Black hills snow conditions--February--

[jsledder]

The older I get the more I think about how these things can happen. Last time out I had a stump push my track up and stab the suspension, talk about a sudden stop...... and I was just coasting over it and I can only imagine what would happen if a guy was full throttle through a meadow or up a hill when something like that happens.

Hope he heals up good.

i was also with when our new friend we had just met an hour before broke his leg he was telling us while we were waiting that he was only going like 35-40 mph he hit the stump with just the ski and just got bucked off and landed wrong freak thing considering the bone he broke was his femur and they say that it is the strongest bone in your body and they cant even put it in a cast friend of ours stopped to see him on the way back and sounds like he could get out tomarrow or wednesday

In general, where are you seeing the best cover--most snow? Northern, southern?

Thanks

just need to go riding with the beast from the east to find the good stuff. everyone has there secret spots and nobody will tell where they are. me shortstop and gotwoofs, and others seen a ton of stuff that hasn't been touvhed all year. just gotta know where to go, and for that matter where not to go. best snow we found all day was some place we shouldn't have been and didn't know it. guy wanted to kill us.

One step closer to getting the Hills shut down.

guy wanted to kill us.

He wasn't mad, he just wanted us out of there. He was nicer than most people would have been. I didn't pay attention to see if there was any "No Trespassing signs", I guess I assumed the leader knew we could ride there. "Don't assume anything" proves itself again. He owns the property it's his choice whether we can ride there or not, if none of the landowner's let us ride there would be no trail system.

Me and some buddies from eastern SD are coming out to the hills on Thursday and just wondering if anybody else is gonna be out. We are staying in the northern hills and it would be great to meet up with someone from the area to show us some cool spots. All of us are in our mid to late 20's and looking for a good time. shoot me a pm thanks

**** we dont ride hard enough, we prolly would break a leg if we rode harder. so damn many stumps out there. Just make sure the skis never touch the ground and you'll be good to go.

I would recommend staying out of the Moskee area. That was purchased a few years ago from Homestake. The developers are putting up quite a few gates in the area and from the rumor mill I hear, would prefer most recreationists to not be in there.
