NORDIC SKIING

Grooming ended Monday for Mount Spokane, but trails are in excellent condition.

SNOWMOBILING

Old Mission State Park reports snow coverage at lower elevations is thin-to-gone in many locations. However, groomers have cleared paths at Round Top Cabin, Twin Creeks and Bear Skull in the St. Joe area. On the east side, Moon Pass will no longer be groomed this season.

Sledding trails on Mount Spokane will be groomed intermittently until the end of the season, depending on the weather.
