2011/2012 Sicamous (Eagle Valley) Updates

[sicamous]

The season is coming!! Thanks to the crews who went up to the Queest cabin a few weeks ago and then up to the Blue Lake cabin on Sunday (Oct. 16th) to cut firewood, repair, paint etc. We had 20 to 25 folks from the Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club and the Sicamous Quadding Club helping out. Check out the snow at Blue Lake (snow starts at about 17k). There is lots of firewood in both basements so.... please don't burn the siding

Yah. Huge thanks to all the volunteers that keep these areas and chalets in great shape. Mucho appreciation from the many sledders that enjoy them every winter. I'll be sure to buy my membership while I'm out there visiting family next weekend. I was planning on bringing the sled along and trying to ride Queest, do any of you think this is at all possible? I know theres high probability of shmucking rocks even on the trail but she's a beater and if a rock can bend it one way I can bend it the other. Just wanted to know if from the cabin up there would be at least over a foot? I'll drive as far as I have to, been up there on quads and I'm sure my truck will go as high as I need too. Would I be better off trying Owls or Blue instead. Any feedback would be great, even just to tell me I'm a dumbass for thinking it, I got thick skin. Thanks

any snow pack updates??? looking for some picks here to stay motovated at work.............. work sucks.

 

[Bigborecat]

Went up to Blue Lake today still lots of missles hiding, unloaded at 10k (6") and snow pack never changed much till I got to Cummings Lake need at least another 2 feet to make it worth while, excellent base to start (around 3'), going to staying home till mid week and then go check it again, ya depressing

 

[honky]

Back at Kingfisher Nov 13 and was greeted with 2 feet fresh at Stash. Played hard all day.

 

[chrishew]

Rode all 3 days this weekend. Went up Queest Friday 4 feet of snow and coming down hard couldn't see a thing. Tryed Owlshead Saturday, little bit of a rough ride to get into the Chalet looked to be about 2 feet so motored back down loaded up and headed across to Queest again still socked in bad and was by myself so made a fire and chilled out for a couple of hours at the chalet. Sunday I wasn't planning on going but I could see the sky trying to open and boy am I glad I did. 4-5 feet of snow and beautiful clear skies met up with Bill and rode until the sun went down. What a great end to the first weekend out.

 

[takethebounce]

Still way too many stairs showing! I see some new deck supports though

 

[Bigborecat]

Checked Queest out Nov.19th great day, still have to watch for the odd landmine, lake is not frozen well enough so stay off, foot or more of powder on a good base, awesome day. Road is slippery at the bottom, unloaded at 6.5k

 

[dnicolle]
