Friday, December 12: Grooming at Priest is on hold pending arrival of new snow. Since the last storm cycle, the grooming crew has pretty much exhausted available snow, moving adjacent snow onto thin and bare spots. Conditions are still fairly decent today but with warm temps and lack of any precip in the forecast, conditons will likely deteriorate rapidly. Skiers are advised to be alert for thin spots and rocks that are beginning to surface. It looks like the next chance of snow will be Wednesday, the 17th.

Thursday, December 11: Someone has been using a fat bike on Priest Lake trails. Bikes are not allowed on the winter trails at Priest Lake. Deep ruts were left on steep downhills creating an extreme hazard for skiers! If you know someone that has been riding at Priest, please pass along a friendly request to refrain from that activity.
