[QUOTE="E-Ticket, post: 878227, member: 20985"] Susan and I just talked to Strick. Here's a real brief, high-level summary: == This was the biggest snow in the Reno area since 1916. They received up to 19" in some areas == Off and on continued cold temperatures have not let them get up to normal daily highs (40-50s). This is one of the reasons why the snow is still hanging around. == Strick still has 2-3" inches of snow in his front yard and a 5' pile of snow in his front yard from shoveling out the driveway/sidewalks. Point here: it's not melting real fast. == Earlier this morning, Strick was driving on the road that goes out of Reno out to MoonRocks .. and around the area of the last sub-divisions .... was still seeing sagebrush w/ 8" piles of snow on their North-facing sides. Point here: if it is seeing/getting sun...things are melting. If it's on the North/dark sides...it's not melting much or very fast. == While we were talking (Strick was on his cell phone driving) -- Strick was seeing a mix or rain/sloppy sleet hitting his windshield. == More info: One local race was cancelled a while back... and an upcoming race will be two loops of the lower elevations. They are not doing any high-elevation loops at all -- even the experts can't do them. Summary: If it's high, sun-shielded, or in a gully ... it will still be snow covered and either impassable or difficult. If it's open to the sun.... and the warming trend continues - the lower, open areas should be okay for general riding. Randy's opinion: hmmmmm.... If a miracle occurs and a Pineapple Express warming trend rolls through.... it's still do-able. But short of that, it sounds like our favorite ride areas (the Waterfall, Pod Racer II canyon, the goat trail up on top) might be unusable. We are not bailing yet -- but we are *starting" to consider passing on this year and aiming at the 2005 ride. :ugg: Sincerely, Randy B/Susan P [/QUOTE]
