What area are you talking about?

What im talking about is the snow....... Its good not great. Still a good time though!

Rode yesterday found some pretty decent snow, but alot of it was tracked up or getting to be pretty set up. This weekend was the weekend to go if you were gonna because im sure there isnt going to be much left after this. I have never seen so many trailers full of sleds up there in my life! In all reality they need a good dumping to make it perfect but it is a start!

X2...

yep.. i still found fresh logging roads and clearing to whip a 360. But O My the Traffic.. huge.. Plus on the way back i counted 39 trailers 4 place on the way up..

P.S. Found waist Deep in the Trees.. Is Where it was At..

Trails Ok.. If the groomers can keep up.

so how are the conditions now for powerline/ backcountry riding?

 

[sledfreak89]

Ready to rock!

I mean, they suck

I just got back from Houghton, rode South Range most of the time. Went north a little this morning and found some awesome powerlines that were untouched. Got my 153 stuck more than i expected.

Will post some pics tomorrow, just got back.

yes we were..


Also watched a little bit of the hill climb in south range.

 

[sledfreak89]

Yea, i was stuck on the side of that trail right as you pass Dans Polaris on your left and a little further up before you get to the split to go left or right between that big field thats all torn up. I was next to the trail by the power lines. Found some dirt... Lol

Funny thing you say that! The IQr that was with us blew Sunday!

how is it up there now? anyone been up there lately?

 

[827revdog]

Heard its hard and crustie. Rocks and logs showing in the woods.we we're headed there tonight but going to wyoming instead. Flatlanders can't breath at 10000 ft

Here now. Revdog heard correct.

Trails are junk. Off trail there is 4-6" of "powder' but then there is a 4-6" hard crust. Under that is a good 1-2' of snow, but breaking that crust is difficult.

if you plan to ride anytime soon, you'll need to trailer where you plan to go off trail.

Bessemer/Wakefield area.
