Hey I'm really in need of people to ride with in the valley!!! Most my friends work or of town, or I've chosen to quit riding with other for various safety reason. Was hoping to meet new people to ride with!!!

Anyone been to Sixmile yet? Thinking about heading there Sunday. Snow is in the forecast and the maps show that area with the most snow.

Six Mile? Good luck getting up the front side trail with 20 inches of snow. We need a lot more.

Don't do the cut across South Canyon to the 2nd bridge this time of year also..not much fun!

Have you been out Rush? What has been happening in you world, how have you been?

I've been out but everything below 5500ft is pretty thin. Seeley, B2000 area south of Crane, Noisy... it's all pretty landmine-ish. Six Mile might get broke in this weekend but it all depends on how much snow falls. I'm not up for wrecking stuff (again)!

Decided against sixmile yesterday but after Christmas I plan on going. NOAA interactive map is finally showing spots in the 75-100" range by Christmas. The first 1000-1500ft after the forest road are going to be slow going I'm sure.

Rode six-mile yesterday. Snow was pretty good, most everything was covered. About 3 feet on top of a hard layer. Some decent sized slides farther back towards Ball creek.

i am thinking of heading that way Sunday. Never been to that part of Montana before. Where is the snow the best? Where is the best place to stay. How about a guide or somebody that may be willing to show me around? Any help would be great.
Thanks
