Any body riding in north idaho?
- Thread starter vand194
- Start date
I have been hunting southwest of Sandpoint on the Idaho/Montana border where the altitude is just over 6,000 feet and as of last Saturday there was about 8" of snow at that elevation. It snowed Saturday night and Sunday night but may be raining now. Temps really warmed up. My son hunted north of Bonners Ferry and said there was no snow where he was hunting at. Looks like it will be quite some time before we will be riding.

I live at the base of Roman Nose....I think you better get your measuring tape back out and check again.
Went to trestle creek Yesterday 12/5/12. Had to drive up almost to the 3rd switchback to unload. The snow up to the 1st plaground was icy and crap.
The arctic cats didnt like it. We proceeded to head towards moose lake.
As soon as we started down the road past 1st play area it was ridable.
There was about 2-3 foot on the roads there. Not too many areas opened up to ride in the trees yet! But it is snowin in twin lakes all day today
NOTE: THE 2ND BRIDGE TO MOOSE LAKE IS BUSTED IN HALF LAYING IN CREEK!!! ITS A LITTLE TRICKY TO RIDE THERE IS A FEW RUNOFF DITCHES TO CROSS. ALSO THERE IS A FOOT BRIDGE NOT WIDE ENOUGH FOR A SLED TO CROSS
Planning on heading again this Sat if it keeps snowing. need to check a few things out on a few more sleds

Oh, what 4 days will do for ya! Yesterday was pretty good! This is Trestle above the main trail.
Still needs more snow, but it's getting better. This is the climb right above the shortcut.

A lot of hidden treasures. We need at least a couple feet more needed before all the good areas really open up. It was probably me best first ride of the season.
Was at Trestle yesterday. Snow is good. The road to the first playgrond is good. some drifts and big woops and downed trees. Snow is good, BUT no base under it.
Most the stumps and trees are coverd up. Didnt make it to moose or anywhere too special. was foggy and was snowing so visibility was low
