Friday Update

Trails at Chief Joseph Pass were groomed today, but last we heard the parking lot was not plowed. We are trying to get an ETA from the DOT on plowing, but have no ETA yet. If you go up there and the lot is plowed, please let us know.

Como was groomed today. We groomed up the to middle/upper road split, down wolf track, and to the end of lower road. We did not groom upper or middle road. The snow is very deep, expect soft conditions. Parking is now at the boat ramp, please do not attempt to drive above there.

Como, 2/5/2025

Como was groomed last night. Up to the upper road/middle road split it is pretty well groomed. Beyond there upper road and middle road are just snowmobile packed. Lower road and wolf track were not groomed.
It has snowed 6 more inches since grooming finished.

Midweek update, 2/4/2025

Due to heavy snowfall and dangerous avalanche conditions the Bitterroot Ridge Runners will not be grooming any of the snowmobile trails this week. That means Lost Horse, Skalkaho, and Skalkaho Rye will not be groomed.

We will be grooming at Como tonight, but the goal is just to get things packed down, so don’t expect to go skate skiing Wednesday.

Chief Joseph Pass will be groomed again Thursday. Except ungroomed conditions until then.

Chief Joseph Pass 1/27/2025

The Multi Use Trails at Chief Joseph Pass are being groomed this morning. The Ski trails were last groomed thursday, and have received 2 inches of new snow since they. They are in great condition for classic skiing, and ok condition for skate skiing.

We will not be grooming at Como this week. Conditions are still ok from last weeks grooming, and we really need more snow.

Como 1/22/25

Ski trails at Como were groomed last night, with the exception of Upper Road which was groomed Monday, and Wolf Track which needs more snow.

We have also heard that conditions on the lake are great for skate skiing. Note: Lake ice is a dangerous environment, don’t take our word for it being safe. If you choose to go out ski with a buddy, and carry appropriate safety gear.

Chief Joseph Pass 1/14

The trails at Chief Joseph Pass currently have about 3 inches of snow on top of the last grooming. Conditions are great for classic skiing and snowshoeing, and pretty ok for skate skiing. Trails will be groomed again Thursday.
If you notice a few snowmobile tracks on the trails tomorrow, don’t be alarmed. The ski club and USFS were out today working on trail signs.

This weekend is the Darby Dog Derby, a dog sled and skijoring race. The race happens on the multi use trails, and while the trails are still open for skiing, we request that you do not bring your dogs out during the day.
