Just saw on Facebook that the pass is now closed at the state line. MDT and Wyoming DOT sites are your best bets for updates (but I wouldn't expect the NPS to bother clearing the Wyoming side until the weather clears).

It’s snow at 4,800 ft. here in Bozeman, and the weather is pretty nasty.
I am going to keep my eyes on the conditions and shoot for a Saturday or Sunday mission if the pass looks open.
I expect its blizzard conditions in the high country as of now!

That's wild. Well, I was stuck in a loop, watching the forecast, trying to decide, but I guess I'm gonna postpone again. Tentatively planning to head up there next weekend.
Bring it on

SVS- text me in the am if you hear anything for certain about the road being closed anywhere. Should be easy though.

For those of you there — get some!
Smaht. Even if it opens the conditions will be sketch. Bummer for those traveling far to do this.

And the weekend is far from over. I told the boys if the conditions suck bad, then roll through the park and we party in JH...
If anyone else is coming from that direction and wants to go for it, the drive out the East entrance and north isn't bad. It's a lot of miles but it's relatively boring (thus faster and easier) driving being low elevation and arid.
I'm definitely missing Red Lodge right now, sitting around in summer weather and looking at winter weather warnings on Facebook.

our plan was to head up tmrw but I guess that's out now
Andrew still sorta wants to go up into the Lamar valley regardless of weather but we'll see if he still feels like that after he gets home tonight after his 3rd day in a row driving to jellystone
weather in town looks better for the weekend than was predicted earlier this wk so keep us posted if you guys decide to move it to the Tetons and we can party.
Whiteout conditions is right....Attachment 286457
How nice
the awesome thing about the rockies is that even when they say it's going to be cloudy/stormy/ rainy it only usually is for a small % of the day
ok will see how it goes

fucking sucked today
Had a terrible time making runs off the headwall, getting shuttled back up to the top 10 deep in the colo-rad-bro school bus,
Stag burgers, and snow creek saloon.

Damn guys, looks like a shitty time. Hope the viz clears up for you soon
Still going for it. Fingers crossed, but approaching from the north looks to be clear and dry. Storm clouds seem to have cleared out for the most part.
Lotta snow in the Bridger, absaroka, and crazy ranges. Looked like winter on Blackmore still.

Well done SVS! Super jelly. Love that line.
headed north now.
we'll sleep near the lamar valley to catch some dusk/dawn animal action and hope to see you kids mid morning as the snow starts to soften up (no new road updates though so holler if you guys get any intel)
then we're going to stay thru Monday
we'll bring firewood too
well guess im out, made it to missoula for dinner and pass still closed. for those who made it, enjoy.
maybe if the basin is open in july i'll try again. or next year!!
Incredible day. Started with the gate being closed and just before we embarked for another hike to rock creek the owner of the Basin came and opened the gate for skiers only.
Abe, myself and are camp/ski friends from jackson had the whole ski area to ourselves.
First run a little chattery but got better with each additional run. After skiing till last poma and being asked politely to head to stateline so basin crew could secure the gate we pondered how a afternoon rock springs lap would be.
Turns out we were in luck perfect corn and much better skiing down main chute then the other one we skied yesterday.
Capped that with a wristwrocket/ rock throwing apres where our car was waitung for us.
We got lucky. Sounds like tomorrow might be even better.

Strange day to say the least. Saw the morning update about letting skiers through the gate, but when we got up around 11:30 they shut the gate to any more cars coming from the MT side. Nobody manning the gate for a solid 1-2 hours while we hiked and skied around. No communication. It's like a short window existed for only a 2 hours to get through and then after that they abandoned the idea. Probably saw at least 30 or more people show up and then turn around after waiting 45 min to get through. Skied headwall and some areas up there, but people up there were completely in the dark with no updates.
Headwall was dope as hell though, and may head through tomorrow with the weather being so nice in RL.

Early bird gets the worm.
SJ you should try again tomorrow. The Basin crew is planning on opening.

@svs That may just yet happen. Might swing through the park on the way back. I'll have bright blue pants and a red beard if we're up there.

Glad to hear you connected with my local friends, good folks to meet and spend time with. You can bet they will be amped to see you two in winter at the villy. Still can't believe they did the long roll around, long haul.
Nice fucking cornices by the way.
Hopefully baby bear and skijunky are gonna make it. Pass still closed on wyo side updated on wydot 10 minutes ago.
Way to bust a move for all of you and Jenks' dad.
The pass is rarely a cakewalk but somehow always delivers. Wish I coulda made it. It will be there forever though, next time mags.
Hope the snow is great today. Ya gotta pay to play and sometimes it all comes back to you in a big refund of awesome summer ski adventuring.
Get sum. Say my name at the top of Rock creek you dogs!
