Which has better riding nearby?

Rule - You need to have stayed at both or ridden to BOTH by sled.

I'm looking for the best riding and which is closer to North French Creek.

Have stayed at Ten Mile several times, and had lunch numerous times at Albany Lodge (does that count?) I prefer Ten Mile (the 5 cabins are 5 yrs old, and the 5 motel rooms are less than a year old), although it takes an extra 3 hours drive, it is closer to the Good Stuff, as the West side receives more snow, and is less tracked. Albany is Quite a bit lower in elevation compared to Ten Mile (over 1000 ft lower), and both are about the same distance to French Creek area, can't go wrong at either location.

We have stayed at Albany a number of times and its a long ride back at the end of the day. Thats why we stay at the old corral in Centennial now. Drive up the hill, unload sleds and play!

Mountain Meadow Cabins...
If I would have to pick between the two then Albany. Most people pass by all the good stuff leaving Albany trying to get to the top. If you need to run to town for parts it is a lot closer as well.

I have stayed at Mountain Meadows three times and am just looking for change. I hate always having to ride to the western slope and figured I would just stay over there instead.

Cuzz, Did we make it to French Creek when I was out there? You mention this place often and I suspect we never made it there??????? looks like 10 mile is on my to do list thanks to Revkev. No more Old Corral. The Hotel was great and the food was good there, but no more trailering up every morning and fighting for a parking space and unloading and all in reverse going back each evening. It just eats up to much time. I asked the Old Corral employees, "how did they ever side the building in such winds?" They said that was easy compared to the guys roofing the place! The desk girl said, the wind, never lets up! We had white caps in the Hot tub. lol.

I am not allowed to divulge the information on a public forum, but I can tell you I have never needed to ride more than 10 miles from Mountain Meadow to get to epic conditions. I understand wanting a change though, we try to stay in a different cabin at Mountain Meadow to change the view a bit...haha

I guess we all have different expectations of epic.

He's back!!! The OC rocks, Green Rock isn't really a pain during the week and in just a few min you are in the "good stuff". Get there early on weekend and park on the uphill side.

Kmart....BWHAHHAHAAH I still love that description....100% perfect nailed it on the head
Just about everyone says that I hit it perfect on that one. It is not ment as an insult, it is what it is. Togwotee range is dear to my heart. IP is also a favorite for ease of getting around and mix of it all. Cooke for extreme riding, (not for the meak or mild) looking forward to that with the new sled. But if not for the snowies I would not of met Doospunk or firecatguy early on last year. Where else can you watch fgsacts peg a tree full throttle going up hill and hit that Baby head on dead center??? So it cost him $12,000 for that memory, was it worth it, to see the friends, **** yes!!!!!! Felt real bad for Andy.

The Snowies are a lot of fun when it isn't windy.

That one day per year when it is not windy? Libby Flats is always bad, that's when you head for the trees! There is a lot of good tree riding that we have found out there over the years. We have ridden all day thinking what a beautiful day only to find white-out conditions on top trying to get back to Green Rock. We always leave plenty of time for crossing the flats back. We tried the northern route a few times and that is worse IMO because the trail is not marked as well as 130 is.

Feelin' the love! I still have no good explanation how that happened. Nothing like totaling a sled 1.5 hours into a three day trip.
