Yea we were up on Black Ridge on Sunday. It was crystal clear and not too cold but the snow was hard packed and windblown. Great photo opportunities though. Not much powder to be found anywhere, but it felt good to get out after not riding for so long with all this cold weather we have been having. Hopefully we are getting some more snow up there now.

Dont know what's happening in the pass, but here at Nancy Lake we're getting what looks to be our best snowfall of the year... several inches so far and it's coming down fast

Snow Depth for Independence Mine has increased by 6 inches since 1400.

We tried heading up the Willow side but the road was so damn icy coupled with 45 degree temps and high winds we said F*** it and turned around.

made it all the way back up the icy road was snowing and windy so we then turned around had to make it further than the other two at least lol

We tried it also turned back and rode the Willow swamps and the Su. Conditions were not the best but the worse day riding is still better than the best day working. Today we've had a major meltdown and it's raining pretty good tonight, gonna be sad to look out the window tommorow morning..
