Great snow up there Sat and Sun. Although the light was a little flat sometimes.....whoops!!
2014/15 Snowy Range snow conditions
- Thread starter Himark
- Start date
Here's a few. My 15 yo daughter went with me, and this is only the 3rd time on a sled. She's getting the hang of it, but she definitely has the bug! Conditions were great for her to learn a little more balance and throttle control. Carving is addictive!
Parking lot was so full when we left at 2 pm that trucks/trailers were parked way passed the normal area. Took the road to a single lane for a good 1/4 mile. Glad we showed up when we did at 9 so we still had a decent parking spot.
Hope the person that broke their leg up there is doing ok. Heard they got their foot caught in the toe hold while trying to avoid a tree well and the sled rolled into it, pulling his leg over. Don't know much else about it, but the ambulance left just after we did.

Sunday was an awesome day up there! We definitely tore up any untouched powder that was found. No pics but I do have video when I get a chance to do something with it. I hope the injured guy has a speedy recovery. We rode out behind them on U.
lost electronics
Found a spot locator around 330 today on the trail by green rock parking lot. Give me a call so I can get it back to the right person. thanks. JT 605-391-0797

Anybody going up this weekend?
Anything forecasted? I got my buddies talked into going about 24 hours TOO LATE for last weekend so now we're eagerly watching the forecast.

Same here. Had all intentions of being out last weekend then 80 closed. There is snow in forecast. Hard to tell how much tho.
Same here. If 80 wasnt closed we would be there. We take 80 for 14 hours straight
We drove 11 hours to Snowies last weekend and the pass between Cheyenne and Laramie was closed on I80. You can take Hwy 25 from Cheyenne down to Ft. Collins and Hwy 287 back up to Laramie. Its only 1 hour more than going over the pass.
Good to know. I think that got shut down later on Friday also. It was a mess. Just stayed home.

Anyone ride last weekend?
I was out Monday. The base was warm/soft with about 4" new (wet) on top. Did a few snowboard laps on Lake Marie hill then the smaller couloir above the lake. Good spring conditions, but the pow was gone.
4/30/15
The wife and I where up on Thursday. Not to bad conditions, soft snow is always better than hard snow.

Was also up on Thursday. Ole you must have been the only other rig up there. Rode out of green rock. Things melted noticeably during the day. Looks to me like there is only one or two days left before you have to snow bash up toward the switchbacks to unload. Wydot dropped off the first piece of equip to open the pass. Good snow still. Soft and fun for spring snow. Still fun to side hill in the back side trees. Beats working or couch surfing so get on up there.

WyDot has started plowing 130. From what I've heard they are to lake Marie on the west side.
There is 2+ in the trees at the west gate..
Sorry I don't know any more.
Looks like my last hurrah will be this weekend up in the Snowies. Does anyone know if there's enough room to pull off at the Brooklyn Lake road before the gate? I assume the road closed signs are still down at the lodge?
Is Hwy 130 gonna be open for this weekend? Haven't seen anything on it
