This is Rob From Rockin' M Ranch. We rent fully equipped cabins (with hot tubs) and Polaris Snowmobiles. We are located 4 miles South of Alpine on the Banks of the Salt River. The Greys River trailhead is about 4-5 miles from our location and the Idaho "McCoy" trailhead is about 1/2 mile. Our phone number is 307-654-2288 and website:rockinmranchwyoming.com.
I will do my best to update this post throughout the winter. I will relay info from guests, my own accounts, and Snowtel info. I check the sites frequently.
As along with the rest of the West we have had a warm slow start for snow this fall. We also had a slow start last year and look how that ended up. Many of November storms were to warm to snow in the Valley but it has appeared that the snow level has been about 7500-8000 feet. Most of Snowtel sites have been hovering between 12" to 20" throughout November. The good news is that if you can get to above 8000 feet their is a good base with a lot of moisture in the snow. The bad news is we will need to be extra careful for avys this year. I haven't yet ridden this year but hope to ride Willow Creek out of bedford within the week (15 miles from here). I'll try to give a report. As of a few weeks ago people were riding the "South End" out of Afton. Reports were a couple feet of very hard snow.
Yesterday we received 3 to 5 inches here in Alpine and about 6-10 inches in the mountains.
Current Snowtel sites are as follows 12/09/08 11:00a.m.
Blind Bull 8650 feet (located 26 miles up Greys River Trail) 23.1"
Spring Creek Divide 9000 feet (located South of Afton head of Greys River) 23"
