Riding-Irwin area will the main riding area, other areas are close by (pm if you want info). The Irwin area trails are maintained by the SnoTrackers (http://www.snotrackers.com/ has some good info). Elevation ranges from 8-11,000 feet I believe. Avalanche gear is a good idea if you are going to be doing any climbing. Great boondocking and jumping to be found. Temps can be cold in the mornings (don't have summer blend in your diesels).
Again, I'll update as more info is available. Hope for lots of snow, and I can't wait.
