I'm not really stuck here. I just inhaled a dump truck load of snow and couldn't breath anymore. I was actually hacking. Did you get the vid of this?
I'll post mine up soon.

Here's proof that I'm not the only PRO to get stuck. Here's one of Bagger at Section 3 on Sat. Ha Ha...gotcha Jerry!

And that wasn't the only stuck Saturday Mark, (I just usually have the camera! :face-icon-small-win) it was one of those awesome days!!
We were so tired we could hardly drag our butts into the truck by 3pm, got home, got a fire goin' and hit the couch!!

Sorry for the late reports, been a busy week farming and contacting legislators on the bill we are trying to pass.

Has felt like spring the last 2 mornings, most of the snow from the big snow 12 days ago is mostly gone at the lower levels.

I have contacted the groomer operator about doing a pass up Red Saddle; last weekend it was the only one that I rode that was rough.

Jackass was great last weekend, probably pretty bare this weekend. I would assume it is done for the year, at least for access from the bottom portion.

Based on conditions now and before the big snow, I am hoping for another weekend (after this one) for decent riding from the snow park. The forecast is great this week for more snow up high, but potentially rainy at the snopark level.

I have updated the DNR status post also, please refer to it.

8" new today at the sno-park level. Red Saddle was groomed today, loop tonight, maybe Jackass tomorrow morning. The sno-park is supposed to be plowed tonight also.

Sorry for the lack of updates, been busy and snowest seems to be deleting my posts just after I add them.

I will try to repost conditions after I shred everything tomorrow:heh:.

Oh, somebody just offered me $5 to lie about the conditions. SO... it is now 85F, raining and a tiger shark just swam up the creek. Everybody now stay home tomorrow, unless you have a surfboard:nod:!

Get your signatures in at the local dealerships, we now have 123 delivered, and at least a couple more waiting to be sent in next week. A big "thank you" to Rep. Charles Ross, he has personally been involved in helping us with a solution for the DNR funding situation.

Thanks,

Tampico
 
Well, the snopark didn't get plowed and the groomer had 4" of snow on it Saturday morning where it was parked. Funny, since it quit snowing at about 9:30 Friday night. I didn't ride the loop, so I don't know its condition. The groomer didn't do what he told me Friday. Typical:face-icon-small-fro.

But, the weather was awesome, no tracks wherever we went, and it was deep in the trees and north faces! The boys (#1 home from UW), 6 Ski-Benders and I got 60+ hard miles and 1 complete tank of gas gone each shredding powder at will.

Snowing hard here now (Sunday morning), forecast calls for an additional 4-8" by Monday morning. We are kinda getting spoiled here with all the low level snow. I will have had nearly 3' feet of new here by tomorrow morning in the last 3 weeks. Damn, life is good:face-icon-small-hap.

After getting up yesterday and not seeing a cloud in the sky to the west. I thought Dang I missed out. I figured everything would be tracked up and riding would be just okay today (Sunday).....man was I wrong.

Incredible conditions. Snow was deeeep. visibility sucked but it didn't matter. Don't know where everyone was riding yesterday and today but there was untracked everywhere and it was deep. For sure a Top 3 ride of all time for me at least. (excluding Revy)

Trail was not so bueno but off trail was amazing. I can neither confirm nor deny that it may or may not have been a stuck fest
 
Quit snowing about 6pm, now is snowing again very hard, huge snowflakes. Almost like a white thunderstorm. We probably got about 4" here near the snowpark elevation, but at this level it is warm and melts not long after it falls.

Up high though is probably:nod:!

This time of year enjoy it while you can!

I would of kept going if I hadn't been knocked of my sled by the snow. Ha Ha
Hard to ride when you got snow stuffed down your throat and your gasping for air. It was deep that day. Love it. Thanks for postin'.
 
End of year grooming, all things must come to an end...

Just talked to the groomer, and here is how the year should wrap, as far as the grooming part of things:

Probably 1 more trip up Red Saddle and 2 more trips around the loop (middle fork and north fork). All the berms and signs must be down and grooming completed by this Friday morning, April 1st, per the state contracts. AS of this Friday, the roads will be open to all vehicles.

Yesterday, Sunday, 03/27, Red Saddle was good, North Fork was good in the upper 1/2, bumpy in the lower 1/2. Snow was good pretty much everywhere.

I got another 13 signatures in the snow park yesterday. Thanks to all who signed. I will send in the final batch this week.

Final grooming meeting-Wednesday, 04/06/11 at the Naches Ranger Station, back side.
