Ski trails at Chief Joseph pass were groomed today, and the parking lot was plowed. Parking space is still limited, so park efficiently and consider carpooling. Tomorrow should be great conditions for classic skiing, but it might be too cold and soft for great skate conditions.
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.

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.
