GOLD CREEK Lower Blackfoot

[CATSLEDMAN1]

season is on, about 4-5 ft once you get up to Shoo FlyMeadows, pretty good coverage, ok to ride Mineral Mtn road from the main
gold creek road. No many folks out, but riding up high pretty good.

More snow, more than necessary for good riding, lots of level ground riding. This week of warm weather should set up and make a denser riding base, all good and right on average for the area.

Main road is plowed past the houses and you can drive all the way up Gold Creek to Gold Creek meadows and they left a plowed parking lot there. Crusty snow down low with 2" of new fuzz, you could ride from the hiway with scratchers no problem, some rigs parked just off the pavement.

cold and sunny weekend. warmer up high but never close to freezing or wet snow. Couldn't see tracks from the week before in most spots, just a faint line in the snow. Great riding and good coverage.

Dec 31 Main road is plowed for logging in upper Gold creek drainage, still lots of snow on the road to run a sled. 3 days of riding in the Mineral Mtn area, great cover for this time of year, maybe 4 ft plus when up on Mineral Mtn Ridge /ShooFly meadow, 513 trail. all good. No body around, just us few bikers.
Plowed to park big trailers at HIway 200 or at the gravel pit, berond that I don't know.

Road is plowed up about 8 miles to Gold Creek Meadows and there is a fairly large parking lot plowed so as of last Sunday no problem with a 4 place trailer up to that area. Need more snow, but took a tour through the West fork, I would say about average for this time of year. More snow up high in the mineral Lookout area.

SNOW just getting better, 12" of new last week end when we only got a skiff in Missoula, road still plowed up 8 miles and rumors of some groomer work done over towards the Seely Clubs warming hut near the Bowles Meadow area
