Welcome

  Welcome to the Mountain Trails Grooming Association website.  Our grooming season is coming to a close. While sledding is fair to good at higher elevations, Spring conditions are the norm in the valley. Most sno-parks are running out of snow, making trail access difficult. Ride with caution and be safe.  

We are currently only grooming Hwy 20 until WSDOT starts clearing the road around mid-March.

Grooming Report 3/6

 

Spring is upon us and the trails are definitely showing it.  We groomed Hwy 20 this morning, temps started in the low 30's but when the wind came in it increased quickly. We have cooler temps and snow predicted for next week which will help maintain the trail.

Today was not a good day for pictures of the trail so we took some scenery pictures instead. 

Grooming Report 2/25

 

Groomed all of Eightmile - Sweetgrass area today, including Sherwood Forest, Cub Creek and Banker Pass.  The trail had received 3" - 6" of new snow in the last couple of days which groomed out to excellent trail riding conditions. 

Spring conditions are here with warming temperatures and little to no expected new snow.  Trail conditions can deteriorate quickly so ride now while conditions are good!

Grooming Report 2/17

 

It was a nice crisp morning in the valley but slightly warmer on Hwy 20.  The trail groomed out well and the roughness created from the heavy use this weekend is all smoothed out.  The trail is receiving some fresh snow this afternoon.

We also groomed Lower Hart's Pass today.  We removed the moguls as much as possible with the limited snow on the trail. It is also snowing on Hart's. 

Grooming Report 2/13

 

We groomed Sweetgrass today from Cub Creek to Banker Pass, Sweetgrass Butte, and Eightmile Road. While Spring conditions of ice, rocks and dirt are showing on all trails, this trail is still mostly in good condition.  

The bypass trail at Cub is very poor but the main road is compact snow to the trail on the 100 road.  Third creek has decent snow but on the shallow side.  It is still a good ride.

Grooming Report 2/12

 

Grooming Goat Creek today for the MVSA Bucket Run on Saturday 2/14.  It is typical Spring conditions in the lower elevations.  There is some new snow up higher that groomed into an excellent trail.  Should be a fun ride on Saturday!
