It must have either set up pretty good or you didn't find sweet spots because last weekend I got my 2008 M8 stuck a few times and thought it was some of the best snow I have seen for the 7 years I have lived in Rapid!

The snow is set pretty good. I mean how could it not be with above freezing temps and 30mph winds. Just think of it this way, more a base to put fresh snow on top of! :face-icon-small-hap
just got back from there, my opinion is the snow is set up hard and off trail is tracked up bad. the trails were good if you like doing that
Talked to a couple that rode out of Deadwood today and did not think it was that bad. Just a little gravelly. However with today's temp and warm winds I cant imagine it is very good. 3-5 inches of snow predicted for tomorrow.

Agreed, trails were good, but I also found excellent off trail snow today. Just have to go farther off the trail. Explore a little and you will find the goods.

Hi dewayne
We are coming out and riding Wed - Sat. If you have time you are welcome to ride with us. We are a group of 6 from 28 to 65 years young. We like riding the big meadows down by moon or up by rifle pit. Fire trails are also fun. :face-icon-small-hap

Anyone have a trail map that is laid out over aerial photo? Or is there forestry maps available.

Maps, I just down loaded back country navigator pro 9.99$, You have to down load the a topo map or what ever kind of map you want. You highlight the area you are going to travel and down load that portion of map. It actually worked really well. Oh yah smart phone app, I have a s4 samsung.

Short video from the 24 and 25. Need about 2 to 3 more ft to be real good. First time I have ridden in the BH where you could see the shrubs next to the trails.

Ride plans???
Just decided to buzz out from ABr. Going to ride with the fam on Sat and Sun. Staying in spearfish, was wondering if unloading at Roughlock and riding rifle pit and wagon canyon was good or if it made sense to trailer to Trailshead and ride south.
Duane if you see a group of Polaris pulling a snowcoach with red ski's stop by and say hi.
Thanks for all the Info.

I do not think you can go wrong riding either location.
We received 2-3 inches of snow today with wind of course. Forecast is calling for chances of snow next week Wed thru Sat night straight. Had 3 broken arms the last 4 days from snowmobile accidents. First was a rental that hit a parked car in the Spearfish Canyon parking lot. The second was a guy from Brazil who did not know enough to let off the throttle when climbing a steep hill on the power line launched the sled 35 feet into a tree and was vaulted off the snowmobile another 40 feet. The third was a rental being rode 2up dropped a ski off the trail and was sucked into a tree.

thanks, enjoyed the Monday morning humor

Always try to teach the kids not to laugh at someones misfortune, but the thought of the flying Brasilian got me smiling. I wonder if he had visions of X-games big air and gave 'er a rip.
I am sure it would be a trip he would never forget if it were not for the concussion that erased that memory. Luckily the gopro he was wearing will help fill that gap. It was one of those trips where the Brazilian took the owner of the 2011 RMK Pro to see the beaches of Rio and in return was invited to the States to go snowmobiling. I wonder who got the better deal?
Hey outlaw,
If you go to the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks website on your smartphone they have an app that has all the state trail maps on it. Its pretty slick

Is that State map deal still run on an internet based program where you need good service for that to work?
Has anyone found a way to overlay the trail system map on the backcountry nav map and use that?
