Thanks for that depressing Utah news.

I've ridden 15 days so far this year and not once at home in Utah.

Utah just can't catch a break this year. Even the storms that do come in put more snow in the valley than in the mountains. Pretty lame this year. 13 of 17 days have been outside of Utah. And the days in Utah pretty much sucked.

I just rode my first California snow ride (3 feet) Saturday the 3rd here in the Sequoias. Sledder living on the trail said best snow of the year and his first ride.

Oh boy ... was over 40 days of CALI riding last season with a 10 foot base for over 3 months.

This year ... ONE ride no base

And the state wont release OHV/OSV $$$$$ because the season ends the 31st ! so no tree cutting / grooming for my trail network
