Southern bighorns riding?

[nytro4]

Does anyone ever ride the southern bighorns anymore? Seems like the northern horns gets talked about more. We used to ride the southern parts for many years, then there was a lot of problems with lodging on top, would like to go back this winter, does anyone know if there is anything open or do they still maintain trail systems in the meadowlark lake area.

Meadowlark lodge has been renovated and is operational. Cabins, restaurant, They have fuel pumps there as well. Meadowlark ski lodge is open when the snow is adequate too. Trails are maintained routinely. I prefer the southern side when it has good snow. Less people and better terrain, imo

There is a fella here that owns the apartments by tensleep I think? He'll probably show up here when the snow does, but he was from MN...

Anyway my group had talked about going the southern side, but it seemed like the snow levels were noticeably lower and we weren't 100% sure there would be gas there. If there is gas/food/lodging I think I would be more likely to go there this year seeing how packed the northern side is and how fast it gets tracked up.

No don't send everyone to track up my honey holes!!! But hopefully they get better snow there this year.

I mean it can't get much worse can it

Hopefully this will be a good year. I'll be up in rapid city Feb-April so it will be much easier to make a spontaneous trip further west
