We probably still have some left on the trailer
Friday, was slow going. Dont even bother on O, or the northeast side. Snow was just getting "ok" west from the coaster. Didnt ride the north slope west of the coaster much. It had decent snow, but LOTS of surprises. Made our way towards quealy where it was getting fun, but still lots of surprises. North/west/nw of "U&CE" "N&NO" was definitely the best snow.
Sat morning that same area had up to 3' fresh. Still lots of surprises in the meadows, but the trees were filling in nicely. We messed around off of 200/205 area most all day. Didnt get crazy by any means, but still had a blast!
Prob best access from the west, but can still easily get to it off of 130 from the east.
Looked like the range was gettin hit good again this morning when we left!
So christmas time should be good?
They haven't hooked up the satellite or internet yet, should be soon though.
YEP!

Couldn't find any snow on 12/15/12
These pics are from the area South of Quelly Warming Hut. **** house also had several feet of fresh pow which proved to be a challenge. Great day of riding especially since we didn't hit any land mines. New 2013 Pro got some break in miles.
