we just got upgraded to a blizzard warning
YahOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
On a serious note:
This big storm is making everbody pretty excited... A good base and the good stuff on top of it....
A LOT OF SNOW IS COMING!!
AVALANCHE RISKS WILL BE CONSIDERABLE!
Make sure you wear your beacon and If you don't own one, BUY IT!
How bad would you feel if you couldn't find your friend/family that got buried... and died because you couldn't find him/her??
Rule for the beacon: Don't have it in your pack...
PUT IT ON, TURN IT ON..... TAKE IT OFF, TURN IT OFF.
Do a check of everyone in your group of their beacon before leaving the parking lot.
If someone in the group does not own a beacon, pressure them into buying one... your life could be on the line if he/she does not have a beacon.
Read up on the use of your beacon, buy brand new batteries for it... get good ones, your life may depend on it .
Check out this primer on beacon use:
http://www.backcountryaccess.com/english/education/documents/aviawarenessguide.pdf
If you have a really old beacon, more than 5 or 6 yrs.... consider getting a new one.
Keep your shovel & probe in your pack, not on your sled.
Read up on beacon useage... there is a lot of info out there.
Just because you own a beacon, dont assume you can use it.... do some practice drills with friends.
Also, on the trail... be aware of what is above you... even a small slide can bury you real deep on a trail at the bottom of a hill.
Get the "tracker 101" use DVD, a great idea.
Free beacon clinics on the 1st and 15th of each month at Squaw...
Also see.

AVALANCHES KILL PEOPLE.... MORE SNOWMOBILERS THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE GROUP!!
STAY SAFE OUT THERE FOLKS!

Great ride today in the northern portion of the eddys. We need a storm that doesn't have the high winds, the ridges are still very rocky. Access this spring will be very limited if we don't get some more storms. We had a group of 14 guys and one lady. Hit the Caldwell Lakes and dropped into Bull Lake. From Bull we hit Deadfall and dropped into North Fork. Climbed out of North Fork into Bear Creek and then headed back to the trucks. Lots of pics, even 2 action shots:

Nice pics Kale.. Rode Medicine all weekend. Still need a bit more snow
Rode Medicine all weekend. Still need a bit more snowRode Saturday in the southern end of the eddys. Snow was awesome and rode with a great group. Found fresh, untracked snow on the north facing bowls in middle fork and got into some areas around Picayune Lake that had powder that hadn't had a chance to set up.
Need another storm because we've got a good base going.

We got hit hard today with this storm. We got around a foot in town 3500'.
We need some sun now so we can get out and play in it.
We should be good for awhile.
A few pics:

Neighbor's house. They leave for the winter. Might be awhile before they can get in.
