Me and 7 other guys are planning a trip to steamboat to ride rabbit ears and buff pass around the end of February or first part of march. I was wondering what the riding conditions are and if RE/BP got any snow last weeks storm? What is the base? Also wondering where some more good places are to ride in Colorado?
Rabbit Ears/Buff Pass
- Thread starter Dstunner
- Start date
Have the hills settled down at RE and BP?
Talked to my buddy that lives near BP last nite. The storm that dumped on Denver didnt hit them at all 
We didn't get any snow from the last few storms to hit Colorado. There are people climbing hills that slid in the last few weeks now. The snow has settled some (the stake is at 5') and the snow is not cracking/sliding like it was but it is not too stable either. There are spots with untracked snow but the trails, parking lots, and the climbing hills visible from the parking lots are tracked up. Guess that is where most people ride.
LOL. She's stuck working graveyards for the Sheriff. Nothing I can do to make her happy with that. Any ideas??
And it has not snowed in NWCO for going on 2 weeks.
Sell all your expensive toys and let her stay at home with her kids....bet that would make her happy.
Step up to the plate and prioritize what is important and make it happen.
Then when you can really afford it, spend what extra you have on yourself.
Then I'm unhappy. Double edged sword right there. Hopefully this damn shift change will only go for another week or so.
See, sitting at home all weekend doesn't cut it for me. I like getting out and pushing it. Now that I have the boys into it makes it even more important to me. See, I do what you do, sort of. I spend my Summers/Fall at home doing yardwork, shooting arrows and teaching the boys (yep, I can do that in my yard. Rural life does has advantages), And now that they are into bikes I take them. Parker is now able to ride fast enough to follow and ride beginner trails. Hunter, I'm not sure yet. But he is ballz to the wall on his sled. I take Parker in the woods with me to go hunting/scouting. I take them fishing and now that we have an RV, we camp. So I do alot of family stuff in the warmer months and try to spend the few colder months doing what I enjoy. Personally, I don't see an issue with that, nor do I see it as being selfish. Getting out and riding my hardest Fri and Sat and then taking the boys on their sleds Sunday.
april
I have a trip planned out there the first week of april. i know there is no way of telling for sure, but i am wondering if anyone can give me some insight on what to expect. Do they still receive snow into april? what are the conditions generally like, etc etc.
Thanks.

If you like riding trails then yes. They have done a great job grooming what little snow we have.
If I were you, I'd go straight across to BC.
RE has 100-110" total snowfall and it's February 6th. This year is worse than 2008 by far
Buf Pass has been snowing for a lot of days. Deep powder and a lot of stuck people yesterday. I'm going up tomorrow and hope it's not a white out.

RE snow
Rode Sat. 2' of new wet snow-lot of untracked areas.
Rode Monday 2'-3' of fresh champagne powder on top of the 2' from Sat.
Had to keep the throttle pegged all day-unbelieveable riding-best of the season
Still snowing Tuesday when we went over the pass heading home
