Was around 8 inches new snow last couple of days at Winter lot. Temp was -5'c at 10am Road was plowed but some compact and ice sections from old rock quary up.

Many vehicle tracks up to winter lot all in same rut Please spread your tracks out to protect the road surface. So many vehicles have been up but no one has posted any reports, Please post a report after you come down from Tet Or Dakota.

I am sure someone was up at Tet last weekend it would be nice if you could share info so others going up knew how things are up there. The Tet should not be a big secret. Or should it? Take pics and post them here. Snow depths and temp help others know what they might expect.

Good day at Dakota Current Conditions Thursday, April 29, 2010
Three of us went up to Dakota Ridge today, two of us on skis, and one on snowshoes. It was a great day. We went north of the eastern loop, and consequently higher in elevation on the ridge. The snow was soft on top and easy to climb in but fast enough to make downhill fun.
