At blue yes. Owl head u can but there is a few km of dirt/slush that turns into sheer ice for another km. kinda sketchy must use chains as we rolled up onto a truck down the bank and the trailer still on the trail...it was sheer ice so don't stop lol!

Yup but its real icy first thing in the am.You want to be early so you get a spot close to the trail head otherwise you have to run on the pavement[ouch]

rode Eagles on Sat. What an awesome day!

Hope they can get that groomer up to Eagles Pass pretty soon. Rode there Saturday and it sure wasn't worth the $20. Very uncharacteristic of Sicamous's great grooming program.

I think they packed the grooming in maybe. I haven't seen any trail collectors the last while and it doen't appear to be groomed often anymore. Went up Quest the other day. It was rough.

As we were leaving Eagle's on Sat we passed a truck with a groomer on the back. Not sure if it was going there or not.

If you never seen the collectors you must of arrived after they left. Grooming is still going Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club's new website has a grooming/snow report link.

Hey just wondering what the snow has been like this last week? Any new fresh stuff the past couple days? Bringing a couple buddys out this weekend and would like a little heads up so i can make a plan where to go.
Thanks!!

Depends, snow was awesome until Sunday, now is pretty setup. Pounding rain in valley right now.

thanks for the update! really appreciate it!

with the mild weather it doesn't take long to set up. There could be fresh pow in the morning, then its all clumping together by noon.

Still lots of snow though, almost t-shirt riding time!

Be there in two days, hopefully the valley rain is snow on top??? Forecast is for lots of rain next couple of days. Is what it is, bringing rain coat.

If your clothing is losing its water proofness a trash bag works great to get from the truck to the snow
