Hows mirror lake highway looking?
Trying to decide if I should take the 660 with me back to Evanston or just ride my dads spare Edge 144. Only problem with taking the 660 will be dealing with all the crap he'll give me for buying it.

That looks horrible!!!! Glad I chose not to go
Well just got back from the uintah's. Yesterday we decided to ride Mt. Elizabeth/Millcreek canyon... Bad idea, still stumps and rocks everywhere. Today we went up the highway to whitney/moffit. Deep deep deep powder. It was pretty barren up to the warming hut with the tops of sage showing, but just above that it just got bottomless around 10000 ft. Awesome Ride! Sorry for no pics, i totally forgot about pics until i was halfway back to the truck on MLH

went up providence canyon today. snow was pretty deep in some spots. its got a good base no rocks or stumps. got to the warming hut played around there before deciding to turn back before it got worse and wouldnt be able to find our way out. cant wait to go out wednesday.
Need some help/advice. I have a group of 5 other friends and relatives that are visiting me in Salt Lake City until Sunday morning and want to go snowmobiling. They are all somewhat experienced off trail riders, prefer rolling hills, meadows, some easy tree riding, carving, easy to moderate sidehilling. Since I haven't been out riding in Utah yet this year, where do you suggest that we go for a day ride? Will have good sleds (SC Apex, couple modded Mtn Max's, stock Viper, stock 700 Doo), all at least 151" tracks.

Guardsman Pass was nice a deep, this is only my second time here and Madmax was the guide, still plenty of rocks to find and some little trees will stop you dead in your tracks, light snow fall made for some flat light……all in all, good short ride for the day. This place is like a freakin maze……makes for some killer boondocking and rock hoppin. Saw my first white weasel, little guy was cute....
No clue why Madmax took better pics than me, its my freakin camera!

Mill Hollow
I suggest going up to The Mill Hollow Reservoir area. If you know how to get to Woodland, its an easy drive. Take I-80 east up Parleys Canyon 30 miles to the the Heber exit (US-40), head south to the Kamas exit, 4 miles (State Road 248), head east to the Red Light in Kamas, (11 miles), then turn right and head south on State 32 6 miles to the Francis 4-way stop and turn left. Stay on this road all the way to the Nobbletts Trail head parking lot. Unload and ride south east on the main trail until you come to the very first turn off (Mill Hollow Res.) Ride the main trail all the way past Mill Hollow and then it opens up on both sides of the trail. You can play on rolling hills and small bowls, right next to the main trail for miles and miles. (There's even a few small steep hills to play on) I suggest staying very close to the main trail if all the riders are not familiar with this area and with all this new powder. (Easy to get down in deep draws that would be very difficult to get out.) Have fun and make sure everybody has Beacons, Shovels and probes.

Thanks Catskinner - been up there riding a lot. I'm just not sure if the snow is good enough to go off trail and not hit rocks, stumps, etc. Talked with Adam at Bear River Service and he thought the snow was a little sketchy on the North Slope. What about Soapstone area, anyone know what the snow conditions are like?
The dude at bear river lodge doesn't know what he is talkin about. You get somewhat high and it is DEEEPPP. Soapstone is the same story other then it feels more like it doesn't have a base, if you get HIGH you can find some bottomless, baseless fluff. Rode both in the last few days.
I would love to link up with people that are familiar with the soapstone or Mill Hollow area this Saturday. Would like to find areas where you don't have to tip toe and worry about clipping rocks. Anyone interested let me know.
there are years we have more snow by halloween than we do this year. There are years we dont have snow till christmas...
be patient my fellow sledders, the new years monster storm is coming... 6 feet in 3 days...
i just wanted to toot my own horn and say "TOLD YA SO!!!"
