Today we finished up the rest of the Birkie Trail after the most recent snowfall. We groomed and tracked the Birkie Classic trail from OO to the American Birkebeiner trailhead. The entire trail is ready for some great weekend skiing. Enjoy!

As planned, this morning we groomed and tracked the Birkie Skate trail from the American Birkebeiner TH to OO (including Birkie Ridge) and the loops at OO. Tomorrow we will head south from OO, grooming and tracking. Conditions at OO and north of OO are great! Enjoy!

Noticeably harder packed than even yesterday. The combination of warm weather and heavy traffic is taking it's toll. Still a fine day on a firm, flat surface.

Thanks to the entire Birkie crew for running an awesome CXC/JNQ/CCSA race yesterday at the Birkie Trail Head. Trail was in outstanding condition and it was such a neat festive atmosphere with about 500 skiers. A little after 3 I took off from the Birkie start and skated down to Hatchery Creek. Trail was pretty fast so I had a blast. The trail get more hardpacked the further south you go. Nice sunset and then skiing in the dark with headlamp adds to the thrill:).

This morning I skied the whole trail from the start area to the Hatchery Park water stop. In general, conditions are excellent. The skate deck is firmer/harder nearer the major trail heads and better (IMHO) nearer the more remote trail heads. Tracks are a little thinner south of OO but still full depth and very well formed. One thin south facing hill just prior to the entrance to Fish Hatchery which was obvious and easily skied around. Starting to see a little tree litter accumulate in areas with overhanging trees. After consecutive weeks of minus temps the ground is still super cold so I didn't see any active melting even though it was 37 degrees when I stepped off the course.

Last night and this morning we groomed the skate deck and set classic track from OO to the American Birkebeiner TH (start area) on the Birkie Skate trail (including the Birkie Ridge trail connector). After the recent snow, much of the trail is groomed and tracked again. The trail keeps improving with every new snowfall!
