12/17 Grooming Report

 

 We groomed all of the Twisp River area trails.  This includes from Poorman Creek SP to W Buttermilk and from Twisp River SP all of the Twisp River Loop. The road to the Buttermilk Butte is closed due to a washout. There is lots of new snow and the trail groomed out nicely.

12/5 Grooming report

Sweetgrass Butte before grooming

Grooming started from the Eightmile Temporary SP at the intersection of Eightmile Rd and Ortell Creek Rd NF 5220 to Sweetgrass Butte and over Banker Pass to Goat Creek SP. Temps in the valley were 12-17 degrees but on top of Sweetgrass with the inversion temps were higher - 43 degrees.

Silver Star SP:  Hwy 20 was also groomed this afternoon including the loop through Cutthroat. 

The snow was cold and groomed out well but we need more snow!

12/3 Grooming Report

Goat Creek SP

We groomed out of Goat Creek SP to Yellowjacket Pass; there was not enough snow to continue down the hill to Yellowjacket SP.  We also groomed to the hut at Black Pine Basin and the Whiteface Loop.  Higher elevations have a good amount of snow; however, the lower elevations really need more for better grooming. There was an inversion above the valley fog but the snow was cold and groomed well.
