Hopefully some people will start giving some reports. We are heading out late February staying at Albany Lodge. Had to cancel our trip this past winter due to lack of snow early January.
Fingers crossed for a better season.

I’ve heard that the snow is good for this time of year. Good break in condition. Also good “Breaking / Heavy Repair “ conditions. You have to know which meadows are good for early season riding. “A” arms are taking a beating. There’s slightly more snow at this time than there was last year. Forecast looks good for another system the first of next week.

Many likely already know about the SnoTel site map. But I find this very useful to track snowfall and other conditions. Just go to the site and pan the map...click on the dot for the station you wish to check conditions on.
Example for Brooklyn lake:

Yeah right now it's dealer snow but receiving more snow this week !!
dealer snow??
Dealer Snow= More money in the dealers pocket from arms, skis, bulkheads and tunnel damage due to low snow conditions all from riding before the snow is deep enough to cover the land bombs

Haha thanks for the clarification...makes sense!
NAILED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
snotels need to be 50-60 and even then you better watch for humps in snow.
hopefully old corral in centennial will start emailing their rider report soon. go to the website and sign up for the email to be sent to you
Seems to be another missed forecast. Only a few inches so far from what sno-tel is showing.
WOW !!! Snowies got pounded yesterday !!! Interstate 80 is still closed !!
Well what’s going on here?
Went up the 26th. East side is still pretty thin. North and west sides are much better, but still thin. Be careful venturing off the trails. their are still a lot of rocks and stumps barely covered. If the forecast holds true for this weekend, it should be pretty good next week. We were told that the gap lakes were not very good yet. Little snow cover on those hills and they had noticed slushy conditions around the lakes edge.
I rode albany to the north on tuesday very thin snow. I would say 24" would be generous in most places LOTS of land mines. went east and west of the rob roy and not much difference. Wednesday rode out of green rock, went west and rode south of the highway but north of french creek on the west side. No tracks but awesome snow. I would say 4-5ft but not much base. we were on 850T 165 and it took all the sled we had to play in there so be careful. Thursday we stayed closer to greeenrock parking in some of the small meadows north of the highway and just west of the O trail. was a bit thin but didn't find hardly any land mines. I would still be very careful on the east side. Also on wednesday tried to cross the gap and turned back due to the lack of snow on the gap the boulders were not covered yet.
Anybody riding here today?
