Which area did you ride, and where did you park?
Got back a couple hours ago and it was awesome!!! We rode out of the mores creek summit lot towards pilots peak. The trail is getting rough but that is normal up there. Snow was 4 to 6 feet with good base. We were in 2 to 3 feet of powder. sometimes more. The snow was bonding good and didn't see any slides where we were. Didn't go all the way to the peak just played on the hills and meadows to the south. Watch the road up. It was icy.
Thinking of riding tommorow. I will send in photos.
just thought i would add a little tid bit here about the idaho city area, as the boise basin trailbreakers club is now inactive the boise snowmobile club voted to adopt the area and has been actively helping out with trail maintenance and repair of the groomer up there. so anyone who rides up there may want to participate in our fun run that will be on january 26 at the granite creek parking area. 1st place is $500.00 and pays down to 10th place. i will post more as we get closer to the date.

Rode today from the Mores Creek parking lot. Trail was normal. 4 corners was great for the 2 short tracks we had with us. Good snow but visibility wasn't the greatest with fog and gusts of wind blowing snow.
Overall a good day!

Pilot Peak is Groomed
Groomers are a high maintenance item. MANY man hours were put into that groomer last Summer. Hours were donated FREE by Boise Snowmobile Club members. On Tuesday I heard it was down again. Yes Dorothy, there is a groomer! I really date myself when I refer to Dorothy.

wade you are correct on both accounts, our web guy is busy and is slow in keeping the sight up to date, we are working to fix that. and the groomer had cracked a hydraulic pump that they had to replace. it took a great effort by our groomer coordinator to find the pump and have it flown in and the operators to have the machine up and operating for the fun run. we were in idaho city friday night and was extremely pleased to see the machine leave idaho city about 7 pm, they groomed the creek trail ,our fun run trail and returned throught granite creek at about 1:30 am and continued back down bear run. it was a great effort and the fun run was a success thanks to everyone that participated and helped out.
