I hope the report is correct.

 

[DragonFreak]

Just in time hope it goes well so we can get some snow on the ground

It also looks like a good start to the snow pack. Unlike the last few years where we got dumped on relativly early and then it stopped allowing the snow to freeze making a very unstable base layer.

Now all I need is my sled back from OVS and it's on.....

Snow Pack

Tony Grove 19"
Monte 15"
Farmington Peak 18"

Not to bad for this early.

Nice!!!
Bring it on.
We rode in an undisclosed area yesterday with 30"-42" and we kind of forgot it was mid-November and not Jan. something. Rode like the rocks and stumps were buried. That is until I found that VW size rock hiding.
No damage tho, luckily. Good thing I ride like a handicapped Ninja

FYI the top of that snow stick is 8 feet tall with each line at 1 foot incriments so as you can see there is still not much up there, less than 1 foot of snow. Trust me you dont want to get off the roads up there yet.

 

[TGitt]

It better fricken dump hard!! I'm starting to get impatient!!

 

[justinkredible56]

Gonna go check out Tony's Grove today. They have 11" more inches since the last time I was up there. Probably just from the wind blowing the snow to the measuring device though...I guess I'll find out!

This is true, but it is still WHITE!!!! And it is still before Thanksgiving which equals GOOD base and not crap like we have had for the last 2 years.

We may actually have a small shot and not loosing anyone in a slide this year if peeps pay attention.

Easy bro or I won't stop and help dig your a$$ out!
Tony's grove has easily a foot on top of what I was riding on last week! It was sweet. I found 2 vehicles that were abondoned up there because the guys got stuck. Somebody decided it was a good idea to go up there in a Subaru... I even got my truck stuck twice where I had to bust out the shovel!
