This is my other buddy Jaime, with his Doo buried in the same area. Notice that even though the PRO is probably carrying 124 lbs of snow in this picture, it is still ON the snow
Not a bad place to hang out and do a little shoveling though...
Looks great. FINALLY!!! I'm still amazed the creeks are open this time of year.

any snow on the mesa?
Supposed to ride kebler friday but maybe the mesa saturday if there is any snow there.

I guess all the snow is in our neck of the woods...
God has blessed us this year with great snow. Not as much as last year, but compared to almost anywhere else in the state or the West for that matter, we are looking great. Kuddos to my niece who has prayed a lot to God to keep the snow coming our way).
The attached photos are from a group that stayed at our location Feb 3rd (so during the sunbathing 60 degree weather with no snow for awhile). However, we had enough snowfall from December and early January that the base was still 5 feet and then we got hit with 2 plus feet this past weekend (Feb 20-22) and everyday since we have had new snow and the extended forecast is for more snow everyday for the next week (see link below).

We still have March 19-25 available so if anyone is interested in a great, secluded ride in/out experience please look us up.
Cheers,

I sure do get tired of these advertisements....
Lisa, you are not the only place with snow. I have put over 700 miles on my machine since mid Dec and have ridden fresh tracks every day, most of them much better than what you posted. The western slope also received 2+ feet and is predicted to receive another couple of feet this weekend with snow predicted currently everyday for the next week.
This was my ride Feb 3 and 4th in Vail. Sure looks a LOT better than the concrete in your pics.
Good luck renting your cabin. LOL
Sorry folks, I just had my fill of the "We are the only place in the west with snow" mantra.

Powder. This is not a bash, and I hope you don't take it this way. Why even comment on Lisa's post? I did not see anything offensive regarding said post. She posted information regarding conditions. Factually she isn't really too far off base. Conditions south and on the Mesa have been POOR!!!! No one can refute that. Its great you have the miles on your sled you have. You are much more of an enthusiast than I. I really don't think Lisa is saying they have the only snow in the state, just giving her report on the conditions at hand. Positive and up beat posts such as Lisa's really aren't that bad a thing. IMO.
Again, no ill will intended, just didn't see the harm in Lisa's posts.
Powder, kill that new snow that's coming. Looks like its going to be a great weekend.

Both good points.
Imo the "availability dates" bug me. Too many ads. Just post good current (within 48 hrs) pics n brief description and let ur sig link do the rest. The better the pics r the more phone will ring. Heck get burandt out there to huck something big with a professional photographer. Post up pics. C wut happens. Pix worth 1000 words. Tired of sifting through flattops conditions in the buff/re thread.

YES, Going back tomorrow for the stuff we never even got too! How soon can you get here
I rode Red Mtn today, it is stupid deep 3-4 feet, almost unrideable
The thing that rubs me a little wrong is that when Lisa posts, it is ALWAYS an ad. Does she even ride? Sort of taints the "contributions" IMO.
Sorry if that was too abrasive, I just get soooo tired of people doing pushy selling in so many aspects of our lives today. Just frustrated me to see it come to sledding too.

Yes, it has been snowing every day, yesterday one foot alone and more snow is in the forecast. We still still have March 19-25 available if anyone is looking for a great ride in/out snowmobile cabin!
I attached a photo of the snow on the deck railing- all new from last night (Feb 26) until this morning (Feb 27)!

Grand Mesa last weekend, and no they are not stuck 
Meh, big deal. She's simply saying they are getting a lot of snow and have availability. The thread is titled, is the season over. She basically said nope, we are getting a ton of snow.

Not really, just go re-read it. It's a blatant advert and nearly every post she has is, but always tries to hide behind the 'oh I'm just showing how much snow we got'. She is not on here to share as a community, but to use this community pawn off their cabin rentals. Its strictly against forum policy to allow people to advertise that are not site supporters. If they want to pay the money like the other companies that pay to help keep this site running, then fine, advertise away. When it happens in nearly every thread on NW CO snow, it gets old fast.
Its like this: You and your buddies are standing around having a conversation about snow and after every five minutes, someone pokes there head into it trying to sell you ****. Yeah, I would eventually get pretty irritated and that's where this whole deal has gotten.
Forum rules prohibit the discussion of prices. The topic must also be relevant to the discussion which it is. Just be happy there are group that are reaching out to snowmobiles. There are FAR too many lodges, cabins, and Yurts that are not snowmobile friendly. I'll certainly take any group that wants to offer themselves to the industry.
