Rode Groundhog friday. We had sun most of the day and yes, it was EPIC out there! When you got off the sled (and not cannonball'ing into the snow...) it was mid thigh to waist deep and im 6'-3". Guy i rode with made the comment there was TOO MUCH snow. I told him to shut his mouth....

There was maybe 10 rigs in the parking lot. Trail up was groomed and like a highway. We rode the main GH area in the cutblocks most of the day. Its ride-able if you have good visibility, but i would caution if its overcast as there are still alot of NASTY stumps out there. We made it up the GH-1 climb and it was awesome up there.

No pics as we were too busy 'shreddin the nar'

Ride safe

We took a guy into big blue last year. He also said there was to much snow and he was out of his element. He doesn't get invited anymore. Lol it was my first year of mountain riding last year and I've never been in that much snow. I loved it.
