Early ski in Yellowstone
--- GR wrote: Is there reliable snow around Thanksgiving in Yellowstone for XC? What is the quality of said snow? I have only been there once, two years ago, and it was a "bad" snow year. Everyone was commenting on how unusual it was not to have snow. Usually you can ski right out the hotel door and onto the Rendevous trails. The trails are very smooth. The year I went there was no snow when we arrived. We rollerskied a couple of days. Then the New Englanders, seeing lots of white on the higher hills, drove way out on the "plateau" road and found some good skiing at about 8500 ft of elevation. Then it snowed. We did one more day of skiing on the plateau. Then it snowed more and we were able to ski on the rendevous trails. So even in a bad year I got it plenty of skiing. Other advice: Bring warm clothes. It can easily go below zero. Visit the "Wolf and Bear Discovery Center". Worth the whole trip. Eat lunch at the "Free heel and wheel". Bring a camera. Don't bring kick wax - between Swix and Toko you should be able to get free wax jobs everyday : Rob Bradlee ===== Rob Bradlee Java, C++, Perl, XML, OOAD, Linux, and Unix Training |
