Turpin thanks for the constant updates, were heading out next Wed. the 10th. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the drive now.
2008/2009 Turpin Meadow Ranch & Togwotee Pass/CD Trail Update
- Thread starter TurpinMeadowRanch
- Start date
i might as well jump on the bandwagon also and say thanks for the daily updates. let us know how the riding was today. several of us are headed your way for a sunday/monday ride and would like to know what to expect and if it is worth the drive. keep in touch.
Update
Thanks guys for the support. Yesterday we did ride. The trails are way to washboardish for us. But I know that the groomers are working and the Wyoming trails staff is working to have all the trails marked by the end of next week. We should great progress by next weekend. On the riding side, we went out expecting the worst. We were pleasantly suprised. We still would like to see another foot to cover those rocks. We would say that we are average for the past 10 years. We are a foot behind in snow depths compared to last year.
The forecast is for snow for the next week. We are still waiting for the "Epic Storm" to arrive. The good news is that it could happen anytime. The following is the forecast:
This Afternoon: Partly sunny, with a high near 19. West wind around 15 mph.
Tonight: A 20 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 17. West wind between 14 and 17 mph.
Saturday: A 20 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 25. Breezy, with a west wind between 13 and 20 mph.
Saturday Night: A 20 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 16. Breezy, with a west wind between 16 and 20 mph.
Sunday: A 20 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 25. West wind between 10 and 18 mph.
Sunday Night: A 50 percent chance of snow. Cloudy and breezy, with a low around 17.

The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. Above an elevation of 8,000 feet northwest winds have formed isolated pockets of soft surface slab up to one foot in depth. These surface slabs lie upon slick crusts and weak layers of faceted snow. Humans could trigger these shallow slabs in cliff areas and on steep slopes with fresh deposits of wind drifted snow. Very little snow exists below an elevation of 7,500 feet.

Dennis- Yes we were pleasantly surprised. It was great to meet you this weekend and we had an AWESOME early season ride. The snow was sketchy down at the lodge level, and even at the Togwotee lodge level, but up top was awesome for the first ride out.
We sledded two days, the first day we rode the whole lava mountain area....mostly on the south side. It was great snow up top and lots of fun.
The second day we trailered to the summit and rode into the brooks lake lodge area. We tried to ride up towards Jules Bowl first but still too many stumps and rocks. STAY AWAY! We then headed up to upper brooks lake and right up on the wilderness border and it was sweet. Probably 3 to 3 1/2ft some good little climbs up through trees and plenty of fun boondocking hills right off the lake.
On the way out about half way down the road from the lodge we dropped to the southeast side by the snotel sight and the powerline and you could have played ALL DAY just right there. Snow was great and it was a ton of fun.
Again Dennis the stay was great and appreciate the hospitality. I am sure we will be back next year with another group of happy customers.
Update
Today is a beautiful day. Although it is a little bit too warm. We are forecasted to receive our first major storm of December over the next 48 hours. We are forecasted to receive 3 to 12 inches of new snow. We are praying for the at least 12 inches. The following is the forecast:
This Afternoon: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 27. West southwest wind around 9 mph.
Tonight: Snow, mainly after 11pm. Low around 16. West southwest wind between 7 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
Monday: Snow, mainly before 11am. High near 23. North northwest wind between 7 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

Sweeet we're leaving on Wed. some fresh pow will be nice. 6" more will help though I hope you get it.
We're going up tomorrow to mess up all the snow before you get here
JK hope you guys have a good time more snow in the forcastUpdate
Today is gorgeous day in Jackson Hole. We received 6 to 12 inches of new snow. We have 9" here at the ranch and the snotel site is indicating almost a 3' snow depth at Togwotee Pass. We are expecting another storm tomorrow night. The forecast is only for 2 to 4 inches. Our experience is that any storm could drop a significant amount of snow. Compared to last year, we are only 7 to 12 inches down in snow depth. One storm can make that up.

Snowfall Expected Next 24 Hours: 0 to a Trace"
G E N E R A L - A V A L A N C H E - A D V I S O R Y
The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. Beneath yesterday’s light snowfall, isolated pockets of surface slab lie upon slick crusts and weak, faceted layers. Backcountry travelers could trigger these slabs up to a foot in depth on steep, wind-loaded starting zones and cliff areas. At elevations below 7,500 feet, recent snow has fallen on mostly bare ground and avalanches are unlikely.
Today is gorgeous day in Jackson Hole. We received 6 to 12 inches of new snow. We have 9" here at the ranch and the snotel site is indicating almost a 3' snow depth at Togwotee Pass. We are expecting another storm tomorrow night. The forecast is only for 2 to 4 inches. Our experience is that any storm could drop a significant amount of snow. Compared to last year, we are only 7 to 12 inches down in snow depth. One storm can make that up.
The following is the Avalanche Status:

The General Avalanche Hazard is LOW. In steep, upper elevation, wind loaded avalanche terrain, isolated pockets of slab to eighteen inches in depth could be triggered by backcountry snowmobilers or skiers. Predicting the exact location of these weak isolated areas is difficult. At elevations below 7,500 feet, recent snow has fallen on mostly bare ground and avalanches are unlikely.
Let it snow!!!
