Currently, there is not enough snow to start grooming. Grooming operations will begin when sufficient snow accumulates as to not damage snow cat.
The groomer was run on January 6th and 7th,2012. Trails were groomed at Chepta, Paradise, Dry Fork and East Park. The snow conditions are from 2 inches to 26 inches on the top. Snow is scarce in some areas. Some trailheads have been moved due to low snow.
The groomer will not go out until we have more snow. Do a snow dance and hope for SNOW!!
Thanks to our volunteer groomers for making this program possible.
