Anyone know how far they have gotten on plowing highway 150 (mirror lake loop road) coming from Kamas? I see someone posted that they have opened the gate on the Bear River side and you can trailer a ways up the road. Can you do that on the west side? Looking to go ride someplace high on Sunday, weather gurus are saying the snow level is going to creep up to 11,000+ FT Sunday afternoon before the cold front comes through. Might be a rainy ride.
HWY 150 Plowing Status??

its only plowed to the ranger station,
not much room to turn around if there is more than 4 or 5 trucks and trailer there.
they need to plow out some more room for us die hard sleders!

I believe the OP was asking about the Kamas side of the hwy.
Who cares about the Kamas side. LOL
Road out of the kamas side today... Plowed about 2-3 miles past the gate with a decent turnaround ( big truck + 18 foot trailer was tight)
Make sure when you park you don't block the turnaround, had to yell at a few idoiots today.
Road is ok for first couple of miles, but many spots are down to pavement. Murdock basin turnoff has plenty of snow. Anything above murdock has a lot. No chance they can plow above that. Prepair for whoop, there's about a million of them!

As of 06-02-2011 the Kamas side is plowed to about a half mile or so below murdock basin turn-off. The road is a bit whooped out but no more bare spot's. Riding is still great especially for June.

i drive up there daily to run the dog on snow. Currently cut to 20.6 miles up. so, as stated just below Murdock Basin turn off. Trial Lake turn is at 26 and Bald summit is at 30 I think. so 5.5 miles of admission fee (whopps) before endless riding. amazing. It's 2 feet deep on the road at 20.6, 4' deep at Provo falls and 6 to 8' deep at Trial lake. June 1 is usually about a mile in most directions from the Bald Summit. this year there is no less than 500 Sq Miles of snow to ride here. EPIC! and yes.. some dumb asses keep parking in the turn around. WTF? so I leave them kind notes. haa

We parked at the same location Friday, 1 mile below Murdock Basin turnoff. It wasn't till 1 mile (1.5 on the way out) down the road that the snow was continuously covering the road, mostly spotty but a couple good several hundred yard stretches of bare asphalt. I imagine that by today they will have it pushed to the gorge area. Riding conditions were very good, First of May type snow, lake's below 10k are starting to get damp on the edges. Still a ton of snow up there as you can see below!
Making progress I see...
Anyone been up 35? is that opened up yet?

Island Peak or Cone Peak as its referred to Has the most snow i have ever seen on it. Usually you can climb it by picking your way through large rocks. Its a wild ride, but i put my route to the top on there. So nice to still have alot of snow!!!
