I get that but Im not gonna stay at peaks if I can't ride right from there, if I gotta trailer Id rather stay in town, more convenient that way, just wondering how the trail is in comparison to past years and unless there is a very unseasonable warm spell will there be enough to sustain a trail until then. Its not rocket science, just need some opinions based on past years thats all

Hard to tell the future. Only Mother nature know that! If not it is only 10 minutes away.

Tmo: This probably won't help you much but when we rode Monday we left the Boulder lot with snow in the parking lot and when we came back around 5pm the whole parking lot was 100% brown. The trail was covered with slushy snow, but still covered. The small bridge just on the beginning of the trail over the small creek was showing through a bit also. I'm not sure if this helps you or not.

With the current forecast being in the double positive digits and freezing moving up as high as 1700m I would say that the snow down low won't last long. It's lookin' more and more like it's gonna be a short spring riding season. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Rode Boulder Sat, temps were warm, snow was very heavy and setting up. Rode Frisby Sunday and the snow was alot better, prob 2-3ft of fresh. Sure is weird how the snow differs just a few kms away. In general, the warm weather Fri/Sat has really started to set up the powder that dumped last week.

Spring riding conditions now. They are in desperate need of new snow or plan to wait for warmer temps so the snow will be slushy. Few areas had 6-8 inches of fresh snow with firm layer underneath.

Boulder on sunday was hard as a rock/icy and pretty pounded out.

Couple pics.
