Know Your Trails with Great Falls Snowmobile Club Tracker

We've only had a small taste of snow for the upcoming 2025/2026 winter season in Montana.  It won't be long before the mountains will be white along with our knuckles from having to drive on crappy roads to work and home.

It also means that snow loving people are already looking ahead for the dumping of snow.  Ski, board and machine are all being prepped for winter fun(?) and the Great Falls Snowmobile Club is getting ahead of things already with a cool way to check where you should be taking your sled on the mountain.

The Great Falls Snowmobile Club tracks its beginning back to the early 1970's and teams with the Meager County Snowmobilers, King's Hill Grooming Association, and the US Forest Service and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks to maintain over 300 miles of groomed and some ungroomed trails.

The group has announced that the trails will be open for recreational use beginning on December 1, 2025.  As of now access is blocked to trails until opening day.  Also opening that day will be the safety shelter.  Grooming of trails will be based on snow amounts during the first month.

As grooming begins for the 2025/2026 season, the schedule will remain the same on the trails.  According to their website, "Monday through Thursday nights and again Saturday night. We groom the cross-country trails Thursday evenings.  For the first little while our schedule is based on usage. "

The club also offers anyone, member or not, the ability to view where the groomer has already been across the 300 miles of trails.  The Trek Tracker allows users to see where the groomer is currently and when the trails were last given attention.  You can find out more at the GFSC website here.
