went out to summit the 21st visibility looked bad towards the tit so we road just past the lodge on the left. enough snow to keep cool and cruse around but still not enough to play, no broken sleds but we still hit the tundra knobs under the snow!!! going out again Dec.5th hope to get in the hills ill try to remember to post up what's their. if any body is heading out anywhere else post where and what the snows like... o-yea buddy just went to valdez the 28th and said their was only about 3ft or so through the pass BUT their expecting 100in in the next 10 days

sooo summit had rain last week but a bit of snow on top. parked at the monument headed behind the tit. snow in the valley was about 30in still about 12-16in of willow tips still sticking out the snow. getting to the tit i would advise staying on the packed path still, the snow was just thick enough to cover a lot of the boulders but not bury them. behind the tit their was about 30-36 in of fresh on what i am guessing was the crust from the rain last week (it was the first time this year i got out their) a few big rocks still sticking out and some of the little rollers/little hills were blown thin just on the tops, but the riding/snow was good enough to have a blast! 9 sleds in our group went in and 9 came out! a few in the group tried to get off the path before the tit and tacked a rock got pitched and got back on the path. so its worth going just use some common sense.

Went to Petersville and Turnagain last week. The swamps in pville could use some more snow and were a little crusty, but once you got to the dutch hills the snow was good powder/packed powder.

Turnagain had a thick crust layer from rain with 2" of fresh on top. Not worth the trip until the next storm.

hit cantwell for the first time this year, parked at hurricane gulch (Fairbanks side) kept low in the swamps and trees the snow was fair but we still need a few feet. it was hard picking through the willows as they were 3 ft high in most spots but found some spots that hade 4ft+ or so gently blown in and fun. 6 went in and 6 came out but still sketchy in a lot of spots so keep an eye out if you go.

summit is ripe 1 mile trail is good enough to boondock and behind the tit its full. still some willow tips poking out when your in the trees but playable with soft landings that plume snow out.

Pville is looking real good for late March. The new snow has not started to get wet yet from temps. Spring riding with dry snow and a decent amount of it.
