2014/15 Togwotee Snow Conditions
- Thread starter Himark
- Start date
I spent all week out there last week. And yes it was in the upper 40's / lower 50's for temps. We for great snow all week but you had to look for it. You couldn't just hop off the trail and be in it. UP near the mtn lodge was more tracked up as normal. I still have to sort through all the pics but I will get a couple up shortly.
Rode Monday through Thursday. All easily accessible areas are pounded. We found good snow in the tight trees and in a few creeks and draws. If you don't like challenging riding, forget about it. The best riding was in the afternoon after the snow warmed up, but the snow was still very challenging to ride - firm on top and loose faceted snow underneath. Conditions are degrading fast with the warm temperatures.

Not sure what "heavy snow showers" translates to in inches.
