Had a buddy that rode up there yesterday, said there was around 4 feet of decent base with more in the trees and north slopes, plus about 18" of fresh soft stuff (i think they call it powder?) up top of that. Haha he said there are still a few "treasures" here and there so be careful but it's definitely getting close to that point where you don't have to worry so much.

We were out 2 weeks ago and it was pretty good especially for early season. As a matter of fact we found more fresh than we have in later months in previous years. Of course you need to watch out for what may be under there this time of year.
I would say go.......if all else fails drink some beer!

Where to find awesome snow and terrain near Steamboat Springs, CO
The snow is good at Rabbit ears, but if you want the same amount of snow with more terrain and less people, check out our cabin rental 1 hr SW of Steamboat Springs, CO wildskies.com and our video on snowmobiling our area which was filmed April 27, 2013: http://wildskies.com/winter-vacations/snowmobile-vacations/

How is the access to the Buffalo Pass riding area from the Walden side versus the Steamboat side? Any info is greatly appreciated.
I agree. this would be helpful info.

We always stay in Walden so cant say how it is from the Steamboat side, its closer than driving down to the ears so we usually ride at least one day there. The road going to the lot isnt always plowed so be carefull of that but the trail going up to the tower is usually in good shape and there is a short cut to save a few miles of trail to get up top.
Coming from east your best access is from the Walden side. It would be another 1 1/2 hrs drive around to get to the parking area on the Steamboat side. You could ride up to the top from the Walden side in less time. The parking on the Steamboat side is very small. If you have a truck and trailer you better get there early to park (like before 8). From the parking lot 2/3s of the way to the top is trail ride as it goes through a skier only area.
The snowmobile folks that run through there haven't operated up there yet, but might this weekend, which means if you are headed there this weekend you should be good.
What road(s) do you take from Walden do you take to get to the Buffalo Pass parking area from the Walden side? Is that parking area big enough for enclosed trailers? Thank You
Take highway 14 south about twelve miles from walden. There is a brown forest service sign that will say buffalo pass on it. Turn west and go probably 5 miles. There's a y in the road. Stay left. It's another 2-3 miles from there. There is plenty of room for trailers.
