Kincaid Park: This is it! The SML has been groomed for the last time this season. There is pavement showing at the ends of tunnels and dirt and water have made it a challenge to complete any loops…the rain isn’t helping either. Thank you for a great ski season and have a wonderful spring, summer and fall. We’ll see you next winter! Remember, once the snow is gone we’ll be in mud season and the trails will be soft and vulnerable to footprints and tire tracks. Letting them dry out a bit is a great way to preserve the surface. Thank you for being good stewards of our wonderful trails!!

Excellent grooming effort at the park! Thank you NSAA. Jodphur is essentially finished. It is more of an obstacle course than ski track, but it did have some quite pleasant sections with good coverage and glide that I truly appreciated and enjoyed. That said, I did not ski it a second time. The SML is still pretty darn good with clean snow and excellent grooming. I had good glide most of the time, but the stadium is no fun and best avoided. I think the SML makes it to the weekend. Skiing in late April at sea level is amazing!!!

Kincaid Park: 4/20: Well, Craig made a pass on the Jodhpur, which has a little life left, however it’s getting there that’s the hard part. He also groomed the SML…expect to get wet in the Stadium. Happy Monday!

Great grooming for morning skate ski on SML, Jodhpur, Margaux, icebox, and hairpin.

Kincaid Park Sunday Apr 19 by redwop

Still good on Jodphur and Margaux's. The bridge over the road had a now gap, easy to walk over on skis (or not). A couple puddles but pretty darn nice, especially for April 19th! SML and Dark alley good.

Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage Sunday Apr 19 by Friendly Report Bot [?]

Kincaid Park: Craig groomed Margaux’s and Jodhpur with no major dirt spots but some “portageable” water holes. Those trails may support one more day of grooming, but the rest of the park is done for the season. The SML has a few more days to go til the end. Have fun out there!

Hillside: Last groom for this season…the Lighted Loops are as good as they get, at this point. Have a super spring/summer and fall and we’ll see you back on your boards in the winter. Thank you for a great season!!

Skied from jodhpur loop itself mostly fine couple puddles but trail holding up well. Took ice box to 4 corners connector and there were 2 big deep puddles across the trail that you could sneak on the side ok. Otherwise rest if jodhpur loop fine and you could avoid puddles. Classic ski with skins fine and skate skiers in group did good too. Definitely end of season conditions but totally adequate for a good enjoyable ski workout.

Kincaid Park Saturday Apr 18 by redwop

Still grooming, awesome! Some puddles and forest bypasses, and the Swamp is pretty tough to bypass But I though Elliots, Roller Coste,r Dark Alley, Snowmaking loop, and the loop from stadium to chalet pretty nice!
THANKS NSAA!!

Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage Saturday Apr 18 by Friendly Report Bot [?]

Kincaid Park: Craig groomed, without track, the first half of the Mize, Arlene’s, Margaux’s (ski with caution, watch for water holes), Jodhpur, 4 Corners crossing trail (water holes), Ice Box/Hairpin (water holes), Lekisch 1.5 (dirt and water holes), Dark Alley, Tasha’s, Elliot’s, World Cup (slush fest), Easy St./S Turns (water holes). The SML and Play Hill are still holding up and have track. Watch for ducks in the Stadium! Only a few more days left of grooming. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Hillside: Groomed the skate lanes only on the Lighted Loops, Gasline and Spencer…no track. Maybe one more groom left? Watch for a bear roaming around Abbot parking lot area. Have a great day!

Probably last ski of a fabulous ski season. Thank you so much groomers. When you tromp thru forest to get around puddles it seems like it might be time to call it. Again thank you groomers for a wonderful ski season.

Kincaid Park Friday Apr 17 by Randal Bladel

Grooming continues to make the trails quite nicely skiable. Yes, Julian, there are still many people out using the grooming. Best to go early, before it softens. Mize is done, unless maybe you ski it backwards to Violaâs swamp, and turn around. Ice box/hairpin, Lekisch 2.9, Elliotâs, S-turns, Margauxâs, and Jodhpur were all nice. Never close to anybody, and certainly not within infectious distance unless maybe they were sneezing directly at me. The whole infectious nature of the virus via simply breathing is still controversial in the sparse literature, which I read because I work in the hospital, where the potential danger is magnified. I am not worried on the trails.

