Ok I went out for about 3 hours this morning BUT I dont have pics or much to report on. My new brother-in-law was in town and he wanted to ride but had never seen a snowmobile before. We had a blast but the riding was kept very basic. I can say that it was snowing lightly all day and still is. There was powder to be had but in the few simple areas we went to it was mostly tracked up which should be expected. As I said though its snowing so lets hope for the best.

How's it been? That last comment left me in great anticipation!
I rode Cooke over the weekend, it was snowing hard on Sunday afternoon when we left. The riding was great and I imagine after Sunday it will be even better.

Thanks for the reports. Pics or anything, please post them up. I love help here
. I'm sorry guys for not getting much in the last week. I have been kind of bogged down with problems here and a couple of trips to town. I should be able to start getting out soon though.

Its been snowing and blowing all night. Winds have been pretty heavy. You can see the snotel picked up some but with the heavy winds Im sure its more than that. There will be loading obviously. I am sorry for not getting out lately for everyone, things just take priority (I know really wtf?!?!?)
Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas, and lets all cross our fingers and pray for a safe holiday snowmobile season!

Today was all about plowing snow for me. Guests that went riding said that today was BETTER by far than the video we shot yesterday (which I thought was awesome snow). It was about about 5 degrees for most of the day but it was much clearer than the last several days. We did pick up a little bit of new today as well.

We have a 20% chance of snow now through Friday with out temps warming back up to the 20s, which is nice! We definitely got some snow out of the "wind storm", how much though is very hard to tell since it doesn't accumulate. I will definitely get some chances to start going out hopefully in the next day or two.
Yesterday a rider near Cooke City reported an avalanche near Lulu Pass. This slide likely occurred due to recent wind loading. Today, wind loaded slopes steeper than 35 degrees have a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger. Less steep slopes that have not received wind loading have a MODERATE avalanche danger.

I went out today riding and got some pics hope to get them up shortly. I only got two pictures of scenery shots and then battery died on me. Snow was great, skies were clear in the morning but light was flat all afternoon. Flat light just makes a guy a little nervous when by himself

its really good out there right now. rode all weekend and fresh snow the whole time, just lots of flat light. sunday AM in the sun and fresh was awsome. no pictures, to cold most of the time to want to get the camera out.
had a great time and as always, the ALPINE ROCKS.
