Cross country skiing at Mat-Su: Independence Mine

Mat-Su: Independence Mine

On May 26th DOT Cleared Gold Cord Road. That’s a wrap on grooming for the season! Huge thank you to our incredible and dedicated volunteer groomers who make grooming possible all winter long and continue supporting year-round trail work behind the scenes. Your time, effort, and commitment help create the experience so many people enjoy out on the trails. We truly couldn’t do it without you.
