The Week Before Christmas

This has been an unusually different winter this year. We got small amounts of snow early in the season but not what anyone expected but now it is trying to make up for the lack of early season snow with alot all at once. Everyday the landscape around here has looked different and some days can't see beyond the trees, then others blue skies with clouds of varying colors a little over 2 weeks ago we hardly had 1 1/2' of snow and today we are almost at the 10' mark on the gauge but some of that is because if drifting snow not actual we are more around the 8-8.5' mark.
We haven't seen very many snowmobilers out this year which is totally surprising for this time of year but at the same time awhen they only keep the lower parts of the trail system groomed consistantly because according to the forest service personell no one really comes out this far just to snowmobile. I have a favor to ask of all of you who like to ski, snowmobile, anything that has to do wth being outdoors in the snow that enjoy coming out to Trinity and Phelps Creek TH if you would please send comments ato me or to the forest service and parks system and let them know how you feel about not having access to all parts of the park just because of the way they choose to groom, they say it is for the recreationist but I'd like to hear from those of you that actually use the trails and off trails around here. Thse are just a few of the scenes around here this past week.\

We found our PAradise, Hope you find your's too.
