Black Hills... maybe some snow??

[prayinforsnow]

Hey it looks like the hills are actually getting a somewhat significant storm here today???
I know the off trail riding won't be worth @#%! for a while but if someone lives around there and can give an update on how much snow you get that would be greatly appreciated, we might come out and do some trail riding on the 28th if they're grooming the trails,

Terry Peak is saying 8 to 10 inches of new snow today. I would venture a guess and say that Spearfish got anywhere from 6 to 8 inches. Weather Service is hinting at another possible snow event on Christmas Day similar to this one. If that becomes reality, the trails would be in great shape over the New Years. Hope to go up on Sunday and mess around.

Merry Christmas all

weather.com is predicting snow for lead for the next three days and thursday. Please keep us updated on the snow reports. If they get another foot of snow we'll probably go out there.

It never fails, I decide to sell my Dragon and might be able to ride it for the first time in the Hills

I think we're gonna head up there Thursday.

not sure what they got up top last night.. had 1-2 inches here in the northern foothills when we work up.. skies are starting to clear though..

I am impatiently waiting for them to update the trails conditions website.

Dropped off at Trailshead yesterday. Headed north and over in cement ridge area. Snow is 6" to 18". No base. Off trail is full of land mines. Pretty busy. A lot of older trail sleds running around. Saw a few of the new sleds. They are grooming. Not going to get to full of mogels with the low snow. Still had a fun day. Might go back up Tuesday.

Winter Storm Warning

NWS is predicting 6" to 12" in the Northern Black Hills tonight and tomorrow. Should be a happy new year.

Went to Dumont yesterday to take the kids sledding and snowmobiling. Trails were a bit icey in this area but good on the straights. Logging trails seem to be the best bet yet as off trail, as Prairiebound indicated, is very risky. Have fun. Hope to go up on New Year's Day or Wednesday.

Lead Deadwood area has about 6-8 inches of new snow from last night and today. Trails are about the only place to safely ride as there is no base off trail yet.

Beware off trail

Went up this past weekend and rode three days, trails were pretty good except trail #5, but what else is new I don't know if I've ever had a good ride on 5... there is quite a bit of snow but no bottom AT ALL.. I was riding right around 3A in a meadow with close to 20" of snow, takin it slow, but hit a big rock just under the snow and twisted the whole front susp on the right side so be careful in the hills yet.. if your just stickin to the trails its pretty good

How has the snow been holding up out there through the first part of Jan?

Any place to ride out there with snow left?

TIA!

I hope so! Got a group heading out there later this week... if it totally sucks we may have to push further west... pretty sure we are gonna look like the snow searching version of the Beverly Hillbillies.
