    Glacier Valley trails
    Went out on a loop around the lower valley this morning. Pallet Trail is about knee deep in the utility easment (open canopy) Beaver Pond trail is becoming passable, snow free from the arch bridge to the bike trail. I returned back up Iditarod coridor. Lots of water from those pesky beavers! A bit of snow above the dump to the disc golf course. Fun run if you love water and mud! Burntski

    Center Ridge-Turnagain Pass
    Great crust skiing up at the pass with fantastic snow coverage. We parked at the non-motorized lot, headed up to the weather station, and rolled over into the Tincan Creek drainage. Made it up to the base of Kickstep at the head of the valley. We started skiing at 9am, back at the truck by 12:30pm. Large rain runnels between 2000 and 2500 feet elevation, but great snow conditions.--Lisa

    Glen Alps
    It's not over yet. I've heard that the 'far meadows' in Girdwood are still fun, plus crust skiing at Glen Alps is a hoot. Plan to start your ski at Glen Alps before 9:00 am. The first couple of miles are lumpy, but once up valley the skiing is fast and fun. Jim B

    Moose Meadow and Upper Meadows
    The crust skiing was great. Found a scarf and hat in the Meadow. Left the hat hanging on a little tree on the loop, and the scarf on the moose meadow sign. CAT track has melted out in first big meadow, so I stayed to the left. Beautiful day. No more grooming in the upper meadows. Snow on the bridges too narrow to pass. Deb

    Skookum Valley
    Skookum crust skiing was fabulous today. Been waiting for this day for a while. Hug the railroad tracks until it opens up, then several narrow snow bridges await at the corner. Perfect smooth crust up to the glacier!! We were back at the truck by 1pm...dogs had no problems.--Lisa

    Soft but do-able. Nice and quiet.
