1' of POW in the last 48 hours

Good morning it's 29 degrees and snowing, overnight we received another 4" of POW making it 1' of POW since Sat morning. That on top of the 15" base we already had is starting to look like winter is here. There is plenty of snow from the first horse camp to Trinity for snowmobiling and as of yesterday you could drive in that far before launching sleds and riding in here if so inclined. It's still half a month before they would even consider to start grooming and that is only depending on how much snow arrives out near Fish Lake snopark in that time. Enjoy the snow it does a body good. Peace

New Pow Overnight

Good morning it's 26 degrees and we have 1" of new POWder, nice to see it after a couple of days without any, but I loved the bluebird skies we had. This is very fine Pow and there is about 1' base which is nice at this time of year, normally it comes much later. The road had a good base also but we had to rescue a stuck van and used a blower for the last 3-4 miles towards Trinity so owe need this new snow to cover the road again. I'll keep you informed. Peace

3" of new snow

Good morning it's 32 degrees with blue skies right now. We received another 3" of snow last night but it is compacting and only 15" deep where it is not disturbed. Nice to see the snow with Bluebird skies. There is 5-6" of snow from Atkinson Flats to 15-16" @ Trinity so get those sleds ready...Peace

Maybe this is it

Good Morning it's Nov 7 and it's 32 degrees here. We started getting snow Thur night and woke up to 6" of snow yesterday morning. The temp never got higher than 32 and it snowed all day but no real accumulation. This morning we had another 8" of snow for a total of 14" so far. We thought it was supposed to rain and get warmer this weekend but the way it is looking now this might just stay around. As long as it continues to snow I'll be reporting snow levels daily unless for some reason the plant drops.

It might be Apri,l but thinks it's still Winter

Good Morning it's April 2 and we have gotten 22" since the 31st. We've already gotten more snow in Apr than all of Feb this year. Woke up day before yesterday with 11" of new POW and then this morning we had another 11" and it's still snowing. When I came home last Thur the trail was sorta torn up until Chikamin due to sledder's tearing it up while it was wet. From there to Basalt there had only been a couple of sleds on it and it was in better shape but from Basalt out to Trinity was very smooth and fast and we made first tracks. Didn't see any sledders here all weekend so the road was still in great shape now it just has another 22"+ on top of it to give a better cushion.This latest snow is a combination of wet and very dry snow. Normally getting this much snow so fast isn't such a good thing since it doesn't have time to bond to older snow increasing the risk of slides in the area. It's beautiful out there get out and enjoy it just be smart in where you play...Peace

Season drawing to a close, Sorta...

We went into town for 3 days on Monday and hoped to get some of the snow Steven's Pass got during that time, maybe 2-3" only though. Coming in yesterday the lower portion of the road here was rough due to lots of traffic while snow as very weeet, not bad but used none the less, from Basalt on to Trinity it was smooth as glass with just about 1" of new snow on top. We made the first tracks on it and it was very nice to come home like that. The grooming for the year is over I've been told, so now snow is melting at Fish Lk sno-park but not bad yet, it is good from there just rough to Chikamin Flats stay out of others tracks and it is nice though. Get out and enjoy it while you can it's getting warmer during the day but overall the snow is still on great shape. Get on those sleds and ride or pack your skis and come enjoy the beautiful virgin ski runs we know of, it'll so your body & spirit good. Peace
