Snowies Parking Lot Elevation

[I.P.Yellow]

Hi all, does anyone know the elevation of the parking lot up the highway from Centennial past the ski resort? What's the name also? Thanks, IP

Greenrock, and it is just shy of 10,000'.

Yep - the turn-around is ~9,800 according to GoogleEarth​

Thanks, was there last year and couldn't remember the name. Gotta jet the big bore and wanted to know. Heading out next week and hope the pow is deep. Does the elevation ever go down after you leave the parking lot? I know my altimeter on sled read 11,100 at one time after climbing to the top.

Unless you go to Albany or Ryan Park you'll most likely be riding 9500-11000 most of the time.

Depends on where you ride - if you jet for 8500 to 9000 you should be good anywhere. Libby Flats is ~11k, the top of the peak is 12,013 feet, Albany is 8,325, Ryan Park is 8,360.

No reason to ever head to Albany, right TMK
