Thanks for the updates, I think we are going to cancel this weekend and plan for next, between snow pack and weekend forecast.

This was our decision as well. We got rained on heading up the trail our first 4 trips of the year, wasn't looking forward to it again this weekend. Here's hoping for cooling temps, more snow and an extended season!

Probably a good idea that's a long haul to go for a trail ride, Sherm and I are going to do a snow dance and sacrifice a Cat to appease the snow gods today!!!!

Headed up from owls toward blue - trail was frozen hard - hit meadows at 18 k - there was a very hard crust layer compared to yesterday ! As we headed up the shortcut to blue cabin the snow became powder ! We headed up to cabin - watched a few beginners on the bunny hill having some difficulties- and then headed over top then into meadows to find some decent snow - 8 to 10 inches and as we headed lower into trees there was even more ! Snow has settled abit but temps uptop were not melting temps ! Trail going up and down was in great shape still !

Well to the thanks of Billy and Sherm doing the snow dance - the skis opened up last night and gave about 5 inches of fresh to owls area ! We headed back toward Eco where the skis opened up alot more and we were blessed with about a ft of fresh ! Proceeded through a few ravines and bowls and headed toward ecco lake to find untouched powder ! Had a few whoopc's here and there but was a great day ! Had a mixture of weather from snowing hard to clear skis and even some sun !

Your very welcome! And, just for the record, I wasn't dancing with Billdozer during the snow dance, he can't dance worth a s#^% !!
