st helen's 1-13-08 sunday am
left marble sow park around 8-ish road out to lahar was not bad . lower part of lahar was like a brick w/2to3 inches of frozen crust . the higher we rode the better it was , got to the plains and played the rest of the day out . climb any where you wanted ,good traction up there . starting to look like a freeway to the plain's though .
the june lake cross over bridge is getting piled with snow and kind of hard to cross, be careful , some poor yamaha guy fell in.

We rode out of Lone Butte today. Down at snow park level everything was set up like concrete, once you get up by the berry fields it's not to bad and the road up there was groomed not to long ago. Driving up past the turnoff to Marble we talked to a forest service guy who said both Marble and Cougar were clear full at about 11:00 this morning.

also rode Helens today, parking lot was icy in the morning. i agree, the sno was better up by the plains, pretty choppy on the way up. (time to upgrade to newer sled 4 me lol)

went to helens on saturday the 19th, sno was super hard on the plains side of the mountain, but was alot softer if you go over to the west side.
also found our way up sheep canyon from where the road is washed out (going around the SouthWest side rd. 8100 to 8123) some cool stuff up sheep canyon, lots of technical riding ->google earth is awesome!!!!

HELENS feb. '08
Rode ST HELENS again today 2-26-08, pretty slushy but reeeel deep base
my first "spring riding" experiance,, sun was out all day
could have wore a hoody all day, it was great
Every thing was great EXCEPT,,, they reeeeally need to groom again cause the whoops were getting very annoying and somewhat painfull
LOVE my RMK now!!, really getting used to it, could use some fox shocks..
need more $$$
