New Update
I was up there Sat and Sun, they have maybe 8" of new in the last week or 2. Riding was pretty good in some areas and wind blown in other. All in all I would say it is better than last year, and getting better. As always, more snow will help. The pictures posted last week show it pretty well.

Eureka Update
Rode north and south of the highway at Eureka yesterday. There was about the same amount of snow as there was when we rode at the end of January, but it was wind blown. Trails were hard-packed. Swamps were marginal. We were surprised by something solid each time we went boon docking. Needs more snow to play around off the trails. Lunch at the Lodge was good though.

How far back did you go on the north side?

Any new reports? Did they get any new snow or did it warm up like here in the Valley? Thanks.

Eureka Update
Took some visiting friends and relatives from back east out to Monument on Saturday, and it was windblown with gravel showing. Tried south of the highway toward the glacier, and the swamps were windblown. We found some good - not great - riding off the trails heading toward Lake Louise on Sunday. The snow in the valleys around the trees was deep enough to have some fun, especially for our visitors who are used to fast trail riding. The main trails were hard-packed but pretty smooth. It was about 10 below zero at night and 10 above during the day.

When isn't Monument windblown? ~ Also, you didn't go far enough to Lk Louise...we went to Lake Louise and found some awesome powder about 10 miles this side of Lk Louise.
I also heard that the powder by Tyone Lake is epic this year.Eureka has good snow you just need to know where to go to get to it. The cold temps are that for sure - cold! It was -15 on Sunday when we got up and a friend of ours said it -40 at his cabin at Lk Louise.
I love the cold!
Went Sunday and it sucked donkey balls. Thats all I have to say about that.

Haha LOL @ Rev Guy. I stayed at my buddies cabin Fri/Sat... come home sunday... rode about half a mile from the cabin and said screw it... went and destroyed Jager and Coors... Had fun - but not worth the drive if your main intention is riding.
You Just have to know where to go!!
I went up Wednesay through Sunday and had a blast, found good snow in the valleys and tore it up. Without pictures it is worthless!!!!!! The pic's don't show how good it was!
