Report by steve cleary http://www.snowio.com/index.php Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:58:17 -0900 Looks like about 3" total have fallen at Hillside in the last 24 hours, about 1" of which after the last groom. The groomers are out so everything may be freshly groomed by the time you read this. Pretty snow blown conditions on the top of Spencer but minimal debris- I'm guessing the earlier storms have already broken off the weaker branches. Nice glide, but LF3 was not the wax for today. Apparently the conditions have changed since I last waxed... Report by Travis Rector http://www.snowio.com/index.php Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:48:55 -0900 The upper Chester Creek Trail was groomed this morning for skate and classical. The skate lane is being groomed very wide so it has plenty of time to firm up before the Tour of Anchorage. Nice!

Report by Scott http://www.snowio.com/index.php Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:19:12 -0900 We got about 6 inches new show in the last week. All trails are re-groomed for skate and classic skiing. FANTASTIC snow conditions + WARM temperatures = GREAT skiing! Step off the groomed trail and you are easily up to your waist in powder. Bring your snowshoes for an off-trail adventure! The Old Glenn Hwy (Mile 115) is in good shape for ski touring as well, it is almost 4 miles one-way, and was been groomed four foot wide. Backcountry skiers use caution as avalanch conditions are high. Day users please contribute to the trail grooming donation jar in the Lodge front entry. Report by Zack http://www.snowio.com/index.php Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:12:41 -0900 Powder Loops, Linguine, Swamp Trail and some trails off of Wendt Road trailhead groomed. All trails through the woods are free of debris with good corduroy. The Swamp Trail was drifting over this afternoon, but groomed again when the wind slackened in the evening. Good skiing out there for the moment. Report by Billie's Dad http://www.snowio.com/index.php Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:47:03 -0900
