2018/19 Snowy Range Snow Conditions
- Thread starter Himark
- Start date
So is this like the question that gets asked all the time (when is the next storm due in)?
Really, you think those of us from WYOMING can all predict when WYODOT is going to open the roads.
FYI, due to the excessive accidents after WYODOT opens roads in the past 5-7 years, they've been holding off till the roads are almost perfectly dry.
You're in SE Wyoming during early spring, go belly-up to the bar and wait a week till any road is open.
When 80 closes don't go to bar first get room first cause they fill fast. Closing bar down and sleeping in truck is not much fun.
Sounds like you know from first hand experience. Lol.

A true Bison fan will not worry about a room until the last bar has closed.
That is correct but the risk of sitting in a truck after putting in a 12 hour bar shift is little crazy. The mule deer in Rawlings realy like nabisco crackers after a storm. We fed them in the am waiting for I 80 to open.
When do they stop grooming and pull the warming huts? I will be out there on the 28 through April 2 looks like a big storm should be there then.
From WyoParks web site:
Snowmobile trail grooming season is generally mid- December through April 1, pending adequate snowfall and available funding.
Conditions - plenty of snow for sure. We rode North of 130 last weekend and it was perfect for carving, sidehilling, etc. Many times, when stopping, I wanted to make sure I was pointed slightly downhill or on an existing track because I didn't want to get stuck.

Wanted to leave today but it will be tomorrow I'm sure roads will be great. Who else is riding here this weekend
Just got home riding was good for spring riding 10 inches of new snow in the madres on Tuesday.
Did you get a chance to ride the Snowy side? I am headed out Sunday staying in Centennial and riding out of Greenrock.
Yes rode out of chains end you will not be disappointed. Wish I could have stayed longer. Go to queally hut and ride north west.
Thanks for the advise. The last time I rode the Snowies in April they hauled out the Queally hut on use. It was there the first day we rode and gone the next. Only a hole in the snow was left.
Awesome spring riding today and yesterday. Noone out yesterday, only three trucks at green rock at noon and only a handful today. We drove over to Albany in the truck this evening and the Nelson hut was in the parking lot. We didn't go out to quealy so im not sure if it's there still or not.

I'm pretty sure they pulled it out for the season earlier this week ... Snowy Range Snowmobile club put a post on Facebook out that trail grooming for the season was over April 1st.
Anyone care to guess or share their forecast for next couple days? Think this will be a major event or just flurries?
