NO new snow is forcast till the 16th.
Then the weather is supposed to turn and we will see snow on and off for the next week.

Was up on top of Two Top today with Turbolover and IP definitely needs more snow. You have to be extremely careful of rocks and such. It's getting a good base so far, just wish it'd dump another 4 - 5 feet.

Snow

Thanks to all of you that responded. Looks like we might get some fresh. If not oh well the kids are very excited to go. Again thanks.

 

[christopher]

go back and look at the historical graphcs I did for Island park for the last 10 years.

I think this is pretty normal for early winter here.

 

[richracer1]

Good to see snow in the future. It'll cover the rock that has some black powdercoat on it. I got lucky.

 

[jdizzle]

In headed up to island park the week between x-mas and new years hoping to get some good riding?
Am I going to have any luck?

 

[carlc]

i just talked to a friend of mine who is down there, he said they took a trail ride toward black canyon and said that grass is still showing in all the play areas along the trail.
