[QUOTE="SLE, post: 344875, member: 3889"] I would be willing to digress a little further even. Much of the snowpack that accumulated in that basin this year came very very very late. I would have to look back at the snowtel and check totals and dates but we skipped another trip out west this year to ride sled because during the prime months of Jan, Feb, and March they were way below average (70-80%) snow pack. Then came April and May and mother nature opened up a few more times bringing the total up to about average snow pack. The gauge station that I watch didn't hit a 100" till mid April, and then it stayed that way for a month with little melt due to a below average temps this spring. Back up two weeks ago to memorial day and they had to again close the Bear-tooth highway due to a snow storm that left 6-8 ft drifts on the road which didn't reopen until June 9! And then add several inches of rain on top of the snow, and now above average temps, and you have a recipe unprecedented runoff with rain and an extremely rapid snow melt. I only know most of this as I watch the Fisher Creek and Beartooth Lake snowtel gauges and weather reports for Cooke City pretty close hoping they'd get enough snow to cover all of the landmines so we could make a trip out west to ride.
