You folks on the east side and foothills have all the snow, lets see the depths at your house or work or whatever, I'd like to see some from the pass if anyone has any.

Just measured 27 inches in Carlton, It's settled powder clear to the ground.  The deer are having a hard time getting around, seems like not many of them this year in the wintering areas, they are all in town and along the river. They are being slaughtered on the hi way. The deer sink to the ground, coyotes about 6-10 inches, big cats are dragging their bellies in the snow.  The deer are in small bunches of 2-3 and scattered,  better odds of not being chosen by a predator and when they get to a bush to eat they don't have to share it.  Coyotes and cats are using the few deer trails mostly. The Eagles and other scavenger birds are eating well this winter.

I use this site to make guesses about run-off for fishing trips to western states in June.  It's kind of fun to see the tables.  Play around with it.

Well no pics yet, we're xcountry skiing into our cabin near Stampede Pass over Presidents Day weekend.  I'll get some up after the trip, that place gets buried.

Actually I might have an older one hold on...

this pic was taken 2/3/08. it's at my in-laws house at 3400' in the blues. the fence is 4' tall around the chicken pen. this is a drift, not normal accumulation...but they've had 44" of measurable snow in the month of january without a thaw. sorry the pic is so small.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
