Just got back Sunday from riding out of Bearlodge. Around the lodges the snow is a little low, but when you go south, southwest, west, and northwest we found waist to shoulder deep snow consistently. We had a great time. The new 850's rode very well. The ridges are mostly bare, but we got stuck plenty. Lot of avalanches so be safe.

I can mirror this report. We got back on 2/10 and had similar conditions. total snow depth was about 10" short of the same date range last year, but still pretty decent depths. found a lot of spots where it was pure sugar and you had to work to get around. no rocks on this trip. it was getting tracked up the last day, but a few inches and a good wind will take care of that.

The heal click is old technology.

It’s all about the ass clap these days.

Rode 1 and 2nd. Most rocks are covered and anything in the open is set up. Trees are sugary and deep, have a plan! Find some wind protected areas for best snow. Went by High Country one day and south and west another. Was a good trip overall.

It was mid 20s when we unloaded around 10:30. Only road for about 1/2 today because we had a sled go down in the group.
