Cool! Praying for SNOW!
We all hope that will be no more cancellation due to lack of snow.
We also hope the snow will come in torrents, and the weather will freeze Siskiyou County solid. Last year the Dear Mountain site at 5700 feet elevation was just not cold enough to hold the snow long. Will do our best to set up contingency plans at alternate sites, but so far no location in Siskiyou County has been found that is appreciably higher, colder, snowier, with enough parking for dog trucks and open to dogs. -SSDSA
Sounds like we have the show this year !!!!
