2015/16 Snowy Range snow conditions

et3046 · Feb 6, 2016

Any updates? Getting pretty tracked up? Looking to come out over presidents day weekend. Trying to decide between here or steamboat area. Looks like its going to be hot so not expecting anything great. Thanks!

Likewise, looking for updates, just cancelled our Big Horns trip. Been going there for the last 6 years. Gonna try the snowies instead for the first time. Staying at Albany Lodge. Looks warm but sounds like a better base then the horns. Any info would be much appreciated!

Rode the range wednsday thru Saturday mostly rode meadows because it was pretty windy. Found lots of untracked powder if you go off the beaten path. There is a very good base with quite a few spots of 5 plus feet of snow. You should be good for the trip

Spring conditions yesterday but we did find some untouched decent snow in the trees where the sun did not do any damage. It started snowing when we were eating breakfast this morning and has been going ever since. Not a lot of accumulation yet - but better then yesterday for sure.

If the top end of the forecast comes through there will be 10" by Monday night. The flakes will have to get a lot bigger for that, so I am hoping for 6". 26 degrees outside right now, so hopefully this storm can get going.

Friday was the last decent day. It was 50 degrees on Friday. Riding was average, snow was soft due to warm temps. Saturday it was complete garbage. Snow was crusty even in the trees we rode in. Oh, and it's been blowing 30+mph constantly. Today we rode for a while. It's snowing sugar (not nice flakes) . Visibility was poor. We loaded up and headed out before visibility got terrible. With how windy it is...... I didn't feel like camping in the mountains

What are your thoughts for this weekend, next week for making a 1,000 mile trip to the Snowies. It will be our first time to the Snowies. Should we hold out and hope for a March storm?

We are in the Snowies right now and we are heading home early, not worth riding here right now. Plenty of base, but it was 50 degrees on Friday and everything is rock hard. No for sure now in the forecast right now.

Would not make a 1st good impression right now. Calln for mid 50s this week. If you can be flexible hold out, 2 heaviest snow months are comin up.

We canceled our trip for next week and are hoping for a big storm in March. Pretty flexible on vacation time. We'll just stay packed to leave at a moments notice. :face-icon-small-hap

It wasn't the greatest riding as if there was 2ft of fresh but we had a blast through sunday. We found excellent snow untracked in the trees left and right. We found good pow in ravines and awesome riding. If you think it was garbage and sucked you need to try a lot harder and explore. Sunday was so windy we couldn't see 2ft in front of us. Found a couple tree sections not in the wind right off the trail fresh and untracked. Oddly one of the best trips I had

It still sucks. Hard snow even in the north facing treed slopes.

coyoteman · Feb 17, 2016

I drove up sunday and turned around and went home without unloading. Glad I was out there for business not just wasting fuel.

110mph wind gusts ought to help matters. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-106.29779797363281&lat=41.378945549242246

Snowmow · Feb 17, 2016

Anyone have an update on the family that lost the mother in the snowies recently?
