Thanks for the info!!!! Where did u ride from? We will be coming from Walden so leaving from the campground and heading right up Buff Pass... how are the power lines from there?

I would bring some a arms if you are riding up the power lines. Not enough snow yet unless you get lucky. The road is rough as there is not enough snow for the groomer to make it across the top yet.

That's 2 weeks from today,it's snowing at my house now,1 hour or so from R/E calling for 10" tonight/tomorrow.
Check out http://www.steamboat.com/ (the ski area) they have link to their live snowcam, reset around 5AM daily.Buff Pass is basically behind ski area,also check out USGS snotel site http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/webmap...yPart=E&year=2015&month=12&day=14&monthPart=E look at Tower, Rabbit Ears,Columbine and Buff Park.
You will have a great time.Rabbit Ears is easily rideable into May most years
