2010/2011 Sicamous (Eagle Valley) Updates

[revbyu]

Would really like to be riding this weekend. Unfortunately that work thing gets in the way. Think I'm going to apply at Dolittle and Seymour. Then I'll have more time off!

LOL!!! Don't ride Owl's right now!!! It sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rode Owl's Wed., Thurs., and I'm in agreement that it sux right now.......If I could only keep the air intakes clear on my xp I'd be ok....

I was up at Blue Lake last Sunday with 2-3 feet of winter like powder. We had a lot of precip this last week so this weekend is looking great and the trails are still being groomed! See you up there.:d

was up owls head yesterday.......picked the kid up at school and headed to the cabin for a test and tune run.......both sleds worked flawlessly......got full boost now and the backwards mavrick works great......and the kids 550 has headlights now! next time I will wear snowpants....lol.....was planning on just going for a few miles to see how things ran but that boost is addicting and had to ride to the top........man has it snowed the last few weeks.......cant even see out of the windows at the cabin!

Was up to Queest today and had a great day with about 6" of powder on top of a firmer layer of recent snow. I used up a sled rental I purchased at the Club Auction thanks to Full Speed Rentals in Sicamous. Had a blast using a pretty(??) Sublime Green Ltd. edition. We parked at about 4 with lots of snow and the trail wasn't too bad for April. We found a set of googles on the trail if you lost some.

6 of us were up at Blue Lake yesterday (Sunday) for some amazing spring sledding. We had 6" to 2' of winter like powder to play in and lots of area to ourselves:. We unloaded at about 2.5k and only had a couple bare patches to cross but the trail is pretty rough as grooming is done for the season. We had more precip last night so get up there and enjoy!

Was up at Blue Lake Sat 16.....Was great....Fabulous snow…..the fog/clouds rolled in every now and again put great company…..


A little mishap with a recoil but the sled rode out on it’s own steam so all in all a great day.

Missed you Gary…..Sunday we rode Frisby…Would have preferred your end of the road better, First time there looks like a great place but was tracked out, sleds all ran great but one of the riders in our group was having trouble keeping forward momentum …..oh ya that was me….

Rode Owls on friday - had my daughter with me so we didn't venture to far. Couldn`t believe the amount of snow at the cabin - the snow is level with the bottom of the roof - probably 6inch fresh at cabin and Morton Lake probably had 10inches - Ventured over to blue on sunday from Owls - Over the hood snow on the Blue lake side - Awesome day !!

Great day up on Owlhead Sunday April 25. Ony six of us up there for an Easter ride.

 

[takethebounce]

We rode Queest Friday and Sunday. Saturday was a nice day for boating.

Parking at 4.5k and snow is going quick anything below 7k. Another week and parking will be at 8k. Still good snow depth on the road though.

Didn't get over to Owl's as we were having too much fun with Queest all to ourselves. :d

I rode blue lake on the 22 there was lots of fresh had to hunt for it but when I did it was great see pics.
Rode owlhead on the 23 had to walk down 4' to get into the cabin! some fresh in the trees but the hill climbing snow was great. I want to go back! I'm sure we will be sledding till July
