Thanks for the updates. Anyone rode blue this week?

Rode Blue on Saturday the 21st. Likely 20 sleds up. We mostly stayed low and played from Cummins lk up. Easily 2' of fresh in there. From the Cabin up, about the same amount of fresh. The training hills weren't even getting pounded out. It was a little socked in. I am sure Sunday saw the same amount of traffic and a little bit of fresh.

Queest was great on Sunday. 2nd truck in, saw 2 groups all day. Came down, about a dozen trucks in the lot. Never had to go past the saddle to find deep in all the bowls. I would say less snow, much more wind blown up top. Hard to judge. 1'-1.5' of fresh. higher, more down low.

Its hard to judge this year it seems. Normally you get 10cm in town and 2' up top. This year you get 10cm in town and 20cm up top.

Had a lot of fun in the burn yesterday. Great spot for low vis conditions.

Looks like some warm weather next week, what is the elevation of most of the riding areas around Sicamous?

i would suggest blue lake as there is a nice training hill right at the cabin where you can still have lots of fun and is an excellent area overall for nothing too crazy unless you are looking for it.

Ya for sure one of the best places in Sicamous and trying to be a sledder hang out. BW next dooor is really good too. Both great supporters of the EV grooming and family/couple friendly.

Grooming was unreal well worth the 20 bones. Way better then any other groomed trails I have been on. The riding areas are really good too.

Grooming is always top notch in Sicamous. Thats why they win all the awards.
