West Elk Trails Groomer Report – Monday, March 9, 2026 ❄️🎿 Get it while it’s hot. 🥵 😎
As of 3:30 PM, it was 44°F, sunny, and breezy at the trailhead. Groomers were able to set classic track on Kay’s Loop, Highway 819, and the East Cutoff, and groom Eric’s Loop. On Eric’s, the groomer hit some dirt and it got spread onto the trail surface, so we did not make additional passes over that section.
Crews also hauled and dumped six sled loads of snow onto Dorothy’s View to help coverage, though a few rocks are still being contacted in that area. Zeus’s Cutoff was not groomed today, as snow is thinning around brush and melting back quickly.
Overall, snow is melting fast and with a sunny week forecasted, this could be one of the final weeks of grooming. Expect frozen, firm conditions in the morning, with trails softening quickly once the sun hits.
We’ll reassess conditions again Friday and share another update. So get it while it’s hot 😄🎿
