French Corral to Sugarloaf Grooming?

Was it groomed yesterday or will it be groomed tomorrow (Wednesday) morning? We are hoping to get up there this week, but have heard that it was pretty bad. George hasn't updated his grooming report for a few days and I don't see the number 10 trails listed on the State schedule. Thanks.

It was awful Sunday, and I doubt he's groomed since. Take the Indian Creek/Gold Ridge route, it's rough, but a lot better. Good snow off in the reprod up there, nobody seems to like getting off the road. Also might be worth it to head toward the top end of Moe Ridge, found some good snow down there too. The trail turns pretty bad down on the lower end as it's dropping into Tillicum Creek, so I'd just stay high finding good stuff.

Thanks Tim. What's the "reprod"? We may have to explore some areas we don't visit as often!

Sorry, reprod is a forestry term. Means small trees.

We rode Blewitt yesterday. The trails were well groomed.
Before heading to Blewitt, we first spoke to the guy that grooms out of the Van Creek/Eagle Creek snowpark. He said that he hadn't groomed in about 3 weeks, due to the frozen trails and lack of fresh snow. We figured the trails would be as reported - very rough. With some snow coming this weekend, maybe grooming will resume there.
