5" Overnight

Good Morning it's a balmy 31 degrees and we received 5" of snow overnight. The groomer arrived this morning about 2:30 and has groomed all the way into Trinity making a few passes around the area that had been prepped for the dogs for the Cascade Quest coming here today after noon.  For those dog teams it's wet snow and never got cold enough to set it up.  Run hard, run swift, and enjoy the snow, Good Luck to all of the teams today and rest of the weekend.

11" of Fresh Baby Fine POW

Good Morning it's 29 degrees and we received 11" of baby fine POW here since yesterday just a little more than the 2-5" forecast but I'm not complaining at all, I just need to get a job as forecaster getting paid good money to guess and be wrong 90% of the time.  The trail here is in great shape it was groomed Fri night and was like a hwy but hard on Sat so this will give it a nice cushion for anyone coming out this direction. The temps have been going into the high 20's at night which is what we have needed to set this snow up and pull some of the moisture out making it even better.  This is what we have been looking for so get out and enjoy it, it'll do a body good.  Peace

.5" of snow not much but still snow

It seems the warmer weather has been hanging around way too long for my liking and even though the snow is wet we still received .5" overnight, the trail is in good shape but hasn't been groomed as of yesterday but I haven't checked this morning yet.  I just would like to see it about 10 degrees cooler would be nice.  Get out and enjoy it while you can.  Peace

Very Wet Snow 3"

Good Morning it's 32 degrees and has been since yesterday afternoon. We received another 3" of very wet snow, it packs nicely but it is wet none the less. That gives us a total of 82" for the month of Jan.  Fortunately we didn't get any rain with it.  Get out and enjoy it if you can, if does a body good.

4" Overnight

Good Morning it's 31 degrees and overnight another 4" of POW fell here at Trinity. After bluebird skies yesterday morning the storm started moving in around 3pm on the mountains and seemed to be moving fast the fog showed up here and started snowing around dark.  The snow is still in good shape, higher elevation snow is much drier and fluffier and deeper for sure.  If you haven't gone out to play in it you are missing out, it does a body and spirit good.  Peace

6" yesterday, for almost 18" since Thur am.

Good Morning it's 23 degrees and yesterday it snowed here all day until just before dark then nothing overnight but we still got 6" and no rain so nothing to sneeze at. The trail here is in good shape the colder temps helped set up the snow leaving a crust but also pulling out moisture which will make more POW.  From the sno-park  to around the Little Giant curve only amounts of an inch to about 6" but from there it starts getting deeper to Trinity. This is what you have been looking for so get out and enjoy it while it's here and take advantage of it, it'll do you some good.  Peace

8" of New Snow Overnight

Good Morning it's 32 degrees and overnight we received 8" of new snow, it would be nice if it would cool down a bit though to allow the snow to firm up a little. The snow is still soft and you should use use some caution though because one place can be firm and next step you can punch through to your thighs. It's gonna be a great day no matter what, get out and enjoy it.  Peace

3" of Snow Overnight

Good Morning it's a warm 32 degrees this morning but we did receive 3" of new snow and that is better than rain, so no complaints.  Not much else to report though the road here was groomed earlier this week and as of yesterday only me and the dogs have been out on it and we were walking. We'll keep doing the snow dance but so should you.  Get out and enjoy it no matter what happens it will do you some good.  Peace

Well it's Snowing

Well it's 32 degrees and currently it is snowing not raining.  We still have a base of 7' here with the settling and compaction due to  the rain though. The road to Trinity was groomed as of Monday night or Tues night not sure exactly.  What we really need now is for the temps to drop back into the 20's to make it good again.  Nothing else to report at this time.

4" of Very Wet Snow

We were doing so good and then yesterday arrived and with it snow all day but then it got warmer overnight and that brought the rains, not enough to show on the weather station yet got to get through the snow but rain no less. Fortunately it's stopped for now and when it like this it is better to stay off of it if possible so it can settle the snow we have and just pray for colder temps, this shouldn't effect the weekend of fun as long as the forecast snow gets here and the temps go down, will keep you informed as to what happens.  Have a wonderful day.  Peace

4" overnight

After a warmer weekend without much new snow we didn't get the rain or wintry mix forecast which was nice, even though the temps did help pack things down again and this morning we have 4" of fluffy whiteness and it's still coming down. We have over 7' of base here this year which is really wonderful to have.  I'm not convinced the forecasters know what they are doing supposed to be a much drier winter and I just haven't seen it that way at all but then again I'm not from the dark side.  If you are working have a good day if not get out and enjoy a great playtime in this wonderful snow. 
We have now had a total of 16' of snow since first snow in Nov and that includes the 44" so far this month & 2010.   Peace

1.5" of new snow overnight

Good Morning it's 21 degrees here at Trinity and we had about 1.5" of new snow overnight and it is snowing lightly right now.  The colder temps have not frozen the snow but have made it nice POW to ride and play in.  The next couple of days could be a bit iffy but other than that should be fine here and for anyone wanting to get out and enjoy it. The trail to Trinity was groomed earlier this week and fast according to those that have been out here this week.  Don't let good POW go to waste get out and enjoy it with family and friends.

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.
