2013/14 Snowy Range snow conditions

Trip 2 on my new pro in the Snowies! Asphalt/ditch ride from gate to outhouse hillclimb (Lake Marie), but the meadows right off the highway once you get on top have ~30 inches. Started snowing on us up there around 4:30-5:00 up there this evening and hasn't stopped. 3 fresh inches in Laramie and still coming down. Guess I am going to have to take the girlfriend up Saturday before the football game to push her into an upgrade!

I LOVE MY PRO
 
I think they don't start grooming till Dec. 15th, but don't hold me on that. Wyoming 130 is closed.
 
hope they do a better job this year! last 2 years they neglect the Saratoga side! Albany must buy more beer for the drivers!

I think it is more a function of where the groomers are "based" (where they park them and fuel them) then anything. The trails back and forth to "home" get groomed more often. I.E. - Years ago when Ray groomed out of his place off of T trail - the trails around there were always nice since he went in and out of there each night he groomed.

I don't think they have a cat/groomer that is run out of the west side - someone please correct me if I am wrong.

This is manmade, we fired up the guns 11-1.
 
Put 35 miles on today, Sand Lake Rd. Much more snow on the north/west areas. New sled ran great! I measured 105cm (~42") of snow in several places in a little field I played in. There was 14" of fresh, a little over 12" of older snow, and about 12" of firm base but the depth varies widely as you move around.

Rode today. The wind was blowing the snow around pretty good. In the trees and less windy spots there was 16"-24" of fresh but still a lot of bare spots in between the good stuff. Sorry no pictures, I was to busy having fun.
 
Put on another 50 miles today. Loading up afterwards I thought a tree might fall on me.. I do have photos, cause I'm too out of shape to ride without a break (too much of this :typing: in my life). Definitely had to be careful, but with the clearer skies I was a little more daring today. Dug a quick pit to see what the snowpack looks like so far, total depth in that photo was 80cm, just north of Sand Lake about 1/2 mile. There are lot's of bare spots (roads, open areas) but there's enough if you look for it and are careful.

So this storm comin through this week, is it gonna amount to anything? Forecast I saw said up to a foot. I dont want to get my hopes up but I'm gettin a little antsy in my pantsy to ride!
