Mid-March 2025 - End of Season Groomer Report
We are now reaching the end of our Groomer Season. By regulation, our grooming season ends on March 15th.
In preparation for the completion of grooming this week we have been grooming many of the Westside trails. Unfortunately, the Eastside trails at the low elevations lacked adequate snow levels to safely run our groomer to avoid damage.
Spring riding time is upon us and there are large amounts of snow in higher elevations, so the snowmobiling adventure can continue into the coming month.
We have had an up and down season. Our weather again was a driver this year with rain, snow, warmth, excessive cold and overall, a lack of large amounts of snow at our low elevations. Despite all of those issues, we continually strived to provide the best snowmobile experience for our snowmobile community. Great appreciation needs to be given to our Groomer Operators and our volunteer Board for all they accomplished during this season.
All of the trails from the 302 parking lot, just North of Nordman, have been groomed so I suggest that would be the best location to start your adventure this coming weekend. You can access our current groomed trail report at: www.priestlakegroomers.org.
Save the Date: Groomers Golf Scramble, July 13, 2025.
Happy trails to you,
Larry Bryant, Chairman
Priest Lake Groomer Advisory Board
