2015/16 Snowy Range snow conditions

[Himark]

Rode last weekend and its darn tracked up. You can manage to find some stuff but have to look real hard. Nice thing it was a bright sunshiny day and you could see for miles. Even a bad day of snow is still a good day to ride if the sun is shining!

Have been hearing of a chance of snow at the end of the week. Hopefully it will increase in size. Heading that way on Saturday.

Went up yesterday.

8" -24" of low moisture snow, with a good base in the trees.

Most of the landmines are getting covered.

It is nice back in the trees. Definitely need to work to find it.

Heading out there in 1 week with 4 buddies who haven't been our that way before, it's been a couple of years since I've been out was wondering if you still needed to buy a parking pass like in previous year's. Can't wait couldn't ride all last year and I have a major mountain itch that needs to be scratched.

The Albany lot is the only one that is a fee area. There is a self serv box in the lot for $5 per day. If you plan you park there more than 5 days a year you can pick up an annual pass at the Forest Service office in Laramie for $25 (this pass is also good for day use in the summer for fee areas).

If you ride out of Albany and park in the forest service lot you will have to pay for a pass. If you ride from Green Rock on Centennial side, no pass is needed. Have fun and make sure to bring all of your avy gear!

Ben, I must be a pretty crappy rider if you are 'average'.

 

[skivoice]

Thanks for the info. As far as avy gear goes, shovel probe beacon and COMMON SENSE are all packed and ready to go.

Ha, I got a kick out of the 'average' description as well.

 

[ramblerman]

Albany Parking permits can also be purchased at the fly store

Haha ... well.. it seems like every time I feel like a stud, I get slapped!



But, i did pass burandt a few weeks ago (on the highway) ....so that's gotta add like 20hp and make me dangle like nobody's business haha




Thanks for the kind words guys, and thank everyone who reached out!

We are hitting there on thursday. We are at the hampton. Stayed there before lot seams OK you can drive all the way around. $80 for a double queen no fridge. 85 with fridge.

 

[Bedhead]

When we stay in Laramie we park at Green rock up past the ski hill. But you can also drive to Albany from Laramie too.
