Our trip to the Wyoming Big Horns was great. Four foot plus snow and it snowed while we were there. Over a foot of powder. Stayed at Elk View west of Dayton. At the lodge they said the elevation was 8300 feet. I can't know but can tell you when a machine was stuck and a fellow had to start working, it was the first time I had a little trouble getting enough air. The Polaris 800 RMK is amazing. I did get too close to a big pine tree once and it had a well waiting for me. A couple miles from Elk View Lodge there is a small down hill ski slope (Antelope something). Only $78 bucks for lift tickets and rental gear. Not bad.</blockquote>
