Has anyone ridden Buff Pass in the last few days? Just curious of the conditions and snow. Any pictures at the tower would be greatly appreciated.

We were going towards Buff Pass from RE on Thursday, never made it that far, great snow everywhere. Deep enough to fry a belt and had a great day of boondocking and endless pow The Buff and RE areas are good, just hope it doesnt get to warm in the next few days......

Went Sunday only to find 80 mph ground blizzard and 4' snow drifts across the road about 3 miles from the parking area. I did ride today between the Ears and Buff and the snow was pretty Chitty, 44 degrees up there the last 3 days.
