I dont think there's an acre up here that hasn't had the crap stomped out of it

Thanks for the info guys. Keep us posted on these next few storms. I'll be there from the 19th-28th with a good sized crew.

So, what did yesterday bring us?

Looking at radar while it was snowing yesterday it didn't look like much of anything fell north of St Anthony.

Well that’s just sad

NADA thing... maybe a tenth of an inch

It was awful thin this weekend. We were able to spend one day boondocking in some decent snow towards the very top of Bishop Mtn. There were very few riders out, I saw almost as many Fat Bikes for the race as I did sleds.

Wow, Bishop Mtn... gutsy call. Been wanting to go up there, but the eastern facing slopes, at least, looks like dirt from the road...

We went to Black's. Snow is good. Light was a little flat, but it was a good day.

IP sure looked good as we drive through it yesterday on the way to Cooke City for the Forum Ride

 

[wwracer]

With the trip to Cooke City, and other projects, I haven't been as diligent in keeping up with this thread as i had hoped.
We picked up about 16" of snow last week. Real heavy stuff, the kind that'll plug up a snowblower real quick. Rode about 50 miles on each side of the HWY, did Sawtelle/Jefferson on Sunday, and Black Canyon on Monday. Spring like riding conditions, both sides were pretty tracked up already, but we always manage to have a good time and get in a couple of good stucks...
The genius' at NWS are calling for some decent snow toward the end of the week... we'll see

Thanks for updates. We leave MN tonight for ip. Think snow!

Oh and p.s. SKOL!

Picked up about 10" at the parking lots Thursday night and Friday. Snow started out wet N heavy, changed to a light powder overnight. A little bit of wind, yesterday, but not too bad, probably dont need to tell anyone about the Avy danger up high. Another foot or so and we'll be back to somewhat normal up here, forecast looks promising for the upcoming week...
