In spite of my recent Mis-Adventure last Saturday on Black Canyon Trail in Island Park, I just want to say that the snow is SPECTACULAR.

The Snow Depth at Black Bear is now at the season's highest at 93 inches!

The season has ROARED back to life.

If you have the chance, get up there and enjoy it.

I am heading back up on Friday and Saturday to get all the riding in I can.

All the forecasts are calling for MID 40s from here out with warm nights.
So this snow won't last long.

Be more careful than I was, but have fun as well!!

Tomorrow could be an exceptionally good day as well .
