I was up on the 1st. The snow was pretty skimpy until after the warming hut. Puzzle creek was adventurous to say the least. Lots of fallen trees (and lack of saws) made the trail kinda hard going. Lots of snow at the slide and further back toward nickel tree, and el tigre. Also lots of BIG rocks visible on nickel tree.
Supposedly there's been a few big dumps since then though. Should be good to go.

hope so! i heard of some people goin up last weekend but i heard nothing about a snow report....just a story about a kid from Shelby sliding off the bridge by the parking lot into the river while his gf just stood around watching while he was pinned under his sled in the creek... dont think anyone got hurt though. if anyone has ridden let us know! we need some snow! think there are chances of snow all week...think snow!
hoping for snow myself, also hoping for a d8 to show up too!!
my dad and i might go up sometime around x-mas...hope they get more snow. if we go ill give a report and take some pics....think snow!
Where is Skyland exactly?
like 10 miles or so west of East Glacier parking lot is right next to the road. sweet place!
thinking about settin up a ride for the day after xmas myself and some guys from the hiline, let me know
We'll be heading up that way in the next few weeks. Would like to wait for a little bit more snow since it can be pretty wind whipped in certain areas.
