BOISE, Idaho — Winter riders looking to hit the snow at Pilot Peak and Mores Creek Summit in Boise County should avoid the area due to poor snow conditions and downed trees.

Boise County Grooming 8A, a group that maintains snowmobile trails and winter parking lots, said it was astonished by how many trees had fallen in the area Thursday.

“These are not little ones either,” officials said on social media. “There is hundreds and hundreds of trees down all over, I have never seen anything like it. There is no way to cut them all, we need multiple feet of snow to cover a lot of them.”

Boise County officials said even if it gets good snowfall, the area will be challenging to groom, as “[they] are going to need a lot of snow to be able to groom over and around this huge mess.”

“In the 39 years of riding Mores Creek area I have never seen anything close to what we seen today,” Boise County Grooming 8A said.

The Boise County Sheriff’s Office said riders should avoid the area for safety concerns due to a 3-foot snow base. Mores Creek Summit is recommended for expert riders, and the approximate Thursday’s snow base is 0 feet.  LINK TO STORY
