Eagle Pass has been a very "fluid" sitution. We have been updating the website as information changed, sometimes at the last minute, but warming weather conditions and restrictions from logging operations have not always given us much notice. I suspect most of your challenges came on Saturday - I was up there myself. Since the family day weekend, we have not seen much more then 50 sleds in a day - sometime only 3! However, on Saturday, the hill was slammed with over 110 sleds and the parking was overwhelmed and lots went elsewhere. We will see about trying to improve the situation for next week. In the mean time, sorry for the inconvenience and we will try and do better.

And hey Bobsledder, I am a volunteer director on both the Snowmobile Club and the Groomming Society and there are lots of people still working hard to make sure spring sledding is lots of fun

Yes I know you are working hard and your hotel lot is full at night so that is good. Just asking that information is there for out of towners so they can plan.
I heard the complaints in the parking lot last week. That was at Owlhead which isn't being logged like Eagles.

What happened with this ^^ snow sounds like freezing level went way up? Rain to the top or super deep?

So the info I was told yesterday from eagles is that it rained all day snow was very wet and heavy would be nice to get a little more snow! Here hoping

We have had quite a bit of precip in Sicamous over the last few days. Thursday it was reported that it rained up to 5000' but snow above that. Another sledder reported 24cm fresh at Eagle Pass with a 300+cm base.
The logging is done at Eagle Pass but there will still be some parking challenges on busy days. Check out www.sledsicamous.com for the parking info on all four hills.
Stay safe out there this weekend with warm temps and wet snow!

hmmm only 24cm of new makes it sound like most of the precip fell as rain even up high.....march is usually one of the best months but this year has been a bummer.

So far the skies are looking pretty clear this week but we did get a number of dumps last week. I talked to guys that were up Sunday and they were still finding good snow that wasn't tracked up. Have a great weekend.
