Last year was able to ride out of Gold creek the first weekend of December. Looking doubtful this year. 
2018-2019 Riding season kick off
- Thread starter Ktm Fanatic
- Start date
Dropped my sled off at the shop today to get some work done, looking like a bit of snow around the 5500-6k come middle of next week, be nice to get a road ride locally soon but I usually don’t until mid/late December
Historically riding by last week of November
Historically I've done some road raging every season for the past couple 10 years at GC by the last week of November. Doesn't look good for this year. I'm planning on taking the dirt bike and drone up to GC on Sunday to scout around, see if there's a snowline higher up. If I get some good shots I'll post video early next week.
This was November 26, 2016/17 Season:

not to much to get excited about yet, last season was real surprised with early snow and made 1st ride on 11/6/17 but traditionally we all went up on 1st sat after thanksgiving to greenwater area and rode the roads, still has to dump 23 3/4 in before I am doing a road ride.

went up today to horse camp out of greenwater about 1030 11/23/18 took car as I wanted to ck out the 4x4 capability of machine, saw 1st sled tracks of season today about 8-10 in at area and was still snowing just like snowqualmi pass . saw 1 more truck heading up there with 2 sleds but lots of jeeps running roads today.
I went for a ski tour today to work off some of the turkey from Thursday. I should have taken the sled, I would have fit in with the other dozen sleds that were out for a road ride today.
The force is telling me parts got bent today

Rode the SxS up to Quartz Mtn yesterday...around 6k elevation. About a foot of powder..no base at all and lots of rocks and stumps poking out. Definitely NOT rideable...
