8" you must be pushing pretty hard on your tape to get that! Just camped for 2 days out in Roche lake and there might be 4" there. Then there was a warm wind in the 28th that settled it more.

I realize that but there's not that much of a difference. For years I sledded around both areas with in days of each other and there was hardly a noticeable difference. Makes it nice and easy for ice fishing lol

Not sure how many years youve been frequenting the area but north goose and house mtn valley always has way more, the last two years everywhere sucked so hasnt been a big difference but ive had many years out there where swan had 3' of snow and north goose had 6-7', right now north of goose tower road has about a foot of snow, buddy is logging out around there and weather station is reporting 45 cm at house mtn lookout

Since I was about 3 lol. One hunting season years ago we had a moose draw we stayed in an outfitters tent for a week. When we got there there was only 6" of snow. By the time we left the quads were pushing snow up on the racks. So it can build up fast! Let's hope for snow storms

we were up there last weekend..... the snow is there..... it's not the normal amount for Swan Hills but you can still get out and put in a good days riding..... stay out of the cut blocks would be my advice.
