Ski trails at Chief Joseph Pass are being groomed this morning. Most trails are being groomed with a cat by Lost Trail. The lower trails(Banshee, Joseph Creek, Middle Fork) do not have enough snow for the cat yet, but our snowmobile grooming crew is going to start working on them today. Do not expect the lower trails to be good skiing yet, today’s grooming there is to establish a base for the rest of the season.

This should be the start of our regular grooming schedule. Trails are generally groomed Thursday, and Saturday or Sunday. Trail grooming may happen more often or be delayed due to storms.

There is not enough snow to groom at Como yet, but we are ready to groom there as soon as there is a foot of snow.

Both the ski trails and multi use trails at Chief Joseph Pass were groomed today.

At Chief Joseph Pass, we’re excited to introduce a new initiative: Monday Grooming. Given the limited low elevation skiing opportunities in the Bitterroot area, we’ve adjusted our grooming schedule to provide additional mid-week skiing options. Today marks the inaugural day of this initiative, and its continuation throughout the season will depend on its usage and popularity among our visitors.
