Ever since that teeroy bought that fancy parka, there has been more than enough snow on the eastern side of the Divide!

You keep riding that Flatland Fred, that'll leave a little more for us out here......hehehehe

We might be heading down that way this weekend, 2-4 of us depending on life and work and stuff. Looks like we may hit some good snow!

It was amazing on Saturday. The only place we ran into real troubles (like stumps and lots of them) was on the hill near the power lines, south west of the new cabin. I don't plan on riding that hill ever again. Lucky no one in our group sustained any damage.

Yeah, they are still in need of some snow. That hill is west facing and has a lot of stumps, it gets wind scoured at times as well, glad to hear you didn't wreck anything. There as still lots of spots out there where a guy has to be careful, its not "go anywhere" deep just yet.

Is anyone who's familiar with the area going to be down there this weekend and willing to let a couple of us hook up with you? For a couple of us it's our first time in the area and we'd like to see some of these awesome areas you guys have been hitting. We're no strangers to digging people out of stucks haha.
