Beartooth Pass conditions?

[altabrig]

No argument there.

This is kinda a cherry on the top type thing for me, skiing is in the rearview by this time of the year and I gotta be really enticed to make it out. And this:

ain't doin it

Looks like the rain is going to shit the bed on that snowpack up there on the Beartooth just like on Mammoth this week.

Any word on how it's holding up?

Heading home end of the month and would love a few summer turns

Sounds like tomorrow will be Beartooth Basin's last day operating for the year.

Any speculation on operations or lack thereof this season

[snowaddict91]

Snotels in the area are 55-70% of average as of today. I have a week penciled off at the end of May, but it doesn't look too promising.

I betcha there's plenty of snow for opening.
Plowing starts in a few weeks and they'll post up some drone footy. Look for those on MTDOT.
Temps between now and then as well as what one expects are big factors yet to be figured in.
It's becoming an old ritual for me to go up. I've had some epic times between Cooke city and Red Lodge.
Met SirVic and Mofro's son up there last year?, had a nice Moose drive by in camp.

I'm in McCall ID now so it'd be a mcchaul
But maybe

There will be skiing one way or another
Always is

Plowing does not start in a few weeks; it has begun.

Last week's action...

I may well go up for opening weekend. Usually a gametime decision these days.

Met up with SirVic and Mofro Jr. last spring.

[snowaddict91]

If I rally it will be 5/30-6/2 or thereabouts. Plans are still pretty up in the air. Unfortunately memorial day weekend is my holiday to work this year so no opening weekend.

No BTB for 2024 [emoji22]

There will be skiing, just no lift service.

[leroy jenkins]

THe may seventh plowing video shows literally nothing but snow. I think there will be skiing.

For sure. Its a good haul for me and I was tying my trip to whether the lifts spun or not.

Beartooth Highway is extremely avalanche prone, as it’s basically switchbacks with couloirs and steeps in between.

Wish there was a way to open it somehow before the traditional Memorial Day weekend start.

Crazy engineering feat. Should be utilized more.

You can access it from the cook/cody side. Lots of great skiing to be had from that gate.

To be honest, I feel like the basin lift service has drawn a new group of skiers up there and it's not awesome.
It used to be pure BC/ hiking style and now there's so many straight up goofs fucking the monkey up top on opening weekend.
The poma parking area used to NEVER be crowded.

57 chevy, Gardiner headwall and Rock creek coolies used to be the main drag. Maybe Reefer ridge when it was in.
Now it's a broken poma party in an area that used to be a free for all zone but now they tell you where you can and can't go.
I guess you can go wherever and just not ride the lift up. Cuz it's a lawless area.

Except Rock creek zone, I don't think any of the switchback slopes ever get skied. And it's typically stable as fuck by late May. Seen a coupla foot dumps that were heavy slough shite skiing though.
