Not a whole lot of snow in this area yet. I heard Swain had about 12" or so.

Not really enough right now to go around Lake Almonor. We went to LTS this weekend because there wasn't enough to go anywhere around there.

...A SERIES OF COLD WINTER STORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION NEXT WEEK...
THE FIRST STORM OF SIGNIFICANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THE AIRMASS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO PRODUCE LOW ENOUGH SNOW LEVELS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL OVER PORTIONS OF SHASTA COUNTY AND THE SIERRA NEVADA. IN ADDITION STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
A STRONGER AND WINDIER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE A COUPLE OF FEET OF NEW SNOW OVER THE SIERRA NEVADA BELOW PASS LEVELS. IN ADDITION BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WITH WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY OCCUR AT TIMES TO MAKE TRAVEL HAZARDOUS.
THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF EVEN A THIRD SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY TIME FRAME OF NEXT WEEK.
PERSONS TRAVELING INTO THE MOUNTAINS LATE THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK SHOULD REMEMBER TO CARRY CHAINS...EXTRA WARM CLOTHING...BLANKETS AND WATER

I am going up to chester to ride for a few days starting next fri morning. I am going in my cabover and prouble staying at a staging area. Do any of the rv parks stay open during the winter? I have riden my dirt bike up there many times but never my sled. Which area has the best riding The area aruond butt lake or the area on the otherside of almanor by echo lake.?
J
We made it all the way to the top of Dyer Mt in the truck on Friday, we also went through on the butt lake road, not enough snow to ride. Unless we get some more snow, the best bet is probably silver/echo lake. I will probably be up at one of the Silver lake snow parks on my 1720 triple tuning Fri/Sat. You should stop by and say hello.

Rode 50 miles tonight, not much at the park staging area 6-10", but gets pretty deep up top, 2 1/2 to 3 feet sitting on one of the bathroom roofs in Latour, pretty much covered alot of latour and Battle creek area all in all a good "road" ride, visibility was poor at times but snow was pretty fluffy, although it would be nice to be paid to be wrong 85% of the time like the local weather guys said snow levels @ 3000 to 3500 more like 5000 to 5500 but its a start none the less. I will probibly start grooming Latour Friday night so at least the road riding will be smooth!!!! Keep the cold storms comin!!!!!!!

Rode Swain today. There was about 16' when we left and the plow had just been through. Stayed on the roads and meadows. About 30' about 6000ft. Need more to get off the roads. Rode for about two hours and had to come in because it was snowing so hard we couldn't see. When we got back to the parking lot there was about 2' on new snow on the parking lot.
Check out Little Truckee and Webber lake area
Check out little truckee summit webber lake area 3 to 5 as of the 19th.
jim@psln.com but still i would stay on the trails until the stumps and rocks are asleep a while longer or they might jump infront of your machine, and you know how they like to do that.
