I think what he is saying Wayne, is the Web Cam shows low snow, but their is Much more snow Higher up. Basically the Rule this Year at togwotee is, Head UP in Elevation. CD trail to the West of the Lodge Had some bare spots, but there were ways around. Anywhere to the East on CD or X as long as your Increasing in elevation your OK. On X, as you go past Brooks Lake Lodge, the Snow starts to thin out. Just Remember, Elevation is Your Freind this Year.

[polarisrider1]

Snowies got the snow!!

 

[polarisrider1]

Kev, I will take your info to heart. It is thin at Tog. 46 degrees today. We ate dinner with Rick and have a plan. Snowies got dumped on. It was hard to drive past there. Lava Mtn. is bare ground and closed.

 

[polarisrider1]

Kev, we are hanging with www.snowmobiler.com and the HMK folks today.

Thanks again to our guides Brent and Carter! It was a learning experience as well. Carter is a great guy and an awesome coach/teacher. You get so much when getting a guide from TML! A word to all interested in going out there, you need to go out there and have the TML guides lead you to the good riding areas. We found plenty of areas of untouched and bottomless snow.
Firecatguy and Robbie thanks again for riding with us as well. You guys really know those mountains and know how to ride! Wished Red could have rode with us, but maybe next time! I’ll post some pictures in the guest shots area soon for all to enjoy.

Yes he is. Not sure on the plans for tomorrow. Those flooring guys are brutal. LOL we had 10 guys in our group today. lots of snow and it is actually snowing on and off. 26 degrees today way better than the 46 degrees yesterday. Plenty of stucks today!!! Gotta love Hill Climb week!

 

[polarisrider1]

Plenty of snow. Tog. is pretty good. Lava mtn. has no snow, the snowies has the most from what I have seen. RevKev you will be fine on the Snowies trip.

Yup, the snowies will be getting yet another storm this Saturday. Are you going on this trip? Looking forward to a great last ride of the season. Looking at the Tog web cam, looks like you received some fresh snow.

Carter says Hi! Techsledder!

And hey back to him! Wished we were still there riding with ya'll. Have some pics of your backcountry exploits to share? Glad to hear Carter is getting you to some good snow.