Did anyone find a pair of waxless classic skis at the Kinkaid stadium parking lot? Would have been yesterday (thursday 16th).

Skied first half mize twice it was great easy edging and slushy snow but not bad no water puddles or bad ice on first half. Lots of debris mixed into snow but didnt slow things down too much. Classic skied and had fine kick with skin skis. My kiddo skate skied and had good glide it looked like.

Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage Wednesday Apr 15 by Friendly Report Bot [?]

Kincaid Park: Craig made one lap around the Stadium and SML with track. He groomed the Mize (water holes and icy spots), Arlene’s, outer loop only on Sisson (water holes at airport approach lights), Margaux’s (1-2 water holes and icy spots), Upper tunnel is flooding, Jodhpur, Lekisch Lighted (water holes and icy spots) all with new track and no dirt showing. He also hit the skate lane on the Multi-Use. Enjoy!

Hillside: Matt groomed the Lighted Loops and found more grey ice and water. Service Stadium and access to trails are shot. He double tracked Gasline, Richter and Bog for “social distance” skiing. He mentioned that nothing froze after he finished grooming so expect conditions to be soft and breaking down as the day goes on. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Yesterday I was moping around, mourning the demise of local crust skiing. Today I decided to try slush skiing but was pleasantly surprised to find fresh corduroy at Kincaid at 8a. Even at 35F, Mize loop was wonderful skate-skiing. Second half has a few wet spots, starting shortly after âtriangle treeâ (you jr. Nordicers have no doubt played triangle tag there), and ending with a couple lakes youâll need to portage around. Totally worth it. Thank you, Groomers!

Kincaid Park Tuesday Apr 14 by Jason

Skied second half mize pretty good considering maybe 3 or 4 spots with puddles across the trail but we were able to get through without too much trouble. I wqs classic skiing on skin skis and the kick was fine my 8 year old was skating and his glide seemed fine. The grouse are still active at the mize halfway point so watch out for them.

Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage Tuesday Apr 14 by Friendly Report Bot [?]

Kincaid Park: Minimal grooming due to equipment issues. Jack groomed the skate lane and left the old track on Margaux’s and the SML and removed the track and groomed the Lekisch Lighted for skating only. Have fun out there!

Hillside: Matt groomed and set track on all the Lighted Loops, Spencer, Gasline and Double Bubble. He said the Service Stadium is “ready to let go”, the Spencer is “good” and the Lighted’s are “cobby”. Have fun out there!

Beach Lake Trails - Chugiak: Bill made one pass to scratch up the skate lanes on most of the trails on the Chalet side of Main St. Although lightly frozen, the base was starting to come apart on some of the hills and he felt he’d do more harm than good on the steeper terraine. The whole Stadium has water under it and the tunnels are starting to go as well. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Skijored the Raspberry multiuse on some of the best conditions of the year (on April 6th!!!). Thanks to the NSAA groomers for going extra-wide in this age of physical distancing- so helpful.

Hillside Monday Apr 6 by C. Crawford

Apparently there is a dispute about what "winter" means on trails designated as "winter use skiing only." I have first hand knowledge of some signage (not at Hillside) and I know some of the history of the more recent Hillside signage. The signage I am familiar with does have regulatory force and was put in place with the knowledge and approval of Parks and Rec. Some signage at Kincaid includes the muni logo. The phrase "ski only in winter" appeals to common sense and the presence of grooming. No signage can accommodate quibbles about when the first day of spring arrives, etc. The phrasing must be concise and users must act with good will. This year NSAA also added some additional clearly phrased signage that is hard to misunderstand.

