thinking about going tomorow but sounds like it blows
Went today, unfortunantly they only got about 2 inches of fresh.
That's on top of windblown snow, there is fresh out there but you have to find it. Probably not worth the drive, willow/pittman road looked like they got about 7 inches of fresh.

Well if anyone is going up there, I'll split gas costs. I am in Eagle River.

Not interested in Pville but am often looking for someone to ride with. I live close. Thinking Hatchers or Baldy on Monday

Pville update
Me and a buddy rode Pville today, road is pretty icy from willow to pville. It snowed maybe 4 inches recently there, trail was decent with the new snow. Very slushy though, but you can find some decent pow in the back near the mountains. Started pouring rain on us around 3 pm so we rode back. Didn't ride the mountains due to the avy danger with the warm weather.

Slush.
My dad drove up to Fairbanks on Friday. He said @ m.m. 131 it was 48 degrees and raining and void of snow. I think Ill be heading to Eureka. forecast is for snow all week and cold temps. I would not waste my time with P-vill for a while.

Raining all the way there Sunday morning,Finally stopped at around 10:00 Roads sucked. P-Ville road was slick. DOT trucks had not been out at all on Sunday. Hill at m.p.8 was glare ice with water running over it in A.M. Studs or chains would get you in.
Flat light and misting, but snow was holding up. Trail was beat, but once you get back to the hills there is plenty of "Spring Like" snow. Waist deep. Will make a great base when it cools off. Dutch Hills are loaded with decent powder in the bowls. Pack gas and make the trip in, It will be worth it. Just watch for open areas, Lots of water running underneath.
30F when we left at 5PM

Went riding today ... Monday ... up at P-ville. Lots of fun and lots of untracked deep snow still to be had. Actually snowing very nicely up top at tree line and above. Beats hanging out at home ... get on out there!
1/23 PVILLE... was pretty good in the hills. Alot of little windlips and the snow was fair considering the warm spell the entire state got.
