Here are a few pics from Thursday and Friday. The snow was setting up fast but we where able to find some good snow and some fun hills. Great base, best I have seen this early in the year.

Also fiberglass hill slid sometime Friday. Hope everyone was ok.

Be careful out there guys/gals. We just got back and the snow pack is perfect for slides. Anywhere from 12-36 inches of hard dense snow on top of a pretty good layer of sugars. We seen avys all over. Fiberglass slid friday afternoon. There were a couple that slid up on trail LH. Seen a couple around hunt mountain area. Seen a few south west of lodges. Even on the small hills if you stop, the snow will almost instantly make a pretty good "whomp".

As far as snow it is very set up. They could definately use more. Overall I was very dissapointed in the snow compared to what everyone was reporting.

WYsteph,

do you have a camper on the very end of the campground at bear? If so, i think mine is a few spots done.

would love to ride with you guys some weekday.

 

[Skidoox600]

Went and rode saturday up behind deer haven. Rode some areas new to me and found some cool places to go. There is quite a bit of snow but last weeks warm temps and the wind made the snow pretty hard. Hopefully it snows this week we could sure use some fluff on top!

 

[WYsteph]

Yeah it's back in the corner by the sled shack, think it is E5 or something like that. Not sure when we are planning to go again. Have to fix some little stuff on my sled.

Rode Friday and Saturday west and south of Owens. Changed our riding style a bit for the Spring like conditions but had a blast! Still found decent snow in the trees. Nice base setting up out there.

 

[piped99]

Yeah i thought i saw your truck and sled deck one weekend!

Mine is like E10 or something right in the front of that row! with the christmas lights.

Let me know if you wanna ride sometime!

We went up sunday and found some damn good riding everyone got there sare of getting stuck. Just got to get away from everyone else has been. We rode the northside bighorns up around High country, more snow would be better but was good.
