Whos going to rapid with me friday? If they get their twelve inches I have to find a way out there and spend saturday blazing trails. Not quite sure how yet though.

I would definetely like to go, but I don't think I'll be able to get away.

welp, I'm assured a two place trailer. I just may rent a pickup from budget for two days and hed out. Bro in law sounds like he won't be able to go but will let me use the trailer,and my friend doesn't think he'll be able to get a sled. Not really wanting to go alone out to rapid. I'll figure something out by weds. though. If anyone is interested give me a holar. 359-9847.

How much snow did the hill get? I will go if enough snow is there!

Friend said 14". They already had snow on the trails too.

I got saturday off so i'm good to go. Just got to find a truck and pick up the trailer.

they got 21" in deadwood.

I'm there. Just having trouble getting a possie together. Most want to go, but they either can't get off of work or can't afford to. :help:

Anyone?

That's all I have for pics. The only time we stopped was for gas or to check out Spearfish Canyon Resort. Our average speed was around 50mph. There was a good 21" in some places, LOTS of powder I'm thinking of upgrading the Phaser already to a '97 Mountain Max 700 and going out again soon. My bro-in-law has the blue '99 vmax 700 and I found I NEED more power. Even though with my track and light weight I was able to go up steeper hillsides alot quicker.

I had plans to head out the the Black Hills this week but temps in the 50's will keep me away from there.

Give the Black Hills Trail Office a call at 1-605-584-3896 and check out the trail website for conditions. What the weather is in rapid is never what it is in the hills. They had 40's in rapid and it was the 20's up at the trailhead near spearfish.

Is there anywere else within a half-days driving distance? Norther MN up north of duluth maybe? I may just pick up an 02 SXR700 with a 136" track and will need a place to check it out in a week or three.

The UP still has good snow. The drive is about 6 hours from Albert Lee, MN.
