Bird to Gird Trail Wednesday Jun 17 by Devo

Rode Indian to Girdwood bike trail RT. Trail is in relatively good shape with little of the usual avalanche debris or stream deposits. Some big bumps from tree roots will need to be fixed. Some areas the bushes are leaning well into the trail. Overall a nice ride.

Girdwood Ski Trails Saturday Jan 17 by SkiGirdwood

The 5K has been groomed. Ski with caution and watch for water across the trail/ice as it drains today between Earnagain and 2Cents access points. Ski 2K to avoid the pond. The recent wet and warm weather has saturated our meadows and drainages. When the temps cool off and time allows for adequate draining, and the surface can accommodate, grooming will resume.

Grooming Reports

In pursuit of our mission to provide a state-wide platform for all trail conditions, and to support the grooming efforts of the clubs that make those trails possible, we are excited to now include automated grooming reports provided by the Municipality of Anchorage's (MOA) Nordic Grooming Map.

When MOA, NSAA, or Girdwood NSC update the grooming status on the MOA Map, it is automatically displayed here as well, thanks to our "Friendly Trail Bot". Each new grooming update is displayed as a text report, similar to our usual user reports, including the names of the trails groomed as well as any groomer comments. The groomed trails are also displayed on the map, color-coded based on how long ago they were groomed.

This is a new feature, and we'd love to get your feedback on how we can improve it. Please send me an email: cory@snowio.com And, of course, we still want to see all of your first-hand reports posted here as well!

Thank you to the Municipality of Anchorage, Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage, and Girdwood Nordic Ski Club for making this possible! Please support these clubs' grooming efforts!

If you'd like to get your local club's grooming updates on this site (automated or otherwise), please get in touch. We'd love to make it happen!
