Grooming:
Special Note: Feb 5 - 8th we will be shifting grooming to day time operations so that we can farm snow, clear drainages, and complete other tasks to help us offer the best trail product possible. Expect equipment on trail at all times.
Corbin: Open. Groomed to just past the Rain Gauge on Friday.
Coal Creek: Open. Groomed Coal Creek, Doug Dean, and Summit Trail last yesterday.
Morrissey: Open. Groomed Morrissey Trail last night. McEvoy Trail groomed yesterday. We are cautiously working to get the trail built to the Notch this week - this is slow and tedious work. Please note that this area is still under reclamation from pipeline construction and with significant changes from previous years. Many hazards exist off the road including log piles, steel poles and fencing.
Hartley: Open. Staging area to the east fork of the Sulphur last groomed Dec 26th. No grooming last 2 week due to High avalanche hazard and isothermal conditions on trail. Next groomed scheduled for Feb 8th.
Ram: Open.
