2012/13 Snowy Range snow conditions
- Thread starter Himark
- Start date
Rode again today snow above 9000 ft is actually pretty good for this time of year. Tracks we left yesterday were covered up from last nights snow only 2 to 3 inches. Wish I could stay till Thursday I think this storm is going to pan out and give some good snow for next week.
Thanks agian Newmy! There are a few of us that have been watching and waiting for a good spring storm and this looks to be it! We will be there Wed morning unloading at green rock, if your in the area swing by the red super duty with a white inline enclosed. I'm giving Chris@Michelle a call in the morning about lodging!
Looks like you may be in for some good riding..........
Enjoy it but, watch out for open creeks and freshly covered land mines.
There were lots of both becoming exposed last week.
