Welcome

   Welcome to the Mountain Trails Grooming Association website.  We are currently busy getting ready for the start of the grooming season. Trail signs are going out and the proposed grooming schedule is being reviewed.

Trail Signs

Trail signs are going out! None too soon...

 Be Aware!!!

There is a large rock in the trail on the Whiteface portion of the Goat Creek trails.

2/26 Grooming Report

 

Groomed Hwy 20 today.  There was over a foot of new snow that had been partially packed by snowmobile travel.  The new snow is heavy and wet but the trail groomed out nicely.  Enjoy the pictures below from today's groom. 

2/2 Grooming Report

 

Hwy 20 at Cutthroat 

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.

1/21 Grooming Report

 ***Special note about Hwy 20***

We secured a very limited amount of additional funds to improve conditions on Hwy 20 which we have used for this purpose. 

If you are a user of Hwy 20, what you can do to help is:
1. Register your sled(s)
2. Make a Donation directly to MTGA here

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.
