How much snow is too much? I think 6" of powder is about it....
Too much of a good thing

I think once today's snow packs down it will be rideable. Hard packed vs powder makes a huge difference

I was out riding in about 6" of powder this morning. I hit up a local golf-course and a couple other off-road stretches. I was on 4.8" tires. The key was to keep some momentum and I could cut threw it. But, if I stopped it was a challenge to get going again. Needed to do a sort-of CX mount and then I could get rolling again. Also, I needed to avoid turning the front wheel too sharply or it would wash out real easily. So, I'd say, I was about at the limit of enjoyable riding at 6". I was on a couple of roads that had been plowed early, but then had a few inches of new snow. That was a perfect depth to really enjoy.

Couldn't get it going today, just too much of a good thing, at Ferber circle.
Just truck tire tracks, that's all, I was hoping for snowmobile tracks.
Between 10 and 12 inches of snow

That must've been quite an effort just getting to the circle. Looks like I won't be riding Waway for awhile.

All we need are a few snowmobiles to pack it down

Great Peice Meadows in Fairfield. It's a hidden gem, and nobody can figure out if you're actually allowed to be there or not, and there is no parking anywhere. But it's 2,500+ acres and 25 miles of quad trails.
