friends took their snow mobiles up to one our mtn lakes yesterday for some ice fishing little over 9000 ft, forest service road gates are closed , but they leave side access for snow mobiles. I'll talk to them tomorrow and see how they did. most all the animals up high have dropped down to lower elevations except black bears in hybernation. It's like another world snow drifts and wind, I still have snow at my place down lower at 6400 ft, starting to melt, elk have been around the property the last month from the storms, too damn cold for my bones.
