Hillside Trails Report

Friday 4/19:  One last hurrah!!  Craig track packed the Besh, Hillside and Randy’s with the snow machine this afternoon.  The sun is melting it fast and expect dirt to become an issue on the 1-2 inches of soft base.  Use caution on all corners and get it while it lasts!

Beach Lake Trails Report

Wednesday 3/27:  No New Grooming Today.  Enjoy!!

Tuesday 3/26:  Bill groomed the same trails as yesterday except for No Way.  Enjoy!

Monday 3/225:  Bill was out grooming this morning with the snow cat and mentioned that the more he “works” the snow the faster it will degrade.  It was cold enough last night and the trails still have mostly good snow coverage.  He removed the tracks on the trails he groomed and said to watch for dirt spots, water and ice here and there…especially on the hills. Ski it while it lasts!!  The tunnels have gone “clear” and the Stadium at CHS is flooding so he has abandoned that side.  Have a great week!

General Trail Updates and Information

Snowmaking Has a Green Light, So Far

Feb 11, 2019 | Trails

The crew had some good news late last week about the new pump that was recently installed to replace the old one that stopped working.  Our Snowmaking volunteer Tim Brabets explained the details and is hopeful.  “The electrician wired in the new breaker,...

Snow Making Update

Jan 25, 2019 | Trails

The snowmaking process at Kincaid Park has been unexpectedly interrupted as the primary pump is not operational.  At this point we have been unable to thoroughly detect the problem.  The pump will need to be pulled from the well before we can identify the issue.  It...

Saving the Base

Dec 26, 2018 | Trails

While it looks like all the trails have plenty of snow, we’re still in need of several more inches for the optimal grooming conditions.  Lately, the groomers have been grooming with the snow machines in order to conserve what little base we have.  There are only...

It’s beginning to look a lot like winter!

Dec 12, 2018 | Trails

The snow is falling all over Anchorage and the surrounding areas and the groomers have been grooming.  For the past several weeks, the weather ebbed and flowed with warm temperatures and rain which made grooming the icy trails difficult and at times impossible. ...

Snowmaking Update

Nov 28, 2018 | Trails

The story is a short one…we haven’t made much snow this year.  By November 30 last year, the snowmaking system had been “on” and making snow for 242 hours with several trails completed and skiable.  This season, the process has been slowed due...

November Rain

Nov 18, 2018 | Trails

Here we are again with false hopes of early skiing.  The warmer temperatures and some rain have settled in for the weekend, but the forecast has snow showing up soon.  We will not despair as we can use this time to prime our gear in anticipation of the more promising...

October Snow

Oct 30, 2018 | Trails

Here we are in the tail end of October and the snow is right on time!  While areas on the Hillside received 3-4″, Kincaid only has 1/8″.  But then Chugiak and Eagle River are reporting 6-10″.  Rarely is the snowfall where you want it every...

One Last Hurrah!

Apr 5, 2018 | Trails

So far April has offered some pretty excellent Spring skiing…some reports say it’s been the best of the season.  Well, how can you go wrong with all the sunshine, warmer temperatures and a promise of summer on the horizon while effortlessly gliding along a...

Busy Race Season Ahead

Jan 25, 2018 | Trails

With the success of the U.S. Nationals in our back pocket, the pressure has subsided but there are still plenty of races in the near future.  The High School skiers have a few under their belts already with the next race this Saturday (1/27) at Kincaid.  The Middle...

Winter is back!

Jan 4, 2018 | Trails

After a one day, “spring-like” weather event, Mother Nature did an about face and made a 3 inch deposit at Kincaid park.  This happened just in time to improve the course for the US Nationals event taking place and to get some skiing for the rest of us! ...
