We groomed Hwy 20 late today. There was 5-12" of new snow on the trail. The temperature was warmer and the snow was wet. The trail groomed out nicely. It is ready for the cold temperatures that are in the forecast for the next few days and will have a good base for any additional new snow. It was snowing hard on the return trip from Cutthroat.

1/24 Grooming Report

Groomed out of Boulder Creek SP to Roger Lake Y today. We were able to remove all the moguls. Temps were single digits when we started but ended in the high 30's on our return trip just a couple of hours later. The bright sunshine is heating things up fast right now.

Okanogan County is grooming the Eastside so it should be great snowmobiling to Tiffany or Conconully.

The additional grooming has smoothed out the trail, before is on the right of this picture and after is on the left. The trail is holding up well under current conditions.

Eightmile - Sweetgrass

We groomed from the temporary sno-park for Eightmile to Sweetgrass Butte, over Banker Pass to Goat Creek Sno-park.

1/15 Grooming Report

Hwy 20

Groomed Hwy 20 today using a Mogul Master. We were able to get a lot of the moguls out but will be back again on Friday 1/17 to make it even better. The snow was clumpy and difficult to break up for a really smooth trail but the mogul master did a good job on the moguls.
