Contemplating a trip out to the one of the two. I'm wondering what the riding conditions are like up there currently. Heard a few mixed reviews second hand, everything from great conditions to tons of debris everywhere because of low snow amounts.
Can anyone provide some real time data about riding conditions?

The last two weeks have made a huge difference in our snow conditions. Last Sundays storm laid down another 12-18 inches of heavy wet snow that really has helped with coverage along with helping to stabalize the snowpack.
I've ridden 6 out of the last 13 days including today, with every ride getting better. There is a snowstick located at Skyway (NW side of the GM) and it is reading just under 6 feet. I wouldn't hesitate making a trip to the TML at this point.

Give Mark a call at TML, he can give you realtime info since he's there. Rode up there today, Like Bohica said, snows a little wet but really helping with coverage. Its as good as its been all year with another storm supposed to hit tomorrow. Some new snow and some cold temps and it'll be tough to beat

We found fresh everywhere we went. As far as pushing snow, I did get stuck going downhill once.:face-icon-small-sho
