should be good tomorrow but colder temps.

Tony Knowles Coastal Trail Yesterday 3PM by GregV

Rode from the sewer plant towards the Kincaid hill. Typical multiuse conditions: decent classic tracks, packed enough for skate skiers, and firm enough down the center for medium speed fat biking.

Archangel Road Thursday 12AM by Zack Steer

Groomed new skate and classic lanes to the turn around just shy of the bridge. 8-10" new snow and still falling hard when I left. Hatcher Road was plowed and relatively ice-free, but the AA parking pullout was still unplowed and starting to get deep. Enjoy powder skiing from the bridge to the outhouse, will try and pack/groom that section next time. Support grooming by the Mat-Su Ski Club

Kincaid: Happy snow day! The lighted trails, Elliot’s, World Cup and the Roadside Multi-use were freshly groomed with new track set, but the remaining trails have been left with the new snow for your winter skiing adventure! There is a Middle School race event happening at 6 pm. Please be respectful of the start and finish lanes in the Stadium! Also please don’t trip or skate over the double best line set on the Blue loop, Purple loop, part of the Chalet loop, and the end/return of The Mize!

Hillside: Good morning everyone! We received 1 to 2 inches of fresh snow overnight, which we worked into the existing base. All lighted loops are groomed (via snowcat(s) along with the wide trails, Trailside/Sahalee connectors, and even laid some “fun” track in Service Stadium. Honestly… it’s hard to beat conditions like these. Skiing should be excellent…just like you. Be well, get out there, and enjoy the day. PS: trails are SKI only in winter!

Eagle River HS/Yosemite Dr: 4 passes with track. Light fluffy snow. After a little set it should be good skiing! Have fun out there!

Coyote Trails at MLMS: Did three passes with track, still a bit soft with the new snow, but it sure looks nice! With a little bit of set it’ll be good skiing. Give it a try!

Campbell Creek Trail Tuesday 7PM by Barbara Dunham

As of Tuesday night lower Campbell (Dowling to Taku) was not freshly groomed and not great for skating unless you're a real hero. (Classic was fine.) Agree with the earlier post that the P+R groom of this section does not tend to match their grooming reports. But grooming does generally seem to be happening more often this season compared to last season.

Government Peak Recreation Area Tuesday 2PM by Ed Strabel

Mat-Su Ski Club groomed the Flat Top Loop (first time, a bit bumpy) and the Mtn Streams loop. Two detour options on dodging the overflow on Mtn Streams. Support grooming by the Mat-Su Ski Club

Campbell Creek Trail Tuesday 8AM by Sam

Skate skied upper Chester and upper Campbell trails Mon afternoon. New groom by P&R was very nice with firm base and fine grained snow on top. Campbell from ball field to Lake Otis was not as good maybe due to different uses. Campbell trail west of Lake Otis is maintained by the south P&R that does Coastal Trail and I have not seen any posts that they have groomed that trail. Chester trail had a few sections where a snow machine drove on the trail not pulling a sled and cut off to pack walking trails and left a cobbly surface.

Hillside Saturday Feb 7 by Mark Miner

Just want to give a quick shout out to NSAA and the groomers for spending time grooming the multi-use trails including the trail adjacent to the BLM airstrip. Maybe my memory is faulty but it seems like these trails are getting more attention then in years past. Either way the trails provide a nice alternative to the ski only trails for bringing my trusty hound!
Thank you!

Hillside Saturday Feb 7 by Thomas Pease

All the classic trails skied well. Thanks, groomers. Exhilarating hills with plenty of edge on the corners. Three stubborn moose on Spencer, but not aggressive. Warning: If accessing trails from Service High parking lot, beware of overhanging ice on the east (mountain) side of ASD’s little gym. The area out away from the building where people normally walk has been plowed and is now icy, forcing skiers to walk right up against the building. The cantilevered ice 30’ above is a scary accident waiting to happen. Consider walking around the west side of the little gym to access trail, even though you have to walk by the rent-a-cans!

Middle Fork Loop Trail Saturday Feb 7 by Determined Biker

I would not recommend anyone try to bike the complete MF Loop. I started at Prospect and followed the SF Rim, which was firm if a bit bumpy. Then continued uphill under the powerline which was mostly firm and even more bumpy (but doable). Between leaving the powerline at GA and the Williwaw Lakes junction was not fun and maybe 1/2 of it was bikeable, sort of. Coming down along SF Campbell was firm and bumpy as heck, but at least it was downhill. The local wolf pack was doing its choral practice above the Williwaw jct - they really like that south-facing slope below Rusty Pt. There were close enough to make me very nervous for my dog's safety. Bring pepper spray?

Kincaid: It’s going to be a fun and exciting day at Kincaid. The Ski 4 Kids event is happening this afternoon! Please be mindful of the racecourse using the Mize and Chalet Loop as well as the obstacle course features in the Stadium! The rest of the park was groomed with classic track set for your skiing adventure. Expect trail conditions to be variable and enjoy!

Hillside: All ski only trails have been refreshed. The TOA/multiuse trail was cleaned up as well.  Enjoy!

Beach Lake Trails: Worked most of the high traffic trails on the Chalet side. Two passes with new track. Have a good one!

Bartlett HS: Put down a classic race using the stadium and the first 3 1/2 km of trail. ASD-HS Eastside Relay kicks off at 11am. If you want to skate, consider a different venue.  And if your dog needs to go potty, definitely consider a different venue. Thanks!!