Kincaid Park Monday Apr 6 by Jay Peabody

Trails super fast with good edging. I'm with Eric: Oct to April means October 1 through April 30. Bikers, walkers, dogs, and wrong way skiers are all a danger to themselves and the skiers. Collisions do happen and can have significant consequences, especially this time of year when condition make for some very fast skiing. I know first hand - broken bones, several surgeries, and multiple years to fully recover. Signage is a big problem. Most people will do the right thing but some need it clearly spelled out for them. The new Winter Operations signs, and the new signs placed on the large posts are nice but are too detailed or too cryptic. It needs to be spelled out clearly: NO WALKING, NO DOGS, NO BIKES ON SKI TRAILS DURING WINTER. The SKI ONLY IN WINTER signs don't cut it either. Non skiers don't understand and think it's a sort of saying, as if skiing isn't allowed in summer. We can do better than these ineffective signs.

Kincaid Park Monday Apr 6 by Jim

Amazing and fast condition on the freshly groomed trails at Kincaid this morning. The fresh tracks were almost dangerously fast in some places (watch for moose and people on the downhills). Tracks were also much cleaner than they were yesterday due to the winds. Lekish and the classic only trails (Lake Loop and Horseshoe) were newly groomed but hard, fast, and icy. Sunny areas were softening up by around noon. Klister (Swix KX40s) worked for the first 10K or so until it came off. Skate skiing should be great, too.

Kincaid Park: After yesterday’s sunshine and warm wind and last night’s temperature drop, the trails were rock hard. Craig made two passes on the Lighted Loops, Stadium Loop, Play Hill and SML and set new track. He groomed the skate lane on the Multi-Use and Matt groomed the Lake and Horseshoe Loops. Have a great day!

Hillside: The Lighted Loops, Gasline, Richter/Ridge and Bog trails have been groomed. Watch for dirt spots developing on tops of hills here and there. Have a great Monday!

Beach Lake Trails - Chugiak: Bill said there is about 1″ of new snow on the trails so he put it down as he groomed and set new track on the whole park except Serpentine, Meander, Coach’s and Executioner. He said to watch for a little water on the Christy and the far end of the Stadium and reduced the oval in the Stadium to avoid the water. Have fun out there!

What Bear said below is accurate. Super slow....

With spring weather there are lots of walkers and bikers (yes, them too) on the ski trails. I'm politely reminding them that the ski trails are for skiers only but at least please stay to the side of the trail. The snow is slow enough that you can't really have any high speed accidents. Remind them, but be polite about it.

Kincaid Park Saturday Apr 4 by Bear

Gorgeous weather, super-slow snow. Even with Swix CH10 yellow it was some of the slowest skiing I've done for quite a while.

I think the grooming report for Kincaid that said "except a few trails on the dark side" was maybe overselling it a bit - seemed like most of the stuff we tried between Jodhpur and the stadium was ungroomed. Stairway to Heaven with 3" of mushy wet snow on it was pretty intense. Icebox *was* groomed.

That said, get out and enjoy it. Even while puffing away it was still just good fun.

Kincaid was beautiful today! Lots of people out there, including some who look like newbies so beware of people going any direction on the loops. :) Also some walkers on the trails. We're at that crossover time of year.

Hillside: Matt’s report: “Tonight’s groom would not only be an adventure, but one that will go down in history. I made my over the tank trails, intent on hooking up with Bill, who, I would not doubt, was carefully manicuring some trail in Eagle River or Chugiak. I went from Beach Lake to Edmunds Lake to Mirror Lake , too many lakes to count. All to no avail. I finally went to Eagle River High School and still no sign of Bill. Disappointed and running low on fuel, I made my way back to Hillside. I did not have to steer, PB 101 knew the way. In the end, we settled for a couple of laps around all the dual technique trails and touched up the skate lanes. The track was solid with minimal glaze, just like it was mid winter. I called it a night, topped the fuel tank of 101, and headed home. This April 1 adventure was enough.”

Skate skied Mize and Sisson. The morning groom on Mize is glorious, with minimal debris considering yesterdayâs wind. Day-old groom on Sisson is hard and crusty, but still fantastic; fast, with exactly enough to get a good edge (though no more). Only getting soft in two or three sunny spots. The worst debris of the route was on Arleneâs. Iâve never felt so fast with a kid in tow behind me, and seemed like we could have kept going forever!

Windy. Stick slalom on most trails from tree bits coming down. Sisson was windswept clear. Other recent grooming was hard, fast, but quite edge able. Less recent grooming was faster and much less edge able.
