Butte Meadows/ Jonesville
- Thread starter hillslider
- Start date
I was up there Sunday thru Tuesday - snowed most of the time. There is about a foot of new at Butte Meadows and a couple of feet at the top. Nobody at the snopark yesterday(except a couple of guys in a Jeep doing donuts in the parking lot). The groomer went out at noon. It was snowing again when I left at 2:30.
I was just going to post here for a snow report and it looks like I got it! Whats that, about 4-5 feet at the parking lot on the bathrooms? Looks great should be fun for the PR this saturday if the weather works out for us!
BTW if you guys see either a 1200 polaris tripple or a green polished vanamburg turbo cat come introduce yourselves!

I think your assesment is about right. The pictures of the summit (the locale)look to be in the 6-7 range, Should be an "adequate" amount for the poker run. Enjoy! We'll see you up the hill.
Once again, see the phone number in the above post if you have ?????????????

Just got home from Chester, thanks Chadd 
. 18 degrees when I left but road are in good shape. Talked to Bill at the Outpost tonight and the County has done a great job of clearing the roads. Everyone in "town" (Butte Meadows) is expecting a good turnout so lets not disappoint.
If your on the Almanor side, roll to Fanani and you can join the Poker Run there. Holler back and lets get a roll call!
madmin is in first
G'night

Mooseknuckle - Got home and found a message from Cece regarding the Poker Run - postponed until Feb 9? Too much snow?

Mike is right, I got a call from Tim this morning and have just got back to the house.
The Butte Meadows Hillsliders Poker Run has been POSTPONED!!!!
We are working on a one week postponement, CeCe thought that the 9th would be good, but that is the Buck's Lake Poker run and we're trying not to step on any toes.
If you all are disappointed, well me to, but in the interest of safety of folks coming up the hill in a storm - it was decided to postpone. We are trying to have a good run and many of you will rock the mountain in the face of a whiteout blizzard, but there are many that have smaller kids and more that are shall we say a more "fair weather" riders. Add to that with a large turnout we are parked just about everywhere snow removal equipment needs to travel.
Don't despire, I know that a change doesn't work for all of you, and for that I sorry, but we must keep the safety of folks the paramount concern at an organized club event. Would you play golf in a lightening storm? I know - it depends on the tee prizes
I will keep everyone as up to date as possible. If you all could spread the word, that would be a great help. Look at it this way, with another week to collect raffle prizes we can have an even bigger raffle, eh?
Once again, get a hold of me if you have any questions 530-624-3526 and I'll post here as soon as I know more.

BTW - It was beeeeeeautiful coming home from Chester last night. The moon is or is almost full.
I'm going to shoot for a riding day next week - should be great after what's coming!

I'm thinking about sneaking up there on Saturday afternoon after work and possibly riding sunday.
Got a report from Butte Meadows this morning - about two feet of new snow from the last storm, currently raining on it!
I was at the snow park on Saturday working on the groomer. Got a report of about 5 feet powder at manzanida hill. The big boys made it to snag lake turnoff and turned a round.

I'll vouch for the turn around at snag triangle. Although we had a begining rider with us, I know from a boner mover I made that to continue on would have been work. Couple that with lightly snowing to windy whiteout and flat light, I just figured I'd enjoy the tobagin run.
One of Withrow's mechanics (sorry my man, for the life of me I can't remember your name) passed us as we were on the way out and we never saw them until I saw the pick up pass through Butte Meadows. They might have a better report.
As far as Butte Meadows, Rain Rain Rain with occasional spit of sleet. I'd say a rained down two feet in Butte Meadows, an honest four to five at the parking lot in Jonesville and more on top. When we left last night it was flat getting with it on little summit so that is about half way between BM an Jones in elevation.

Good News,
Butte Meadows Hillsliders are, I say, are having a Poker Run. It will be March 8th. Thats a ways off but considering the chance for poor weather (according to forecasters) this weekend and the fact that other folks are having poker runs in the following weeks and the CNSA convention - it was decided to make it in March. That way we're not stepping on toes and we have a better chance for folks to help and make it up the mountain to participate.
Honestly, if we get hosed on this date, your all just gonna have to bet on when my wife is going to have our baby and I'll split the proceeds between the winner and the mini mooseknuckle college fund!
We can also have a parlay for how many times she calls me a no good SOB for impregnating her with my demon seed. Of course this'll be a time sensitive bet (like roulette - all bets in!)
We've got a while but as always, you are welcome to participate, welcome to join or welcome to donate. Mark the date and we'll talk soon.
