Got a few of us that are going to try and squeeze in one more ride at IP tomorrow.
Looks like we might take a stab at Mt. Jefferson.

Drove up to take a first hand look this afternoon.
The valley for all intents and purposes snow free now.
I drove to big springs and the roads are snow free all the way to the springs.
But it looks like there is enough snow on the access trail to get us up to Black Canyon Trail and then onto Black Bear Cutoff, where there should be plenty of snow according to SnoTel which says there is still 77 inches remaining.
Can't help but think this might be the last hoorah for the season with the extended forecast calling for high 50s next weekend, and the 10 year average showing we should be into the vertical portion of the snow melt-off curve by now.

WOW!
What an OUTSTANDING day on the mountain.
The snow was way beyond what I had hoped for.
Absolutely awesome sledding!
Hope the other snowesters that came will join in.

Buddies are in Cooke right now and said that it is great riding wish i could have been a long.
Christopher that was Awesome ride today! I will get some those pics and videos up on here. We were just looking at them at STEVO house and all I can say is WOW I still cant believe how good the snow was for spring riding this year.
For anyone out there who wants one last ride GO its going go fast but its worth the chase for snow I havent had that good spring ride in years.

Snowing right now in Cooke!!!!!
I am glad we were all able to get up there.
It was MUCH better than I had hoped for.
The weather was GREAT and the snow was every bit as good.
We could have ridden all day if we all had warm weather spring clothing.
I am BURNED red from the sun on my head!
Tomorrow is going to be painful.
So how is the editing coming on the videos?
Its great I will Email them to you as soon as I get back home monday night. We were able to make a 10 min video clip with all the carnage. Even got my roll in there and I was able to hear your narrating.
We were both sore today. I will give you a call chris when I get them emailed and STEVO said he will get ahold of you and get you a copy of the DVD.

Any chance we can get some of the pictures here in the forum for the rest of us to see?
STILL waiting on ArmySledder to send them or to upload them to YouTube
Christopher I emailed some to you did you get them? If not call me and I resend them.
I got 2 photos in e-mail.
One was of snow, with no one in it.
The other of your buddy jumping the cornice.
Surely we took a LOT more than that.

Heres the rest of the pictures. I am sure if a guy had a sled deck he could get into some great snow still. The only bad part would be riding the 2 miles dirt last week become 4 miles of dirt this Saturday if you unload with a trailer.
