jANUARY 17, 2026 FSA Grooming Report
CONDITIONS:
This morning temperatures are -9.8°C at cabin elevation with light winds. 0cm amounts of new snow overnight. 25cm in the past 7 days. Total snowpack heights are around 205cm.
Note: Earlier this week we had moist snow up to cabin elevation. Temps have returned to hard refreeze overnight which has left a crust in most riding areas. The grooming is mint right now but it’s ‘scratchers down’ kind of conditions out there friends! Get out there and enjoy the sunshine and great event today at the Rolling Hills cabin.
Expect snowcat on trail all day today - slow down, make eye contact and wait until he waves you by. Terry is headed on up to the event and also putting a fresh till on the trail this morning to reduce overheating for morning riders after this hard overnight refreeze.
Today: Mainly sunny, possible low cloud and fog patches during the morning. Windy at times. High near -1.
Tonight: Cloudy. Clear with cloudy periods, possible patchy fog and low cloud overnight. Low near -9.
GROOMING:
Corbin: Groomed from the staging area to the McClatchie last night.
Coal Creek: Variable conditions on lower trail up to about 1540m (Paige’s Draw) - few spots with open water in lower sections. Coal Creek, Doug Dean, Summit Trail, and Matheson groomed last night. Martin groomed Dec 16.
Morrissey: Staging area to 1540m (graffiti rock) has moist snow with variable conditions. McEvoy, upper Morrissey down to the first bridge groomed last night. Notch groomed Jan 10 to the peak.
Hartley: Jan 10th, groomed from the staging area to just before the lake - had to stop and turn around as operator encountered more new trees down on the trail and could not pass. Last Friday the trail was groomed from staging to just before the East Fork of the Sulphur. Crews continue to deal with the massive volume of trees down on the trail from holiday windstorms.
Ram: Open. No grooming.
