Trailshead has a large lot and if you talk to them (Julie) that can be arranged.

Just watched the webcam for trailshead and it is being plowed right now.Are any of the lots plowed open? Wondering if if there's enough snow at the Custer Peak or Dumont Lot or if it's better to park at Trailshead.
A big thank you to all who work behind the scenes who maintain the best trail system out there!Checked with the groomer and Dumont is plowed. I do not know about Custer Peak. Plenty of snow if you go out of Lead, Deadwood, Trailshead, Dumont or Spearfish Canyon. Groomers are out and they are struggling. Using one cat without drag followed by cat with drag and they are still getting stuck. One cat came in with a torn track so I helped replace it. 3-5 feet of snow most places in the North half of the system but has not settled yet.
Guess you shouldn't be snowblowing aloneI know this sounds crazy but be careful on the steeper slopes that would look prime to slide. I was almost done opening up my driveway in Spearfish Canyon when the whole East side slid.
Might need to strap up with my pack & beacon next time ??View attachment 397276
If I would have known you were out I would have came out and helped youTrails are finally getting groomed and should be in good shape by the Christmas holidays especially with the cold weather this week. NWS is showing a high on Thursday of 22 below, low of 33 below. Saturday I set out to open gates on the trail on 3 North of Cement Ridge. For the first time in 30 years I could not get to where I needed to go due to too much snow. It took 2hrs to travel 4.5 miles. I had used every piece of equipment I carried to get me out of my numerous stucks including shovel, ropes, ratchet pulley, folding saw, snobunje and snowshoes. Snow on the trail varied from 4-8 feet deep. The snow in the Rec Springs area has settled to 2 feet. Area around Trailshead and Buckhorn has settled to 1.5-2 feet. North towards Spearfish Canyon and Cement Ridge the snow is still 3-4 feet plus.
If you need some help let me knowI would have welcomed the company
