Had a fun week. Rode green canyon Thursday, island park Friday and Pomerelle Saturday. Trails are a little rough in island park. One of the guys we rode with in island park just turned 91. We went up the black canyon loop and rode the park line. We had to stay on pretty mellow terrain with a 91 year old. It is amazing that he can take the pounding of the trails like that. It was really hard not to go and ride black canyon but I can't go in there by myself.
Honestly, thats just AWESOME to hear.

Ended up making a very long loop around IP and West yesterday with 4 guys from Michigan.
Gave me a very good chance to look at the snow all around.

in general, the last winter storm dropped.
3" down low
3-6" up high on all exposed areas
6-9" in protected areas.

That said, we often found a foot or more of soft fresh snow in the trees in many different places.
Best case was about 18" in the most wind protected zones.

Next new snow is due around the 22nd and does not look to be a major dump yet (but thats a long ways out for a weather forecast)
