Good morning, Long time no speak ...

        Good news we have been extremely busy and quite honestly there
hasn't been a  lot of time to report to few if any changes.
        Had a Great week once again with the fine management Team of the
Odom Corporation and Associated Vendors ... Thanks to them again! What an
Awesome group of People they have put together to represent the company and
the Products they market "Good Energy"!!!  Thanks Mike, Jen and all the
troops  :)

        Please see Randy Crosby's grooming report below ... The Temps here
have been in the 20's at night and mid 30's and a little higher during the
days ... and have had some, but minimal meltage!
        The trail system is in incredible shape and barring a real spike in
temps should "hold" for some time. The Multiple Views the System creates is
worth a "Making a Journal" ... the last few days I've taken different groups
on the North Loop, the Deep Creek Trail and the Kahiltna River (not on the
system yet) and have seen magnificent vista's of Mt. McKinley and the entire
Alaska Range from the East, South and West; each view is absolutely Awe
Inspiring by itself ... and to have that opportunity has been incredibly
rewarding. Quite honestly I should have had a camera and made a Journal ...
10 out of the last 12 days have been "Blue Bird" ... and the system has
opened up "HUGE" opportunities for even the newest of riders to enjoy "ALL"
of it.  We are truly Reaping the Benefits of this Trail System that the
Curry Ridge Riders and the Anchorage Snow Clubs have worked so hard to
Create ... and there's still plenty of Season Left to see it all! Please ask
me how you can contribute to Funding and the ongoing development of what has
become Alaska's Finest and best Maintained Trail System!!
        Access to these groomed trails: On the Parks Highway: MP 105 (Just
north of the Big Su Bridge), MP 114 (at Trapper Creek Inn 733.2302), MP 121
(just off road Parking Lot, nice and big), MP 127, and MP 131 (decent sized
parking). Off Petersville Road (moving West of the Parks at MP 114) at MP 12
(the Safari Lake Trail Head) and the Kroto Creek Parking Lot (big enough for
200- 300 vehicles). There are more places to access the trails ... but these
are the Biggest and easiest access.
        Next year we hope to have New and Improved maps ... hopefully
showing the difference between "Approved" Borough Trails and "Approved and
Groomed"  Borough Trails ...
        Again, please see Randy's most current report ... attached below ...

Thanks again for a Great Season ... FYI we do have availability Starting
this Sunday Night the 28th and at present 3 cabins available next Friday and
Saturday Nights the Denali, the Moose and the Grizzly:

Tuesday the Safari lake Trail, Kroto Link(Triangle), North half of the 
P-ville Road, Deep Creek Loop, Tokositna, North Loop and the North 
part of the CBT were groomed. Moderate winds have been blowing and 
temps have stayed below freezing.

Wednesday the CBT from 129-121.5, E/W Express and the South half of 
the P-ville Road from the E/W to the Kroto Parking Lot were groomed. 
All these trails are in great shape and show very little sign of 
melting. The snow bridges remain in good shape with the Rail Road 
Creek still a one lane.

Off trail the snow is flat and firm but not rock hard. The weather has 
been mostly sunny with winds out of the north and daytime temps at or 
below freezing. There is still plenty of riding left in the season so 
don't let the melting conditions in town fool you.    Have a great 
weekend.


Randy Crosby
