what is the latest report? by looking at the black bear snotel there seems to be quite deep for this time of year?

Heading down there today, but have heard it is fairly tracked up but fairly deep. Try to post conditions and pictures this evening

Plan on spending the day there tomorrow.
Should have a good report for you tomorrow night.
Hope to cover both sides of the mountain.

We're snowed in currently. A good average for Black Bear is 90 to 100 inches, covers all the landmines Went up by jefferson Sunday, needs a couple more feet, but doable for sure

How much new? Must be a lot if your snowed in.

 

[wwracer]

No, no "snowed in" up here means Californians driving on U.S. 20 with snow on the road ?... leave your home at your own risk

Riding was pretty good yesterday for me.
Did not see ONE SINGLE OTHER SLED all day long.
Was down low, 7,000ft or so, had 6-12" of fresh pretty much everywhere we were playing.
I am sure there was MORE up higher!!

Looks like a good time! Last weekend was pretty decent for the amount of snow so hopefully this bit helps!

NBow we sit tight and wait for the next major weather pattern to take shape and see if we can get another good dump

We had kids with us for Christmas and the snow was super great but we had fun for our first trip and getting to know the area. Here is a YouTube video from the trip.

Current weather watch statement sounds like snow will bury IP!

* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 9 inches every 24 hours for three days, except 5 to 14 inches every 24 hours on ridge tops and passes possible for as many as three days. Winds will likely gust as high as 35 mph.

Problem is, the predictions for IP/WY are NOTORIOUSLY WRONG.
And almost always OVER predict what we actually get.
But
We are and will be getting MORE SNOW
And all new snow is good snow for us.!!!
Its snowing HARD right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
