Grooming:
Corbin: OPEN. Groomed Dec 15th from the staging area to the McClatchie.
Coal Creek: OPEN. Coal Creek Trail, Summit Trail, Doug Dean Trail groomed last night.

Snowcats will be working Dec 17-19th to rebuild the snow road and fill in bridges on the Morrissey trail from the staging area to the Wranglers Cabin. Do not drive up the road/park - you will likely be ‘trapped’ in by the snowcat. 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.
Hartley: OPEN. The first groom is scheduled for Dec 22, 2022
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.
