6" of Wetter Snow overnight

Good Morning we have a balmy 31.5 today and overnight we got another 6" of wetter snow with some flakes this morning the size of silver dollars but we haven't had any rain so far.  Now we need colder temps to draw out the moisture and again we will have wonderful POW.  FYI the road to Trinity was groomed early Monday morning.  Might want to hold off snowmobiling like this even though the snow is good just causes much bigger ruts and if forecast are correct the temps will be dropping tonight and those ruts would freeze making it even more difficult to maneuver over.  Peace

3.5" of Snow overnight

This morning we had 3.5" of new snow to report here. As of yesterday they still haven't groomed out this far again but that just made for nice riding for snowmobiles with a slight crust and 6" of POW underneath. We now have over received 173.5" of snow since it started falling in Oct and there is 5-6' of base @ 2800' and it just gets better from here.  Get out and enjoy it it does a body good and the trail here is fine.

Warmer night & 11" more snow

Well the new year is starting off with plenty of snow.  Yesterday the snow was fairly dry and you couldn't make snowballs without using a ice chest to get a snowball 4", it was very fluffy.  The temps continued to climb throughout the day and this morning we are at 30 degrees we had a little over 11" of new snow, even though this is much wetter snow compacting slowly and we have 6.75' on our gauge.  As of this writing we are getting frozen rain/sleet snow mix.  The trees are heavy with  new snow and look beautiful and with all the new snow there still haven't been but maybe 10 sledders out this far where the real snow is.  Get out and enjoy the white wonderland  we call home, it'll do you  some good and a great way to start 2010.  Peace

Happy 2010 Everyone we got Snow

Happy first day of 2010  we got over 11" of new snow yesterday, very dry sticky POW here in Paradise.  We had our first sled dog team arrive around 1pm yesterday so had someone to share chili and homemade bread for supper.  The team had a hard time settling down even after a 23 mile run to Trinity they were just getting warmed up apparently.  that puts us just a little under 6' now but it did stay warmer last night actually getting warmer as the night progressed.  We even were able to see the beautiful full blue moon through the clouds.  This is what everyone says they have been wanting well it is here.  
Get out and enjoy it to start 2010 off with a bang, some face shots and POW everywhere, you might have to wait to throw a snowball though as it is a dry sticky POW.  
May you all be blessed with happiness, peace, love and prosperity, no looking back now but enjoy the moment and each day that comes.  Namaste & Peace from Paradise.

New Year's Eve 2009

Once again the forecast wasn't even close we got a whopping .5" and that is being generous.  They are calling for 3-5 " on one forecast and 4-8" on the other but as i mentioned before they have been wrong 90-95% of the time this winter.  I've got to get me one of the forecasting jobs, I at least can guess better than they have been with all of their fancy equipment for this area anyway.  This has been a rough year for many and hopefully 2010 will be better for everyone, with foolish laws changed and accountability from our leaders.  Happy New Year from the Trinity5 pack and many blessing for everyone in 2010.  Peace

Visions of Snowflakes Falling

With the New Year approaching I did some figuring on our present snow fall situation.  It was forecast to be a drier winter and it seems to have been so far. 
Since the first snowfall in Oct we have received @ Trinity 148.25" or 12.35' of snow up to this morning, yet we have just less than 5' on our gauge.  Problem is that we received rain during that time also  which compacted and settled the snow.  The temps have been colder earlier than last year which has pulled moisture out of the snow especially for what we have now and even though it is firm there is 1-12" of POW on top of a base of almost 4'.  Some places have a slight crust that if broken you can be up to your thigh in POW  baby fine POW.  Last year at this time we already had 6-7' of POW with no bottom, lots of stuck sleds who just didn't use enough power for the conditions.  
Hopefully the new year will bring with it much more snow than we have seen so far but then again I can't complain too much we have accumulated 12+ ' so far.  
Peace, Blessings for the New Year  from the Trinity5 Pack

Well we got snow little over 1"

Well we finally woke up to some new snow but not what everyone was hoping for just a hair over 1" of fresh baby fine POW arrived overnight.  I am happy to say that it is still snowing at this time very small flakes and little accumulation.  Finally saw some other sledders yesterday saying there are areas of the trail out here that are icy but out here it's just POW, so get out there and work off some of the Christmas food you ate playing in the snow, it does a body good.  Peace

Bluebird Morning 6 degrees and No Snow

Blue skies and cold temps are helping out the snow around here, yet very few people have been this far all week maybe 3-5 sleds this far.  Seems everyone stays close to the snowpark and stay on the trails instead of getting to where the real snow is and having fun, too bad you don't know what you are missing.  Now get out and ride and play in the real snow not what you find in the first 5-7 miles but actually from Fish LK and most of all get off of the trails, snow is firm but POW at the same time, there is a base and so far just me and the dogs have really enjoyed it out here.  Peace
