I want to go back! I'm sure we will be sledding till July

I hope your right. I missed the first half of the season pretty much due to work.

Pemberton May7/8th and maybe owls or somewhere up hunters during the following week. Be a first time ever riding up there that time of year if so!!!

Was thinkin...any chance on updates about the forest service road staging situations on Owl Head Queest Blue Lake & Eagle Pass as I'm fawked right now cause I need to work and cant find out on my own.
...and need to change the info in the link below so them peeps that continue to sled while I'm at work can still see whats up.
That would be great.
Thanks...cheers

Queest is about 5-6 km the parking lot just after the turn to the handglider ramp........I think it is around the 5-6 km......and then only 50 feet of dirt in one spot about 500 feet up.......it was great yesterday......I want to get up blue lake today but the kid is sore lol if we go I will let you know!

Ok perfect, thanks for the Queest info

Ahhhh I am jealous. Blue Skies, hero snow and no steps showing into the cabin at Blue! Looks like a great time to poke around.

How far up blue can you take a truck and deck now? what about owls>
Thanks

 

[overkill131313]

blue was 5.6 KM.....Matiac tried to get his big dodge through the snow but is was a bad corner......didnt want to slide into the creek,,,,,so we unloaded there.....next weekend should be able to get to 6-6.5! he did chew up the snow at 5.6 km so it should melt faster there........there was dirt on the other side but nothing major.

 

[kokanee 800]

Thanks, do you think a guy will still be able to go Mid june.

 

[overkill131313]

well there was less snow last year and at june 20th (fathers day) we had to drive up just before cummins lake.....but we rode all day in a t-shirt and did some water skipping on blue and cummins lake! if it dont melt quick this year I would say easy till mid june!

[revbyu]

Really wanted to come out this weekend - just to many things happening - work , family - I think would have been awesome from what I've been hearing!!

 

[ldog]

Just wondering if anybody is still riding out there or if it's even possible. Maybe Blue ? Can a person still drive to cummings lk. and ride into the cabin ? A few guys have been asking me to go on the 30th of July. Is this still possible ?
