March 19th, 2023 NOTICE: Currently there are NO SNOWMOBILE PERMITS available in Centennial, WY. You will need to pick up your permits in Laramie or ORDER ONLINE HERE (7-10 days for sticker to come via mail). North/Northwest Area Past 72 hours: 2-4" Inches Past 7 Days: 6-12" Inches Current Base: 7-8' Feet South/Southeast Area Past 72 hours: Trace to 3" Inches Past 7 Days: 2-8" Inches Current Base: 5-7' Feet Summary Pretty mild week this far with plenty of wind and sunny, yet still cold conditions. Reports coming back from riders are still decent, but you've got to get into the trees and areas where the wind/sun/crowds haven't packed it down. The better reports coming from the North/Northwest side of the range. We did hear about remnants of a slide on the Widowmaker...careful out there! As much as the sun and warmer temps early last week felt like Spring, it has gotten cold again with lots of chances at some DEEP spring storms over the next 10 day forecast.
