Were getting ready for our first winter trip up to The Big Springs area ( old fransin mill site). 10 years strong. Were lookin at being there from the 30th to the 5th (of Jan). Im hoping for a couple of good storms... Hopefully you Local IP riders will keep us in the loop and let us know how its going in Paradise.

The snow is dumping!
You still have to be careful on some of the south facing slopes! Where the wind has hit some of those faces, the sharp and lumpy's are lurking! Not alot of base to it yet, but it makes for an awesome SUPER POW DAY!

Going sat would like to find 2 or 3 to ride with call 5893137 idaho falls there is two of us t this time riding sawtell / jeferson.
Be careful when ya head up that way. There has been lots of new snow, almost 3 ft down low, so its going to be pretty dangerous up high. Be prepared and safe and have a good time!
Just talked with my buddy who has a cabin in the Shotgun West area (approx 12 miles west of Hwy 20 on Yale-Kilgore) and they have received over 40" of new snow in the last 36 hours. Bottomless, no base, pretty hard to play in, very light snow. They had a hard time in meadows and couldn't make it up any hills at all (boondocking), all three are good, experienced riders.

I know the area well. I'm going up next week for about 4 days, Max Inn area cabin. Thanks for the update. I'll do the same once I get back.
I will be there from the 29th-2nd. This looks like a great way to bring in the New Year.
Woke up this morning with about another inch of new fluff, and its snowing pretty good as I type!!

Spent the last 5 days at the cabin on Henry's. Didn't get to do much riding other than the hills around us (too many little kids, and family things), powder is crazy deep, definately no base, I would say probably 4 feet +, snowing pretty heavy when we left at noon today, wind was picking up pretty strong. Definately worth a trip from whereever you may be, be careful up in Jeff./Sawtelle though, all this new snow on top of a little crusty=big time avy danger.
can't wait i will be there with a group of ten on the 12th. Sounds like it should be sweet.
Rode up willow creek yesterday, EVERYTHING was sliding, very scary. STAY OUT... Avalanche danger is extremely high right now.
