We have gone down the last three years and dont worry about snow. It was unbelievable last year. We rode in untracked chest deep powder for 4 days.west yellowstone is good park your truck unload ride from hotel for gas supper to the bar grocery store etc. Unless you want to ride 15 miles an hour all day and stop at every bird and broken tree branch on the trail on a rental gutless sled(cause you cant ride your own)dont bother with old faithful. Ride two top and black canyon trails.

That must have been right before the thaw. Have friends that went down there in mid Feb and there was 2-3 ft packed snow tops. Heard it got even worse after that.

Worst place I ever rode a sled last Feb. Hadn't snowed for over a month and was icy. If you are used to riding in mountains then Two Top isn't much to brag about. Most exciting thing we saw the whole week was ol faithful

These pics are from black canyon trail the last four days of january
