2010/11 Snow conditions Snowy Range

[TurboT]

Riding update-Sunday, March 6th. Saturday was great with limited visibility but Sunday was simply Epic!!! Greenrock had a good 2 feet of fresh powder! Enough that the WyDot plow was stuck early in the morning! Everyone knows the story, east side wind blown-the good stuff on the west side. So was not the case today. The whole range got blasted with tons of snow. Rode 130 to Quealy warming hut and broke trail from Quealy-Rollercoaster-Widowmaker. We were pushing snow over the hoods through the rollercoaster!!! By far the deepest day I've ridden this year-surpassing last weekend. Snowed the whole day so visibility was fair but amazing riding. Good base under all the fresh too! Call in sick to work on the first sunny day(Wednesday?), should be well worth the butt chew!

We are leaving WI on friday afternoon will be staying in centennial til Wed. Sounds like it should be good. Cant wait to ride. There will be 6 of us. 2 of us have been to the snowies a couple times so we have some idea of the area. If anyone will be in the area with a turbo 2 stroke polaris I would be very interested in watching it work.
Thanks Petermk

I don't know how that came about, some kinda conversation we were havin in the warming hut by Libby Flats. I hope he doesn't take it the wrong way. DP is a lot of fun. Actually we were talkin about the story behind Coldfinger so we came up with Dumbthumb. Those pics are great.

The Friendly Store is the first bar to the west and then the Bear Tree. Both are good places to drink.
