Grooming:
Corbin: OPEN. Groomed to the McClatchie yesterday.
Coal Creek: OPEN. Coal Creek Trail, Doug Dean Trail, Summit Trail groomed last night.
Morrissey: OPEN. Morrissey Trail groomed. FSA will not be grooming the McEvoy or Pipeline this winter as the areas remain CLOSED for pipeline construction. Please see the map and further details HERE. Very limited parking this season at Morrissey; lower lot closed and upper lot full of construction materials - not suitable for trucks with trailers. Do not snowmobile on the plowed road from the parking lot to the trailhead kiosk - all sledders must use the connector trail. It is illegal to snowmobile on a plowed road, very dangerous for yourself and public, and is subject to a hefty fine from the RCMP.
Hartley: OPEN. Groomed to the East Fork of the Sulphur yesterday.
Ram: OPEN. No grooming. Cabin open. The Lodgepole FSR will be plowed from the lower Morrissey parking lot to the Flathead this winter for timber harvesting. Expect heavy industrial traffic at all times. There is excellent information regarding radio call up/down procedures, channel maps and more HERE.
