Snow Ridge Conditions

[Robert]

I think the Ridge is about to be firing off! Was up there on Sunday and conditions are starting to get really good.

There was about 4 inches or so of fresh lake effect. Despite the rain last weekend the base was solid albeit a little crunchy. We mostly stuck to the north and south slope faces.

There was a good mix of sun and then complete whiteouts of snow. I did dip into the Silver Glades and coverage was surprisingly good. Despite some twigs sticking up out of the snow I didn't hit anything hard or ever see dirt.

My gut tells me they are going to get a lot more snow this week. If it all adds up I can see them running the snow pocket t-Bar this upcoming weekend. Fingers crossed

One of the boys asked me to meet him at his place as he was going to The Ridge today.

Never been up to Snow Ridge, but I've heard good things and it's on my Indy pass. I'll be up at Greek on Saturday so I'm thinking about going on Sunday. Is it worth a 2-hour drive, especially when I could be at Platty in an hour and a half?

Yes, they're gunna get pounded with LE in the next 2 days

Agree with @Campgottagopee . This weekend is going to be prime. Get to the snow pocket t bar skiiers right when it opens

 

[Teledork]

Awesome, thx!

Maybe SR or Mac. Mac is a much easier drive for me especially in the snow. Sunday... yea.

 

[Teledork]

I was there yesterday (Sunday). Started snowing just north of Utica and did not stop - haven’t skied that much powdery snow in years, what a blast!

They got another 10 inches overnight too.
