Tampico Snow Report - 2011 - Part 3

[Tampico]

(continuation of Tampico/Ahtanum snow condition thread after 75 posts for easier viewing and use by non-subscribers (request))

This morning at the sno-park there was about 2" of new snow and 32F. Roads are good.

Groomer meeting tonight @ 7pm @ the Naches Ranger Station back side. I will inquire about the grooming loop, and the plowing status for the sno-park for this weekend. I think we are having out of town guest use the sno-park this weekend, plus it will be packed.

Any questions concerning the Ahtanum let me know before 4:30 this afternoon.

Also see the update above concerning LEGISLATIVE ACTION in the DNR / Ahtanum Status 2010-2011 thread.

Thanks,

Tampico

I know some secret spots, but I still think the snow will be too deep for anyone to venture off the trail, so we should be OK on Friday

Thursday morning:

Snowing lightly and 32F. Roads are good, minimal melt.

Lots of rigs heading up this morning (obviously not mine).

Looking for volunteers to educate people and get signatures on the petition form noted in the DNR / Ahtanum Status 2010-2011 thread for this Saturday and Sunday mornings. Please review the last portion of that thread for more information.

Any questions, please contact me.

Go ahead and tear it up Friday

But I doubt you'll make it to the sweet spots. I always like it when people smooth it out for us. Makes it faster for us to get to the good riding!!! Can't help it if some people have to work Fridays for a living. I'm just thanking myself, Tampico and others that the Ahtanum is open for riding. We may not be so fortunate next year.

Ill try to remember to take some pics of before and after we tear up all the good snow.
Don't worry we won't be able to tear it all up, we won't have enough gas or time in one day.

So......, Who road Tampico today? I'm wondering if this weekend is shaping up to be good for a family type ride or if the meadows etc... are just to deep for the kids. I was looking to the big loop and clover flats but from the sounds of it, it may be a bit more than they can handle. The girls ride 340's and the oldest is 11. They ride pretty well but would not venture far off the groom except for the meadows around the huts.

Also wondering how the weather and visibility is looking to be.

Please, let me know what you guys think.

I'm on top of darland right now and its real foggy. The trail is groomed. The best I've seen in years. The snow is still deep but its now heavy. We tried to climb some of the lower bowls and it didn't work out so well. Lots of stucks. But not 1 for me yet.

Yes! Lol the grooming is comparble to little naches! And the snow was awesome. Its starting to setup so by tomorrow the hills should be easier to climb. I just put 10.3 gal of gas in my sled and I went 55.6 mi. I needed frogskinz realy bad today. I shredded a belt because I kept filling the clutches with snow. I was stopping everybody and asking for duct tape to cover my vents to save my new belt. lol have fun tomorrow the sheriffs r checking for permits and tabs in the snowpark.
