We went on Saturday, Jan 31. Alot of snow, and we were all stuck at least a few times. A TON of wind the night before and morning of, made it all the harder. HUGE drifts, and at 5 ' and a little bit, I could have easily been covered with a little more snow. All in all, not a bad day.

cutblocks were not to bad you could ride them without worries but had to be careful on tops of hills and in the centers were the wind had blown but otherwise it was all good.

Hey Summit Mike, last time I checked you don't own that land. And also it's nice to see pics so that if a guy has to drive from a ways away they know what to expect. Some guys' 3 feet of snow is actually a foot and driving 3 hours on here say to find crap conditions is the pitts. So I say keep the pics coming, that area is great and people should experience it. Just My 2 cents
