800 Rmk - No, we didn't go up to the top. Started from the lodge and tested a few places to see what there was for snow here and there. Was up at the lodge earlier today pulling some of the 700's out of the crates. Brought ten of em back to town to finish em up. Looks like there was about 6 or 7 new since Saturday. Got a call from the squirrel earlier today, looks like I will be seeing you on the south side this weekend. I will drive down Saturday am, meet you at his house or the Maverick at 9.Hey dpsnodno,
We were up there too Sat. We parked on top. Was that u with the power toyz boys parked down lower?

...MUCH COLDER AIR HEADED FOR WYOMING BY SUNDAY...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTH THROUGH THE STATE BEGINNING IN THE FAR NORTH SATURDAY EVENING. THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
PLOW SOUTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE BY SUNRISE SUNDAY. THIS WILL BRING COLD TEMPERATURES TO THE ENTIRE STATE...WITH THE COLDEST READINGS EXPECTED EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.
IN ADDITION...A FAVORABLE FLOW PATTERN IS LIKELY TO BRING A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF SNOWFALL TO AREAS WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SNOW FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA
BEGINNING SATURDAY WITH THE BEST CHANCE OCCURRING LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT.
THE MILD...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPERIENCED RECENTLY WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST BY SUNDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO WILL BE QUITE COMMON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO. THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A SLIGHT MODERATION TO THIS ARCTIC AIRMASS BY MIDWEEK WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK INTO THE TEENS AND 20S. SOME OF THE COLD AIR LOOKS TO RETREAT TO THE NORTH AND EAST BY THAT TIME. HOWEVER...
THE AMOUNT AND SPEED OF THIS TEMPERATURE REBOUND WILL ALSO BE
DEPENDENT UPON HOW MUCH SNOW FALLS AND COVERS THE GROUND BY LATE THIS WEEKEND.

we're here!!!! 30 hour drive straight through, with only two stops for eats, and a few for pee breaks and fuel. we did stop at sidney nebraska at cabelas for some final add'l gear purchases. i am typing this at the stagecoach motor inn, in dubois. we will head to togwotee mountain lodge tomorrow am. hoping to post pics and reports nightly. shawn, where are you guys staying tonight? tog was full, so we opted for the original plan to stay at the stagecoach per noah's email. i asked if you or kevin had reservations, they said no. hope you guys made it through the weather. we were south of it, didnt run into weather until a few miles out of dubois. see you guys soon. ski
Looking forward to seeing the pictures.We are leaving on Tuesday morning from southern Ontario,Canada.(2hours north of Toronto).We were going to West Yellowstone,but with the lack of snow we may go to Togwotee or the Snowies.Real eager to see what the conditions are, and who has the best snow before we commit to a 30-36 hour drive.

Hey Trentikles
I'm from St.Catharines, I live in Victor ID now. I would stick with West it has more riding options, Island Park is only 20k away and there is more to do there.If you wanted to do a loop Togwotee is only about a 4.5hr drive from West. Good Luck.
Can someone fill us all in on what just fell on Tog? It seems like a foot plus, but I was hoping for some eyes on reports, can any one help?
I'm heading there in a week and hope to have enough snow to get to the breccia cliffs area any idea how much snow is necessary? basically, are we there yet?

Any reports or photos from anyone?? Riding looks like it should be pretty good via the snow on the webcam and by Dennis's reports from Turpin... Any change in quality/style of food at the lodge either?
does anyone know if the rental shop still rents beacons? we have a group going out feb. 5 and 2 have never been out there and don't want to buy beacons for 1 trip. also how are the avalanche conditions? i heard a skier was killed in Jackson, makes me a little nervous about the trip.

They still were last yr and when I made this yr's res. they didnt say anything different. And I cant imagine they wouldnt given they rent sleds out... Avy conditions check out Turpin's thread...
Were flying out there onthe feb 5 too...

Beacons
We still rent Beacons, $10.00 a day. Well worth it.
If your going to ride in deep powder 30 times in the next few years and can afford a beacon please buy one!
If you want suggestions on what one to buy just search for beacons on this site.
The Avalanche danger has been extreme, with several natural sides on many lesser aspects.
If your riding Togwotee Pass or Jackson Hole then you need to visit this site!
