whats funny about this year is that all of the surrounding areas have ridable snow... last year they did not so that adds up to alot more people ergo worse trail conditions.

Everybody is talking about this great grooming that is going on in the Snowy Range but I can't seem to run across these trails. I have been leaving out of Greenrock every day for the last week and have not run across a recently groomed trail yet on top.

We have been driving from NE Nebraska for ten years now to come ride the snowies. Sure the trails do get a little rough but that is a small price to pay for all the excellent backcountry that we always seem to find. I'd say that we better give props to the groomer operators...alot of hard work with not enough thanks! You can bet your arse that when we are heading back in from a day of awesome riding, and we meet a groomer, we give him the big thumbs up to let em know how important they are to our sport!!!
Wow

What happened to the trail grooming? Last year and so far this year I have not been to impressed with the trails.
I have been told that the State of WY now does the trails is that true? I thought that a guy out of Albany did all the grooming in the Snowy Range?
Guess I am behind times on this subject.

I believe they have 3 groomers doing the snowies. ONe is stationed out of albany.
I was one of the people that yelled bloody murder last year with the lack of grooming. There has been a HUGE improvment in the grooming and the conditions of the snow.
May have something to do with the snow quality. I don't know, but credit where credit is due.
They have been doing a MUCH better job this year. There were HUGE crowds over the last week and the trails were in pretty darn good shape. You will never be able to satisfy everyone. THe trails could be glass smooth and someone would complain.
Could it be better, sure. There is always going to be room for improvment, however, they have been doing a MUCH better job.
So far, is does seem to be a little better. But what torques me off is they are no longer grooming "C". That is basically the main route to Keystone from Albany. I had a hell of a time keeping my utility sled upright while towing it to our cabin Saturday, not to mention coming back home Tuesday. And "Q" is always too rough to go on up to "T" and back down with the sled. Guess I am going to have to build a tougher sled!
Boy I thought it was groomed early last week as you could open 'er up towards muddy. They did make a mistake (really??) on the 2008 map and had to send an attachment letter explaining what they are really doing. Possibly the priority was on other trails this past weekend, the groomers were running and sometimes twice in the day. I'll check it out.
I cant wait till we get out that way! Albany Mountain keep up the good work like i said a bad trail out there is better than anytrail in northern wisconsin!
You Guy have no Idea how Freekin good you have it!!!!

So, was the mistake marking "C" as a non-groomed trail on the new maps? That was my first let-down. I was at the cabin from Saturday to Tuesday this weekend, and I swear it hadn't been touched. My only grumble about it was the fact I had the sled loaded with four days worth of stuff, and it made it a )(^*% to pull. I averaged about 5-10 mph both ways. Any faster than that and it became airborne!
Otherwise, from C & Q on up, everything seemed real good.
Picked up the new map and read the notices from Wyoming Trails and the map was in error with the explanation that C from the intersection of Q will be groomed to the west T trail. The groomers are grooming almost daily out of Albany this year. They must of been to the north during that period. Just another round of luck.
