So far the best riding I've had. Lots of snow and warmer weather.

Temps were 20 to 40 "above", snow from 2 to 5 feet on a decent base. Lots of folks riding the trails that the Curry Ridge Rides maintain, but limited number of folks back in the Peter Hills. Had lots of big open fields of untouched powder to play in.... The trails were best last week, before X-Mas and the got pretty rough afterwards. The Peter Hills were fantastic, would of stayed and rode farther back in but didn't have anyone to ride with, so I limited myself to 30 miles off the road, just in case I had to walk out :grtruckn:

Pics coming later tonight "thumbright:

Glad the Trip worked out for you. I'm headed to Cantwell tomorrow.

Charlie,

Plan to drive south of Cantwell, at least to say 185 Parks Hwy.

Cantwell has almost nothing for snow, starts to get decent past the Igloo, but even that is minimal.......

We sledded from just south of the Igloo. Went in behind the igloo and rode some out there and then crossed back over the road and rode the Mine trail back into the mine area. enough snow to do it but we still need a lot more to really be able to get anywhere. tops are pretty thin and bushes everywhere.
