this page is the NSAA trail grooming report. Trail updates are for the ANC-Eagle River-Chugiak trails. The Mat-Su valley trails are linked near the bottom of that page. I haven't skied the Mat-Su trails yet but look forward to soon.

this is the local trail forum in which skiers (and road cyclists who put on skis in the winter, like me) give trail reports after skiing them
The trail phone hotlines and weather links are extremely useful as well.
And if you want info on summat else to load into your iPod other than the latest tunes, i.e. two or three of the funniest radio talk shows and podcasts in the free world, then I heartily can give out the links to those also. BTW these shows don't come out of Alaska. One comes out of Washington DC. The other comes from London. If you enjoy trying to ski and laugh at the same time......

And I hope those planning on coming up for the Tour of Anchorage this year can get some useful info off this forum. As a local in the ANC area I'll try to provide all the info I can. Last year the conditions for the TOA were really nice considering the warm days leading up to the TOA....so far the El Niño winter has brought us buckets of snow after a cold, dry, high-pressure-dominated November.
