Any info?
Snowy range snow condtions?
- Thread starter revrider07
- Start date
WYDOT has closed Hwy 130 for the season. Sno-Tel is showing from 13” around Rob Roy Res to 26” near Sand Lake. Trail riding would be possible. Off trail riding would not be recommend yet. Please remember, there must be 12” of snow to ride off trail. The Snowy Range Snowmobile Club wants to remind every one of that requirement. The Forest Service will be checking, especially in the Mullen Fire burned areas.

Road out of Albany today. Lower elevations are very thin, but there was snow covering all of the trail “Q” from Albany to Rob Roy. “T” trail was is also very well covered. Be careful riding off trail, not much base any where. I would recommend sticking to the trail until you’re North of the Nelson Park Warm hut. There was some pretty heavy snow coming down once we got to “U” and all the way back to “N”. Due to very flat light conditions and problems fogging up, we turned around and went back to Albany. As mentioned earlier, there’s not much base but the snow is starting to pile up. Another storm forecast for Monday and Tuesday.
Enjoy and be Safe.

Does anyone know if ungroomed trail "o","no","y""k" have been marked up in the sand lake area north of Brooklyn lake? Planning trip this Thursday. thanks
Didn’t make it that far yesterday to see. However, they should be marked.
They are marked. I was at Quealy Hut on Christmas day. The Snow over by N and that way is decent and has some base to it where I rode. With the new snow over the next few days it will only get better. We didnt get to western with off trail. You can see the creeks in the outline still and see some of the bigger stuff. If this storm pans out we should be better and going in the right direction. Planning on riding Wednesday.

We had a New Years trip planned but cancelled after lack of snow. Checking web cams today Im pretty bummed. This will def help out and hope to make Snowies trip soon. Totally sucks having to plan a trip from 1000 miles away. Need to just move my ass back to the mountains.
Listening in; supposed to come out 1/7-1/14
I think it should be ok by then - hopefully you will have some fresh snow to cover up all the New Years tracks. It looks like the storm track keeps doing it's thing through the first half of Jan - lots of little storms tracking in every few days according to the forecast I listened to this morning.
We need some of the big ones to head our way too eventually though....
On my way out to Albany on Friday 1/1 returning on 1/6. Will try to remember to report back.
Rode yesterday out of Ryan Park my normal side of riding. The snow is much better than Christmas with more. The higher up and north the more snow. with that said I still did see running water and thin spots. The other thing is it is SUPER BUSY even on my side of the Range where we never had out of states parking. Every meadow close to the trail was tracked up. I believe if you are adventurous you could find some great snow away from the crowds. However it may cost some A-arms. We really need this to settle in and one more good storm and we will be in business. I have been riding the Range for 20+ years and I'm still tip toeing around. Most of that is i don't like to break stuff. There is plenty of snow to have a great time riding in and playing safer areas. If your powder hunting or want to explore and driving from hours away I would wait. This is just may opinion on what I saw some may see it different.
