I was up at the ski park earlier and the snow up there was just awesome, hopefully the weather will be clear enough tomorrow to go riding. The ski park is measuring like 230 inches at the top and they had like 2 feet of that yesterday, and its staying cold so its just dry as can be.
The Winter Storm Warning is now in effect until 10 am PST Sunday
above 2500 feet.
Snow will increase over the region today as another potent winter
storm reaches the region. Total amounts of 6 to 12 inches are
expected between 2000 feet and 4000 feet with 1 to 2 feet above
4000 feet from this morning through early Sunday morning. The
period of heaviest snow will be between 4 PM and midnight tonight.
Gusty westerly winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts as high as 50 mph
will likely create very poor visibility and areas of blowing and
drifting snow. The stronger winds will be above 5000 feet and
around Mount Shasta near Weed.
A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow...
sleet... and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also
possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.

Cough, cough.... Hey Kale I think we need to come down with something so we can do a weekday ride when the weather is better. I have some where around 300 hrs. of sick time saved up..
so we can do a weekday ride when the weather is better. I have some where around 300 hrs. of sick time saved up..just got off of work at the ski park, and it is dumping!!! we got almost a foot since 8 in the morning. its not blowing to bad up there, but it sure is blowing here in weed.
Just got back....should have taken a snorkel.
Deer Mtn is a very good area to ride. The good thing about Deer Mtn. is the un-groomed road system and groomed trails lead you to most of the good riding areas for out of area riders, but this is also a problem because it can get tracked up very quickly. Good boondockin' and you can get into Ash Creek Crater and it's a good climbing area.
There are maps in the warming hut that will be of great assistance.
Let me know when you head this direction.

we got 2 feet at the ski park, it was starting to get a little wind packed up on the top, but still very nice. Kale, let me know if you do a weekday ride, and if its not a school day for me, i'll play hooky at work.
A few of us some how caught a flue bug so we are heading to Medicine Lake Monday. Should be lots of powder
went ice fishing today up at castle lake. i tell you what nothing beats fishing, kicking back and highmarking in the same day. it was just a beautiful day!!! sunny, and just awesome. we climbed the face that was on the north side of the lake, and the snow was awesome, actually caught a few fish too
runnin awesome now that i learned how to ride it, the only problem that i've had with it was i blew my belt apart yesterday. but other than that its awesome.
Great ride today.
We hit Middle Fork, Porquipine Lake, Toad Lake, North Fork, Bear Creek, Little Picyune and back into Middle Fork, in that order, and then back to the trucks. 50 miles of untracked boondockin'.
Temps have been warm so snow has settled, but there is lots of it.
Left the camera at home.
