Seeley Creek Nordic Ski Trails Grooming Report at 7:44pm Jan 14, 2026
The two extremely warm days have taken too great a toll. Too many very thin or bare spots under large trees that have held snow all winter. There is skiable groomed snow, and some of it is really nice. But it is impossible to connect a solid loop. Some of the best snow is around the yurt. And I cleaned all of that up, so it will be silky smooth in the morning. If you are willing to dodge or walk around the bare patches you can ski with caution, but good skis are definitely out.

Today is the last day of really warm temps. We will be grooming this evening after the temperature drops below freezing. Skiing first to asses which trails we can and what we groom with.

The skate deck is in great shape, thank-you groomers!
Unfortunately mother nature thinks its spring…so gettin’ soft and slow in the heat.

Touched up the skate lanes Sunday night after another busy day. We need more snow to reset classic at this point. Most of the classic still looks pretty good. The skate skiers have been very courteous.

Used the ginzu to clean up the skate lane. There's fresh corduroy on the 5k. 10k, and the trailhead. Classic is better left alone until we get some more new snow. Area X and the Connector were also ginzu groomed tonight, which served to smooth the base significantly.
Should still be silky and fast tomorrow.

Three plus inches of additional new snow during the day on Friday really changed things for the better. Skate AND classic today!
Hawk Woods was a first pass this morning and is still a bit bumpy; the surface is pretty rough from recent logging and cannot be fixed until next summer.
With the fresh snow in the trees it is a gorgeous morning here. Current temp is 18F.
