Curiosity was getting the best of me so had to take a drive up after work and check things out. Was nice to see everything covered in white again! Was snowing hard and decently deep down low so I thought it would be pretty awesome up high but it didn't get much deeper. Can't complain for mid october though!

This was passed to me the other night. Nothing to get excited about yet. But lakes are starting to freeze over.

Whats the probability of a thanksgiving weekend ride?

It use to be great. That was my first ride for about 6 yrs in a row, then it sucked for awhile.
Hoping to make the turkey day trip this year. Doesnt look great right now, but it can change quick in the next 2 weeks.


FYI....The deepest powder I've ever ridden in was on a thanksgiving weekend in the snowies. Must of been around 03-05? It DUMPED for 3 days straight. By saturday we were riding in 5-6ft of fresh and were getting stuck in the meadows. Eric

The 15 day forecast for Laramie doesn't have an high temps below 50 degrees. Seems crazy because November always seems to be one of the coldest months here. Hopefully this winter will be worth the wait.

Thanks Eric. We have gone the past 4 years in a row on turkey day to the Snowy's. Really hoping to get there this year but not looking too hot. And I think you know the guy I always ride with. Does Greg Mulherin ring a bell?

Good question... The short answer is: Im back in Iowa for now. The long answer is: Time will only tell which mountain range I land in next :) The roller coaster of life. Eric
