We rode today dec 1 staged at the trapper Lea's campground there was about a foot,
as we headed north it got deeper maybe 1 1/2 to 2 feet but no base.
some of the trails were already groomed.
It was a great day nice to be back on the sleds

We were there today for a few hours...... Found some good snow on the cut lines, a foot or better of for the most part fresh and the odd spot you'de jump off into crotch deep, good enough to play in for sure! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1354498055.820686.jpg

Come right in town and stage at the old ball field on the north side of the why intersection 33-32 I'm up here all week so if your a loner I would tag along and show you a few spots, careful of the sloughs not quite frozen enough yet let me know when your thinking of heading this way. Cheers!!! Also there is a bylaw that allows you to cut through town to the closest trail and ya never get bothered filling up for fuel either, you can get an area map at the snow goers in town, nice to support the local club they do a good job with trails. Worth the money if your gonna ride more than once a year.

We staged at the pump jack tight past the intersection of 32 and 33 on the left. We stayed to te cut lines more than the trail areas for the most part a foot - 1 1/2 but we did find some spots off the beaten path that were deeper. Keep in mind at 5'6" my crotch may be lower than yours lol. But all in all great day
