So a lot of people have been wondering if there is snow in the Snowies. 
I just returned from sledding there December 13, 14, 15, and 16. I can tell you that there is plenty of snow to ride. There is definitely more snow on the west side, which is where we spent most of our time. Yes, you need to be careful to watch out for rocks and stumps that are just below the surface. But, we found 4 to 6 feet of powder all over the place. Some areas we found even more. Avoid the wind blown areas, as they are mine fields. But, get into the meadows out of the wind and in the trees and you will find plenty to keep everyone happy. We even found snow in steep areas for those that want to hill climb as well. Five sleds for four days and we left without damage to our sleds.
During our stay the area received 1 to 2 feet of snow, depending on where you were. More snow is forecast for the rest of the week, which will make for great riding in even more places.
Couple words of advise. You can find snow next to the trail, but to get to the good stuff you need to venture out and work a little (okay, sometimes a little more than a little). You will be rewarded. Explore carefully at first to test an area. The snow conditions are variable right now.
Check out the attached pictures for a peek of what you can expect.
Thanks to Connie and the crew at Snowy Mountain Lodge. We had another great stay and look forward to our next trip!
