Hey folks, I'm new to the forum but have talked to some of you in the past. Does anyone know of any riding yet? I was at Mammoth skiing a few weeks ago and they hardly had enough after making snow every night. I've been really itching to get out!
When it does snow, I am always game to ride with anyone looking for another person. I have a Summit 800 so I tend to like boondocking over straight trails. My place of choice is Sherman pass since I live in Cal City but will go wherever the fun is!
We're all itchin! No riding in CA yet, pretty much have to take a road trip way north (ID, WY, CO) and even then, snow totals are low. Check out the Sherman web cam, just small patches are left... there was more snow there last July 4th!
Looks like the wet pattern might be back, starting next week and hopefully into Feb. I don't have much faith in the snow gods so far this winter, but my fingers are crossed.... so we'll see.
As soon as we get a couple feet, I'll be up at Sherman that weekend. Will need a couple storms for a base to get off trail, but I'd take just a road ride right about now!
And like most on here, come on up, always looking for more to ride with!
I'm hoping too, we had a ton of snow this time last year (the sad thing is that I missed half the season due to surgery)! We even delayed our annual Montana trip this year because of the lack of snow up there too.
Yeah, it'd be quite excellent if you let me know when you have a chance to head up there - its less than 2 hours for me so I'm game almost any weekend. I'll send you my phone number so feel free to give me a call after the snow flies.

Got your message Dave.... i sent one back... hope for snow SOON!
TWO Storms are here 20-25 JANUARY.
Mammoth predicting 2 feet or more in town and up to 5 feet at the lodge.
Oregon and Washington just got hammered. Whistler has 17 feet on the ground with more on the way.
That is quite excellent, might be heading to MT in the next few weeks (anyone interested?) and it would be good to get the sled out first.
Gonna ride Mammoth tomorrow and then back up there this weekend. Get it while you can, looks like warm and dry for the next couple weeks :(
Mammoth weather says 4-5 feet at the lodge.
At least good enough for a trail ride
Busy on Sat but planning to ride Sherman on Sunday. Let us know how Mammoth is Mike. What about you Don? Are you able to ride yet?
Mammoth was real nice on Tuesday. Still fresh from the storm and hardly any tracks yet. About 1-2 ft at town, 3-4 ft up high. 395 and east is trail only, some off trail up higher by Bald Mt., but still gotta be careful. Single-track non-groomed trails were fun. with 1-2 ft and some deeper wind drifts, and no other tracks. Cold and powdery in the AM, but gets warm in afternoon and snow gets heavy. Good for base building, but we need way more. Gonna go back up there on Sat. Let us know how Sherman is Roy.
Sure will Mike. Now all we need is more snow!
Not able to ride yet My prayers and excitement go out to all of you enjoying the riding.
