riding report bighorns

[rooster]

Im going to bighorns this weekend and staying at bearlodge. Whats better north or south for the best snow ? thanks

 

[jlebrun_05]

Just got back last night, the snow to the north of bear lodge sucks, but about 10 miles south on trail P the riding is awesome to the west, places around 3 to 4 feet deep in the trees. They had great powder, just have to ride a ways to find it

 

[mfatty]

you ride the horns often ? just wondering if you only no the areas by the trail numbers, do you no the names of the riding area Im a local jus trying to get more info. I dont realy no the numbers on the trails

 

[alscat1]

I just got back also , we were hardly on trails , boon docking is where all the snow is at!!!! Had a great time , lots of snow!

 

[WYOAC700]

I think the snow is about the same on both ends. The north may have a little more but not by much.

They are getting snow right now!

I am happy to hear that the Bighorn's is finally getting some good snow. We are coming to Bear Lodge on the 27th of February for 4 days of riding. Looking forward to carving up a bunch of the back country, we all love boondocking.
Anyone with pictures of that area to give me an idea of what a good time your having now??

Thanks

 

[mfatty]

we got a little snow in sheridan over night hopefully the mountain got dumped on headed up this afternoon so will keep everyone posted

 

[rooster]

thanks mfatty looking forward to hearing from you. the BlackHills got up to 12 inches last night mostly in the northern hills. I havent been riding up there yet but have heard that the trails are good for those who enjoy trailriding.
