Weather and Conditions: -3C, clear skies, no new snow overnight, snowing lightly this AM. Total snowpack heights variable but around 2 meters at upper riding elevations. Spring melt now well underway: expect patchy dirt/snow riding up Coal Creek below the Matheson and up Morrissey below the first bridge. We are still grooming corduroy above these elevations with good spring corn snow. No refreeze overnight.

Spring Parking: We are allowing trucks/sled decks and small trailers to travel past the Coal Creek Kiosk up the trail to the first bridge. From here, please use the plowed turnaround provided and park facing downhill on the North side of the road. Check in with kiosk attendant to ensure there is room for you! Best staging for large trailers at this time is Morrissey – please note there is NO ROOM for vehicles and trailers to park or turn around above the Morrissey Kiosk at this time. Help us conserve trail quality and keep our grooming season going as long as possible by NOT driving your vehicles up the groomed trail past the snowline.

Groomed: Morrissey (from the first bridge up), Summit Trail, Doug Dean Trail, Coal Creek down to the switchback. No grooming or trail maintenance at Corbin due to logging activities.

Weather and Conditions: -3C, clear skies, no new snow overnight. Total snowpack heights variable but around 2 meters at upper riding elevations. Both lower Coal Creek and Morrissey trails are starting their spring melt out with patches of dirt now showing – the groomer operator has been spending considerable time pushing snow around to maintain coverage as best possible on all groomed routes. Conditions are spring corn snow throughout with no overnight re-freeze. Lowest Coal Creek between the staging area and the first bridge has limited snow left – we are allowing vehicles to drive past the kiosk up trail, turn around in the upper parking lot beside the bridge and park facing downtrail on North side of the road. Please check in with the attendant to ensure there is room left – suitable for trucks with sled decks only. For those hauling large trailers, we recommend using the Morrissey Staging Area for best parking/access at this time. Please help us conserve trail quality and length of our operating season by NOT driving up the groomed trail past the snowline.

With the spring melt well on it’s way, riders will find the best lower elevation trail conditions/access via the Morrissey. Remember: Coal Creek was plowed to dirt up until Feb 16th so the only snow on the trail below Paige’s Draw is what we could salvage from the banks or what fell from the sky since then. We will be moving staging access uphill at Coal Creek this week. Vehicles choosing to stage out of Coal Creek can use the main parking lot, or stop at the kiosk to check in with the attendant and if room, drive past kiosk up trail to the turnaround and park facing downhill on the road (NORTH side of the road) to reduce the amount of ‘dirt’ you need to ride. Please help us conserve the trail and do not drive in your vehicles past the updated snow berm location! We will do our best to plow turn arounds and gradually move the staging access uphill as conditions permit. We are still grooming all Morrissey and Coal Creek loops 4 nights a week and conditions are excellent spring riding.
