Madres got a lot of snow now. Snotel is a great place to start tho, when looking to see who's got good snow. Snotel is usually lower than what can be found tho. They got over 5 feet of fresh pow last weekend! My brother was there riding and said it was awesome!!

I would recommend looking through the old posts for WYOGEO on his rental house in Encampment. He is a friend of mine and I have been to his rental and it is comfortable, sleeps six, and enough parking for a couple trailers. I think is six miles up the highway to the parking area where you unload the sleds. The mountain is hard to beat, looks like snotel is showing new snow the last couple days too,and forecasting more. And my sled is broke down!!

Have fun
