Oh ok I went to big springs last year but I must be thinking of a different trail! If we go up the black canyon loop road will we find some similar terrain? I think we went up and around two top last year with my group
If you ride the Black Canyon Loop, it will feed you into the Route to Two Tops.

i sure look forward to your forecast info that you post. we had a guy in houghton michigan that gave specific forecast for sledders in the midwest named john Dee and he just passed away a couple weeks ago at a fairly young age, he did a youtube vid almost everyday named snowchurch and always posted snow maps that as a meterolgist he subscribed to
While I get a load of crap from my fellow riders, I LOVE riding up in IP, and am perfectly happy to be there every week all winter long.
Lots of people hate going to IP because they assume its ALWAYS PACKED full of SPORS.
But I have found that more often than not I have the whole mountain to myself.
And those are the few times when I generally AVOID the place, the rest of the time its pretty darn accessible and seldom crowded.
Iam probably a SPOR because I don’t know what it is…what is it lol ? I’ve lived here my whole life and we rarely even think about it down there but it’s allways so pretty to go to that part of the world. The centennials too. West…not so much lol. We have a foot of fresh on top of 8 inches of sugar and stuffs sliding so yeah it’s bad. New record high of 64 degrees here yesterday and rain now. Sad kinda
SPORS
Stupid People On Rental Sleds
Most commonly identified by BRIGHT RED OPEN FACE HELMETS!

We also have some real SLAB issues to deal with.
