There is some deep snow up there if you're willing to look for it. For those looking for current conditions here are some pictures.

Nice shots. It's great to see you riding so close to home. That's awesome!!!
Great way to celebrate the New Year.

Thanks. AF canyon is a favorite of mine...and the short drive is nice too.
Went back up New Years Day. Still finding lots of untouched snow. Also saw a couple of sleds that got themselves in a tight spot. With the warm temperatures and riding a lower elevations, the snow really started to get wet and heavy. Here are the updated photos:
Here is the tight spot. On our way out, we saw these 3 machines down in a hole. No way to go down from where they're at and a pretty steep climb to get back out. Looks like they'd left them to go get some help. Hope they get them out of there alright. The picture doesnt show how steep it is.

Were you able to get around to the front side of timp? Or was the road around the west side already blown over with snow?? good to see some great pow that way......fairview is still bottomless
They were. That section of the road is pretty scary. We always cross it one at time. It's a pretty good sidehill...looks like they lost it on the sidehill and ended up in the bottom.

No infringement...you're welcome to them.
There was some good snow....your helmet cam would have loved it. We'll do it again.
No, it's not. What I couldn't figure out was why there was 3 down there. I would think after the first one went down the others would think twice.

We did get all the way around. The most wind blown spot was the north side where those 3 machines were in the hole. Out front in the meadow at the end of the road, there was about 3 feet...all untouched.
We were in Fairview at Christmas...it was great then, I'm sure after that last storm it's even better.
Ok, now I see where you were at. We ride AF all the time and none of those picture were looking familiar. We never go over that way. We usually go toward Cascade Springs, and sometimes work our way over to the Ant Knoll.
Thats a pretty good ride to cascade springs and over to Ant Knoll/Poleline pass...but at least it's groomed. Riding those bumps from tibblefork up to Poleline pass can sure get old fast.
Yeah, they're not so bad on the way up, but on the way back when you're all beat up it's 5 miles of pure hell!
That is a pretty good (not so) little ride over to the Ant Knoll, but 95% of the time we never make it over there. Too many other good little spots to play along the way.
