GROOMED

Morrissey: Morrissey Trail, Summit Trail, Doug Dean Trail groomed last night. Note that the Morrissey bridge over the Elk River is being re-decked and will be CLOSED Feb 28-Mar 3 and Mar 7 - 10th from 9am-5pm daily.

Coal Creek: Coal Creek Trail groomed last night. TRAIL CHANGE: Please note that the ‘old’ trail does not exist anymore due to flood damage - the FSA has built a NEW trail this fall on the left bank of Coal Creek that rejoins the ‘old’ Coal Creek trail just above the Matheson junction.

Corbin: Active logging and hauling in progress 7 days a week out of the Barnes / Elliot area. The FSA and Canfor have worked to build a bypass trail on the shoulder of the road for the first 6km to allow both groups to operate - sledders MUST use the groomed trail on the shoulder of the road. It is illegal and very dangerous to snowmobile on the plowed road.

Hartley: Groomed Feb 16th from the staging area to the East Fork of the Sulphur.

Ram: Closed to large, impassable washout near km45. Cabin remains locked
