Another 20 inches at Thunder Mountain Lodge

Kieper · Nov 30, 2015

We have received another 20 inches in the past 3 days here in Western Colorado. I would estimate a 4 foot base on north facing slopes in our area around Thunder Mountain Lodge. We are also very close to completing our 24 hour "snow stake" so you guys can watch it snow for yourself. As soon as I have the link to that I'll post it, help me share it because it is the only one of its kind on The Grand Mesa. Thanks

Having a webcam on the mountain like that would be sweet! I end up watching the cdot cam out on the highway but something more accurate would be great.

Grand Mesa Lodge has had a web cam up for years.

Conditions

I agree that riding off trail in most spots is risky right now on The Grand Mesa. Check out our webcam/snowstake once we get it up....it's gonna be sweet with playback options up to 3 months...Thanks

The next storm looks pretty good! :face-icon-small-hap
Should be some good snow over the Christmas break. We will be up staying at Alexander. Wondering if the snow has set-up a good base yet?

There was about a 3 foot base last Saturday. Set up fairly well with decent powder on top. Another foot or so and should be close to bomb proof.

Another foot so far at Thunder Mountain Lodge

Our webcam is now operational! http://thundermountainlodge.net/snow/
Very soon I will also be adding a thermometer and clock, but this should help all of you see what the snow is doing here on the Mesa. Check out the playback options! Also, written on the snow stake is the time and date it was last cleared. And yes, we are fully operational with cabins, sleds, guides, and espresso! Thanks

Nice work on the webcam. Be up in the morning to pick up dads rental sled

pics of today at thunder mtn lodge. lake pics are of twin lake and my daughter on 700 dragon 163. other pic is of me on hill south of twin lake

real world assessment of snow conditions

four feet of snow with ZERO base

lakes are frozen with two feet of cover on slushy ice and no traction

last pic is of my sled that was parked at noon for lunch when storm rolled in

make own assessment of new snow fall but I'm saying eight inches and still dumping

Wow thanks-weather looks like the GM will get more!

finally the snow is setting up. got another foot overnight and base is taking shape at about two feet down.

big time props to jeff at thunder mtn lodge. more than willing to help out guests in any way he can. even an idiot that forgot to plug in his pick up and ran batteries dead.

as for the lodge I will definitely stay here again. very centrally located to some of the better mtn riding but also lets family members sit on trail as everyone plays.

also he has fresh(as in two week old) 91 non fuel for those that need it.

here are a few pics from today

doghouse21 · Dec 25, 2015

When we left cabin this morning there was a solid 8" new overnight and still really snowing

I take it that the lodge has recently been rebuilt?

Your website shows the cabins and riding, but other than peak from driving in the driveway - not much on the lodge.
