Grand Mesa

[Deanearl]

How are the snow/riding conditions at Grand Mesa? Snotel shows them below normal snowpack but don't know how good the riding is with the present conditions? Rocks and stumps covered or are there mines all over the place?

Mostly covered as of like 3 weeks ago- but not much snow since so perhaps some hazards are peaking out again. I haven't bothered going up there in the last while so that probably says something. Forecast not too promising either sadly. Snow won't be particularly fresh, but perhaps closer to Glenwood Springs they got more outta the last storm than over by powderhorn?

Just got back from the mesa sledding was great.

That is good news...good fresh snow and most all rocks and stumps covered?

Where we rode everything was covered.

You can see a rock in the one picture that was uncovered while spinning up the hill

The snow is decent. Some of the super rocky areas are still super rocky, but most other areas are good to go. Thunder Mountain Lodge....

this last storm cycle missed Grand Mesa entirely. Winter Park area got hammered.

That is too bad... gotta pick up something

Anyone ride the mesa this week? Doesn't seem like it got much snow. Riding there tomorrow and wondering how conditions are?

 

[polaris dude]

They got an inch or 2 today over on the powderhorn resort side. Haven't seen significant snowfall for awhile. Thunder mountain is showing 20 inches of snow for Febuary... I was kinda hoping to go up this weekend. Not much moisture heading this way it appears though

Anyone have recommendations on where to stay a few days up on the Mesa? I am hoping to spend a few days riding up there next month.
Thanks!

Haven't stayed there but https://www.grandmesalodge.com/ looks pretty nice when I've driven by. They're pretty active on facebook too. https://www.facebook.com/grandmesalodge

Thanks! Must be a decent place. Looks like they are sold out most weekends.
