Has anyone been up there in the last few days? is there anyplace to even get off the trailer to put on a few break in miles? Thought about Big Spring or Warm River, but as nice as its been here I can't imagine there is snow anywhere.

OK, Snow report for Island Park and West Yellowstone, Friday November 25.
2-3 inches at the Big Springs warming hut parking lot
Rocks showing..
6 inches at the woodpile on the Black Canyon Loop.
LAND MINES EVERYWHERE OFF TRAIL!!
6-9 inches of soft powder with NO BASE on the trail on top of Black Canyon.
9-12 inches of SOFT POWDER with NO BASE at the summit of Mt. Two Tops. Even exercising GREAT CARE I nailed a couple rocks on what I thought was smooth ground. But as you can see still had a blast. Rolling the sled over on one ski and you could feel the gravel...
The mountain was TRACKLESS.
No one was up there or anywhere else to be seen.
We came across perhaps 6 sleds all day long.

Why are you wearing a YAMAHA jacket and riding a ski doo? 
Seriously, Thanks for posting some pics 
. The snow may not be great but it gets the blood pumping. My first ride of the season happens in about 14 hours in Washington

I am not overly worried.Seriously, Thanks for posting some pics
This WILL settle in and become our base.
Ad another 1-2 feet on top of it and its GAME ONE for the season!
My comment wasn't meant to be negative if it came off that way. It's early season here in Oregon. last year I don't think I rode until January. I'm going in the morning and I'm sure the snow is going to be about what you have. it's going to be a real careful day
Did you keep the viper for deep snow days?
SHHH sore subject,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,think hes buying a boat he will use the viper for a anchor .
I am down -58lbs from my max weight!
And THANK YOU for noticing.
Coming from someone who lost 40lbs a few years ago, it's a real game changer when it comes to sledding. Congrats!
So long as we get some real snow, I am looking forward to THE BEST SEASON of riding in my life. I am in the BEST SHAPE by far and away and with the new sleds, I am able to do far more than every before!
And you didn't have to spend any money to make your sled better or lighter. Here's to your health!
Sure do hope so!
