Grooming Report Orr Creek, Johnson Creek, Skate Creek

backcountrysnowbikes · Nov 7, 2015

Update to this post:

We apologize for any confusion on this post, we are the new groomers (Operators) working for Northwest Snow Grooming LLC for the 2015/2016 Season. If you have any questions about snow conditions or riding these areas give us a call: Travis Martinek 253.722.4123.

We will be operating a Piston Bully 240D at Orr Creek and Johnson Creek, and a Tucker 2000 at Skate Creek.

You most likely will see us on the trail carrying a Snowbike on the back of our groomer, we love to ride and will keep the trails in top notch condition once the snow flies! See ya on the mountain.

Take me for a ride one night Travis or are you on day shift?

backcountrysnowbikes · Nov 9, 2015

It all depends on the conditions. I'll let you know when we start

Perfect I need a good riding buddy.

Haha, a ride along sounds pretty fun based on how you described it a couple years back!

Keep us posted on how the conditions are up there, I'm itching to make it back out there this winter!

What's the days for grooming Orr creek? And I have been to skate creek but all I found was roads. I live in Longview so if a local is in the know! Let me know! We like the lack of pressure and easy commute!

That side of the #21 road does have some steep grades on it and the Snopark itself can be a little bit of a snug turnaround for longer sled trailers...just a note of caution.
