Sorry, i dont think the access will be any good until we get the forecasted snow next weekend. We had cleared the trail just before last season, so the brush is really down, allowing earlier access. We recently went in for a trail inspection and also found the bridge out at 17km (forestry removing themselves of liabiltiy) but they did a good job and with some shoveling(most likely by me and maxwell), early season riders will be able to cross no problem and we also have culverts that will go up with the first groom and be placed in and snow pushed over. I will keep you guys updated with any new info, but I wont have any first hand on-mountain information until next weekend, if we get the forecasted snow, if not, I will not be riding.
BUT IT WILL COME

hope that helps

PS, awesome username ! lol

Just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to Luke the Drifter to transporting my ride to Martin for me and hopefully another thanks to Maxwell for bringing the new girl back on friday !:d YAHOO

No worries buddy, glad I could help. Thanks for your hospitality and the beers. Now if it were to snow like it did in 06/07, that would make life a lot better hehe. Hope your Etec proves to be a solid ride!

Im wish someone else would chime in with a report besides me, as I know people have tried to ride.

Im sorry dude, the access is not good by any means, anywhere. We are just too low on snow. I would suggest you call me thursday afternoon at 2505664817 to see if we have gotten any of the forecasted snow..............there was only 80-90cm up there and sleds area heavy.....

 

[glassman]

Really not worth the risk. Thanks curtis i'll put another coat of wax on the cat... That sounds kinda kinky.

 

[maxwell]

someone must have been on the hill this past weekend.....DETAILS!!!

 

[M1000CAT]

The trail up is horrid, tons of ice for the first 2 switcbacks. Once up top tracks are everywhere back to hillclimb. I made it past the super bowl , still gotta watch for trees and landmines. Had about 3-4 feet of powder with absolutely no base.

 

[maxwell]

well those first 2 switchbacks are ALWAYS horrid regardless of snow levels. so other than that the trail is ok? ish.??
