Spent 4 days down in Arrowhead riding the Alpine. It was really good snow, better than I've seen up there in years. Found some incredible tree/boondocking riding, built a jump, and took the ladies out. Great way to ring in the new year. 2-4 foot snowpack depending on altitude. Most of the north facing trees stuff is PRIME with 4-6 feet of good snow and a nice base.

If your looking for a lodge that you can ride from, check out the Black Mesa Lodge. It's about 40 miles west of Gunnsion and has great snow and is a boondockers paradise. I would recommend this over Arrowhead lodge as the snow is much better and the trail system is a lot better as well.
