snow report
The snow over in cloverland is ok-getting to the parkinglot is no problem with little snow, pretty muddy below the tree line. The snow on wednesday was pretty good maybe 8" of fresh stuff up on top. Not a bad day if you have a secret place to ride at.....we do. HAHA .Hopefully we'll have more snow fall for the bucket run.

ride report 1-30-10
Nice day.. trails are all groomed so if you are a trail rider or needing that "family day" for riding with novice riders.. this is the weekend... For off the trail riders it is Yamaha snow.. there is some new better at 6000 feet and up.. some powder marker said 4 feet.
Craig Mountain tomorrow is another fun run
Keep in mind, mark your calendar... next weekend is the bucket run in the Blues... you will be able to start at either the Cloverland or Rose Springs parking lots... see ads in the Moneysaver this coming week...

Dayton the land of powder
Where do I start..... Well how about a great day in awesome snow with a bunch of Can't Doos as you will see in the photos to follow. The reason why Mike can't post pics right now is because the cat pictures are out for photo-shopping.
One of the answers to one of Plumuts quiz questions and photo is RMSHA solution to evening the playing field for the Skidoo XPs. Each Cat has to pull a 23 old polaris up the hill.
Here is a quiz. What does XP stand for???
Answer: Xtra Poaching required to make it up the hill.

Which caption is correct for the following photos?
A) All M8 Cats now come with a Polaris 340 fan as the back up sled and for climbing the really steep hills Or
B) In response to Ski-Doos complaint of the POWER of the M8 Cats, all M8 must now tow a Polaris 340 fan when climbing hills

or C) You should NEVER ride a 340 Polaris off the groomed trail... this was a rescue as the 340 was not coming out of there without some help in the form of a M8 (Cat towing the Polaris with rider)... nice job Rob!!

blue mountains does that mean a all the places in WA to ride or is this a riding spot
Blue Mountains are...
The Blue Mountains that are referenced in this forum are located in SE corner of Washington State and NE corner of Orgeon.. access points are (Washington) Anatone, Cloverland, Rose Springs (Pomeroy), and Bluewood Ski Resort near Dayton. There is also access in the People's Republic of Oregon.. I'm aware of Tollgate.. but I am sure there are others..

While you were chewing up our snow I was over on the Peoples Republic side of the mountain at our place there. I am expecting good snow like that at Pomeroy next weekend at your bucket run. You can't just come poach all the Dayton powder without returning the favor for us to do next Saturday. 
I'm sure you loaded your trailers up and hauled it back.
Probably see you next weekend and hopefully I can gather up more riders if you can provide the good snow!

National Weather Service (NWS) briefing, 1400 today:
1. 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, April 2, expect up a quarter inch per hour of rain in valleys.
2. NWS is forecasting heavy snowfall at elevations above 3,000 feet. By Saturday at 3 a.m., projections are for 10-12 inches of new snow accumulation in the Blues. Tollgate and Bluewood specifically named.
3. Flooding not expected unless something plugs.
4. Many people have removed studs on their vehicles, making mountain travel more hazardous.
What way to wrap up winter. Be safe.
