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.
