Groomed as of Jan. 22; may have since deteriorated. Fresh wolf tracks sighted.

As of Jan. 12, yellow speed bumps are starting to show through the ice; the Juneau Nordic Ski Club has stopped grooming until the area gets more snow.

Groomed from the bridge up. Fair on lower section; good on upper half. On Jan. 28, reset classic trail from below landslide to upper end. That section of classic is now in excellent condition.
