Looking for someone to ride with in Eastern Idaho

[Rubi]

I want to ride the Big Holes, or Spring Creek/Darby Canyon this coming week. Snow was pretty good up Spring Creek a few days ago when I was up there. Eleven inches has fallen since then. It looks like there could be a real storm starting on Tuesday, so things might get really good. If the snow doesn't crust up in the sun tomorrow, it should be some really good riding.

When I ride the Big Holes, I come up from Packsaddle on the East side and go up to Relay Ridge and mess around. I'm a decent rider, but don't like to do anything really extreme. I don't like tricky sidehills with "ugly below," especially in varying spring conditions.

It would be fun to meet some Rebels in this area. I've been skiing Targhee since about '91, and I just started riding sled 4 seasons ago. I've had some great riding experiences here in the last few years, but I can't find anybody to ride with this coming week. My friends from home just left, and the snow is just starting to get decent.

Thanks,
Rubi

Sounds like we have similar riding styles and a ride would be great, but I sold my 2 running sleds a month ago (while you could still sell something) and bought a summer project!! Good luck with a ride if ya get a chance to go!!

^^Where are you at? I've got two sleds along. I ride alone sometimes, but it really sucks. If I'm not with someone else, it's mainly just a sightseeing opportunity.

I am in Pocatello.. When are you going?

[Rubi]

I hurt my back skiing a few days ago, and I'm waiting for that to clear up some. They're talking about a major snowstorm on Tuesday, so I'd want to hit the fresh snow on Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe Thursday. Pocatello is kind of a long drive from here? I'm staying in Tetonia.

Hey akor, here's some pics from Spring Creek earlier this week. It wasn't great, but it certainly wasn't bad.
