Rain today... not real hard, but pretty steady. Things haven't changed much here in the past month or so, about 3 down low, and about 4 1/2-6 up high

Might be snowing down in Rigby, but we aren't getting squat here.. Talking about 3-6 inches here this weekend, but I've been hearing that jazz all winter.. with that being said, riding is not too bad in the canyons, but it's real set up and wind blown up high....

Its been snowing pretty much non stop all day long down here, and you are getting NOTHING?

And saying the last 20 inches that fell in the last 2 days is SET UP and WIND BLOWN already?
