Kincaid ski trails are mostly dry and great for running and biking, but it's time to start watching for moose cows with newborn calves. We saw our first one of the season today a stone's throw from the bench at "Top of the Form" on Margaux's Loop tonight. Brand new calf that could barely stand, with momma close by.

FYI for any of my rollerski brethren eager to reintroduce their elbow tendons to the joys of pavement: The Coastal Trail (Pt. Woronzof parking lot to Kincaid chalet) and Point Woronzof Road/West End Road (all the way to the end at the Clitheroe Center) have been swept for the season and are as smooth as you will ever find them.

Took a quick walk on some of the singletracks on the southside of Kincaid (sandbox, C$ Express, and Lee's train). Still lots of muddy, snow/icy spots. Looks like some folks have already started riding/rutting these trails. Saw one rider on C$ Express.

Kincaid bike trail was basically all clear except a couple small spots of ice/snow. The coastal trail had a lot more snow and icy spots but they were easy to roll over even with a road bike. It was early in the day so it may be better or worse once itâs warmed up a bit. It was no problem really, just slowed ya down a bit. Riding again tomorrow.

General report for all but specifically want to address trail sharing issue at Kincaid Bluff. For decades bikers like myself have been riding the bluff trail in the early season because it gets dry first and is a spectacular trail. I have been hiking/running and biking that trail since I was about 8. I'm 50 now. I have ridden the trail twice this season, most recently last night. It did not disappoint. However, both times I rode the trail I encountered hikers that informed me that I was not allowed to ride the trail and that bikers ruin the trail. I may have lost my cool some and if you are that hiker I sincerely apologize. To be clear. Unless otherwise stated our trails are multi-use. We SHARE. We all enjoy the great trails in Anchorage. I am an avid nordic skiier and have encountered hikers on the ski trails, trails that are user funded and truly off-limits to hikers. I am a fat-biker and have encountered trails truly ruined by hikers. Last night was the first time I've had a negative interaction with a hiker over trail use. I hope it is the last. I challenge the notion that bikers ruin the bluff trail (the recent earthquake is a different matter). Sharing is good.

Started to skate ski Mize and turned back. Ice coats everything, and only sections are scraped enough to actually get any bite with the edge of the ski.We skied laps in the stadium which has a decent enough loop of scraped snow/ice. Figured it would soften up and some more options might open up in the afternoon. This was our last ski of the year, beautiful day to be outside!

Jodphur & Margaux's were really good between 9:30 am and 10:30 am today Tuesday 03/26. A few small gray ice spots here and there, not affecting overall enjoyment. Great granular surface with just enough give to make it fantastic skiing today, snow was surprisingly clean and fast and I would give it an 8 out 10. Thanks NSAA! Given the rough weather we've had it was mind blowingly good, no set track. Get it while you can and donate.

Skijored Raspberry multiuse. Surprisingly ok for skating, very soft but no icy spots and signs of somewhat recent groom. The low spot across from the lower chalet lot and the snow under the bridge may be melted out by the end of the weekend.

Surprisingly fun! Fast, fun downhills. Some puddles on the sides and dirty patches that are all easy to avoid. Jodphur, Icebox, 2.5 Lekisch, and Margaux.

Kincaid singletrack is a mix of hardpacked snow and lots of icy patches. Studded tires recommended!

Trails were significantly improved from Sunday. Jodpur and Icebox were excellent for skating, Lekisch was perfect up to the 7.5 split, after which things got pretty soft, and very soft at the lowest elevation. One water hole near the tree-tower above the soccer field. Mize's Folly and Moose Hill still in good shape, but Jodpur Loop is king.

Ice ice baby! Margaux is ice, Mize is ice, Sisson is ice. Watch for debris on the multi-use path (which is also ice).

Wonderful spring skiing! Groomed trails were medium speed and softish, Icebox/Lekisch were hard and fast, Sisson was a lovely in-between. Three major slush holes on the Mize are fine but will be a problem in the coming week.

Tour of Anchorage Alert - This year's Tour of Anchorage race has a fat bike division that will be utilizing the same course as the ski race, just later in the day. This will mean that there will be a large number of bikers racing on the Sisson and Mize Loops Sunday afternoon and evening. If you are not participating in the Tour of Anchorage and are looking to ski later in the day, please be aware that the bike races will start at 2:00pm (50k ) and 3:00pm (40k). We expect racers to get to the Sisson Loop as early as 3:45pm and continue through probbaly 7:00pm, give or take. The trails will remain open to the public during the race; however, it may be best to avoid that period of time if possible to reduce potential conflicts. NSAA is planning to re-groom the trails Sunday night to fix up any damage from the ski and bike races.

I also saw the Sisson Loop coyote. It was just off the trail at the bottom of a downhill straightaway. I had some speed from the hill so wasnât around long enough to gauge its behavior.

Beautiful day at Kincaid. Eric E. and I saw a coyote on the Sisson. It had approached Eric before I skied up. Quite bold; didn't back away.Lots of skiers skate over the classic tracks - Do these skiers have poor technique or are they just inconsiderate?
