2013/14 Big Horns N/S Snow Conditions

[Ryan-41]

What kind of aircraft were you flying? I used to fly over the Horns a lot on my way from ND to Lovell and back. Never took the time to really fly the range. I'd love to fly it in the winter time!

I have a buddy that is training to be a helicopter pilot, so it was a Robinson R22!
It is so cool flying above the Mountains! Breathtaking!!

fuel

we were up this summer and they said they cant pump gas they need a new system or they wernt certified that sad when you get to be the person running a place like that and you cant have gas for the atvs or utvs

On a different note, did you know we have a organization in Sheridan that's whole purpose is pushing for more wilderness in the bighorns?

Awesome.

 

[shelbwyo]

That's enough to piss a guy off. Making rock creek a wilderness area is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. The bighorns have plenty of wilderness. The fact that they have been trying for so many years to get this to pass means they are some true greenies, probably not originally from wyoming.

"Right now, we have fuel, a warm fire and food. See ya on the mountain."

Well they must have gotten it figured out. Its hard to put too much blame on them when they are transitioning management/owners. Either way, it sounds like they will have things straightened out at high country this winter.

I to would like to know who you are WHC. Introduce yourself, let us know what your thoughts are towards the sport we all love. Talk the owner of the lodge into purchasing a membership on this site,(Corey paid for his own) support those who support the business. Pleas dispell or confirm the rumors that we have been hearing. I would love hearing firsthand daily reports of what is going on up on the mountain. Seems that the other side lodges don't care enough to be a member on here or do daily reports.

Check out our post "Who's Who at WHC" in the Wyoming forum.

Conditions Update

We haven't had any new accumulation at WHC, our snow stick shows 1'5" at this point. The storm that was predicted for earlier in the week never materialized.

It has been warming up into the 30's during the day, so we expect some settling over the next few days.

They are predicting a couple of inches of new snow this week. We will see what really happens!

With regard to the conversation about fuel. We have it, we can pump it and our price is $4.95 this winter.

Hope to see you all soon!

Big Horn Snow

Happy Tuesday everyone!

We received 2" of new snow overnight, that puts us at 1'8" at the Lodge right now. It's a chilly -8°, but the sun is shining!

Hope you all have a great day!

Hoping for deep snow so we can come visit you this winter. Are you going to do the early booking special like they did last year? Thanks.

This may sound like a petty b!&ch, but when reporting snow depth could you report in inches please. It's just a mental thing, but 20 inches sounds better to me than 1 foot 8 inches

Mtx.

You shouldn't call your 800cc skidoo a 800 anymore. You need to call it your skidoo summit X 48.6 cubic inch, 154"

 

[mtsummitx]

Boy you guys have no sense of humor!!!! Mow, 800 sounds better than 48.6, larger #!!! Same thing with 20 vs. 1'8" bigger #'s. Get it???

For someone that is the continual smarta$$ on this site you have very little room to criticize me.

Don't get me wrong. I'm still being a continual smart azz. And believe me. There is always room to criticize!! But deep down inside, I think you do really care about the way HCL is posting snow depth. Therefore you have set yourself up for the mow to take its course.

Hahaha. I appreciate the humor... It's hard to gauge humor given the earlier content on this thread!

I agree tho, inches do sound more impressive.

And that, like herpes, you just have to let run it's course. Lol!!!

No biggie. Just like your OCD. there's a medication for that.
