Island Park Snow Conditions for 22-23 season.

[IdahoSledder#09062006]

Looks like we have picked up 4" so far today, and lots more coming!
Its SOOOOO NICE to see this forcast holding together.
And as always, this is for the VALLEY, not the mountains where ride.
Almost always get MORE up top...

Black Bear in MT is the sensor to keep your eye on.
Thats the one I have found gives me the best overall sense of what I will find up high.

Right now there is a pretty solid base formed up, but we need the winter snow to start building up on it.

the 10 day forecast is still looking good, and these projections are for the VALLEY FLOOR, not the high mountains.
We always get more up at 8,000ft.

I have been watching Black Bear like a hawk lol! Do you actually ride out in that area at all or just use it as a reference?
