Dear Colleague,
Thank you for contacting the NSIDC. I apologize for the inconvenience in downloading MOD10a1 v061 .hdf files. We are actively investigating the issue and working towards a solution. In the meantime, you can access the .hdf files for h24v05 and h25v05 using Earthdata Search.
This link will take you to the collection: https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C2565093311-NSIDC_CPRD&pg[0][v]=f&pg[0][gsk]=-start_date
In the Granule Search field you can enter "MOD10A1.A2026090.h24v05.061.2026092025955.hdf" and then "MOD10A1.A2026090.h25v05.061.2026092030531.hdf" to locate the granules you need.

You can also use the Data Access Tool to access the data: https://nsidc.org/data/data-access-tool/MOD10A1/versions/61

Please let me know if you need any additional assistance using these tools.

Kindly,
Gail
