Despite two solid days of rain in the valley the upper elevation has a deep snowpack! Today I went to an uncrowded landscape to play in over a meter of light and untracked snow. Was it Island Lake Catskiing? No, not today however it would be awesome!
I went snowmobiling with four friends into a mountain drainage that had no tracks or other people. We carved and ripped waist deep powder between 6000 to 7000 feet all day, it was epic!
If your looking for your own space and nice upper elevation powder check out your snowmobile and snowcat skiing options on the following links:
