[Davey019]

Thats to bad. I love going up there. It just seems like the snow is not the greatest there anymore. We stayed at BearLodge last year and seemed fine.

From the website...


''DON’T MISS OWNING IT BEFORE ANOTHER SEASON BEGINS! After 26+ years of owning and operating Bear Lodge, Rick & Roberta have decided to sell and let someone else experience the opportunity. ''

It has been for sale for a couple of years now.

It has been for sale for a couple of years now.

Probably five or six years. The whole place is pretty much used up unfortunately.

Bear Lodge website has been down for a while. Not sure when it will be back up if at all.

We have a trip planned there soon. Might call and make sure they haven't locked the doors...

We ate lunch up there on Wednesday. So they are still open but I did see a flyer inside that says it is for sale so it will be interesting to see what happens

Looking for a ride report for the Burgess Junction area, anyone been up there lately? Headed up Friday the 14th for 3 days. It’s been 4 years since I’ve been to the Northern Bighorns.

Also looking for any report on snow/avy conditions. Ive seen some pictures and looks like they have gotten alot of snow in the last week or so. Be heading that way on Saturday for a 5 day trip.

Was up feb 1 to feb 7 at bear lodge. Snow ok when got there nothing great but we got 6" on 2nd day and then a foot 2days later and that really improved conditions. I believe it's been snowing almost every day since we left. Should be awesome up there if weather reports are accurate

Thanks for the update

We rode there 2/6-2/9. About 17" additional snow while we were there. Armpit deep most of the time when we got stuck. Bluebird day Sunday when we had to leave of course.

I would guess avalanche conditions are still elevated. They went a while with not much snow, then received 2 decent dumps. We saw a few natural slides, but stayed away from those areas. Pushed a lot of snow when going down hills.

Just got back from Bear lodge - Rode Monday Feb. 24 - Fri. Feb. 28. Excellent riding across the mountain with bumper deep powder found in trees/ravines in the right places if willing to dive or sidehill in. You will likely need to search a little harder now than we did as I am sure the weekend riders and warmth scratched up the easy to find cuts, but given the large area, you should have no problem finding good riding if willing to get off the beaten path. Definitely lots of stuck possibilities in about any direction. We spent a lot of time digging and pulling!
