New update
Icy to Bridge. Groomed from bride up. OK skiing.
update
Not groomed this morning. Water on ice. If you can get to the bridge the trail maybe OK. The groomer did not get that far.
Grooming
Montana Creek groomed for skate and classic. Skate is good Classic poor. Lots of skiers there this morning.
Grooming
Montana Creek will be groomed Saturday morning.
Saturday Grooming
The Camp Ground will not be groomed Saturday. There is 1/2 inch or less snow on the ice and it is not bonded to the ice. More snow is needed.
Montana Creek improved with new snow
1 ” of new snow together with Doug’s grooming helped improve the trail for skate skiing Friday morning. There’s still a few icy spots and rocks looming just below the surface but by in large very good skiing all things considered.
Montana Creek good for skate skiing
When Scott found that he couldn’t groom the campground yesterday (Wednesday), he went to Montana Creek and started grooming there. He and Don Thomas were able to get the machine across the bridge despite the low snow cover and groomed the road so that skate skiing is now pretty good. Classic skiing also possible, but the classic track is not very well set (need more snow). It’s still icy at the gate and the very first hill, so he recommends using ice grippers to walk down the first hill a short distance until you can see the groomed section.
