I have never rode the Black Hills and would like to take my wife and girls after Xmas . My wife and I ride Togwotee/ Dubois/ Snowy's/etc but would like something easier to break in our girls 11 & 14. Who has riden this area and would give me some advice on lodging and expectations. My wife and I both ride Summits and my girls have new MXZ sports with the 600 ACE. My guess is since we have the girls we would spend most of our time on the trails and easy meadows. What are the snow conditions like currently? What's the elevation? Do people get drunk and ride like they do in the Midwest. Thanks in advance for you help. Trevor.
