How much snow up there? It is worth the ride?

37" on the TOWER SnoTel. Hasn't snowed significantly in over a month. The big system that is hitting IDAHO is completely missing Colorado.
Guys from SD will tell you it's epic. I wouldn't take the time off work, spend money on fuel and lodging and the time to drive here for 37" of snow on top of 48"+ rocks.
Just stay in touch and watch the weather. Then reschedule.

Here is a short video of my 12yr old trying his new helmet cam on the 26th.

The snow is tracked up and hard in all the common places. There are rocks and stumps just about everywhere you go. The snow in the trees has turned to sugar in the last week. It is ride able but not much fun. Pretty sad for the end of December in northern colorado.

Is there more in Utah?
Yep, that's why Phatty and Ryan are in Wolf Creek. Utah is in worse shape.
Nope....there pretty much isn't jack anywhere, and it looks to me like what people are calling "snow" in SOCO would be about "normal" for the first week of december anywhere else .... there just isn't **** anywhere and the forcasts I've seen basically said its gonna be that way all winter long
about a week late for soco pow...
avys a plenty though with the high winds that loaded slopes the last few days.
besides a few naturally released ones we saw yesterday...I triggered this after dropping the cornice
would have been a different story if I was sidehilling across

What kinda shape is wolf creek in?
If they don't get a healthy dose of snow soon, that place is done also. Since it's the only place that has snow deeper than 36" consistantly people are hitting it in droves and soon every nook and cranny will be tracked up.
I've got a few FIB buddies riding buff today, I'll see if I can get a report from them as to what they thought. They were coming in from the E side.
Hey Backcountyislife your status says that you finally got snow, where would that be? In Dumont near the despencary?

I dont remember us "south dakota guys" using the word EPIC snow. But compared to our sh#t brown ditches and 45 degree temp, what you have down there is a far cry better than sittin in the shop staring at our sleds we just plunked down 10 G's for. Waiting for the perfect conditions is not always an option for those of us that have to jive 6 or 7 Guys schedules just to work out a 7 to 14 hr drive trip to pound some snow. I'll just say it.....we flatlanders are not powdersnobs!!
You guys are killin me!!!
And here we are. How's Paul?

True, that's why I wouldn't spend that much on a sled if I lived in that geographic location.
But back to regularly scheduled bashing. If you SoDakkers think 4" inches of snow is deep pow, I feel bad for your wives.
bum bum bam!
