A trip report.
Had a great couple of days in New meadows, great town and really enjoyed the riding.
We decided to jump in the truck and drive 8 hours in search of the deep and white.
Trying to find somewhere to ride we ended up looking at Idaho.
Some friends were going to New Meadows Idaho and Mike and I tagged along.
Showed up on Thursday night and stayed in a local bed and breakfast, The heartland Inn. http://www.thehartlandinn.com/
The main house has a beer and wine bar, low cost room with not many amenities but it does have heat, hot tub, water pressure and pizza place across the street.
In the morning we met our local guide Ken at the Granite mountain café. Good food and a couple friendly locals.
We managed to find a snow park just a couple miles out of town and 10 minutes later we were at the snow park.
Snow riding out of the trailer and we proceeded up hill.
It was still early and the snow was a little firm. Climbed various hills and stopped to take in the scenery.
Then up to the lookout to take a quick picture with the 12th man flag.
Weather clearing and snow is getting softer.
Michael wanted to give his turbo Pro a few test runs.

A few side hills < video
Next was the Goose lake hill climb.
Taking a break between climbs
Shannon, an aggressive rider did the high mark came down under speed hit the berm and did a superman over the bars as his sled did a nose dive into the hill.
There was a couple spots we had a great time riding in soft untracked snow. Burned out pines with no underbrush

Back to the room a quick shower and then into town to the Kahili Club
I was surprised they had a great band Lucky tongue. Classic Rock.

Big fans of Team 57 and this was their home court. After riding in the area we gained even more respect for their skills. Its an amazing place to ride.

It was a great trip, it had all the best combinations of small town, cheap accommodation close to a good rocking bar. good food, Friendly locals, a snow park only 4 or 5 miles out of town.
It was a reasonably priced good time road trip and we found snow... <!-- / message --><!-- edit note -->
