We are planning to head out to ride the 17-20, and will be staying in Fort Collins. Haven't been to the area before, but was wondering what the closest off the trail riding is? We are not looking for anything crazy, just hoping to find snow due to the fact that where we live in SD has had maybe 10 in. total this year and it has all melted.

However, if you already have a place to stay in F/C then make the trek to the snowies for riding (about 1.5 hours+). For about the same amount of travel time you can go over Cameron Pass to Gould and ride over towards Grand Lake. Snowies would be better than Gould though....

Ya, the reason we were going to stay in Fort Colliins is that it would be free to stay, but driving 3 hours a day + to ride outways the free place to stay. We are not looking for great snow, just snow in general for the fact that no one in our group has even ridden yet this year. How is the snow in the Snowies looking, or our other option is going to Waldon.

Fort Collins is a fun town. Go eat at Rodizio in Old Town!
Best riding will be Waldon or the Snowies.

Walden. Night life is waiting for your turn on the sheep. Just kidding. Ain't no sheep in walden either.
If you wanna party it up then the FC or Laramie is your best bet. After riding in the Snowies. Cameron Pass is a slow pass, uses a crap ton of fuel as you can never get good speed.
I's stick with riding the Snowies.

The Snowies are pretty good right now, some of the better snow I've found in the area, really....but it's in the trees. I haven't been to widow-maker, so I don't know how that side is, but the Albany/Green Rock area were good on Sat and they've had another foot or so.
