Hi Blue Jewel. Thanks for all the updates. For those of us travelling from near and far it is greatly appreciated. We are coming there on Jan 25 and will be staying at the holy smoke. Looking forward to meeting you. We will be riding on the 26, 27, 28. We are not sure just yet what areas to ride. Your thoughts or the suggestions of anyone who has been out in the blue river area are greatly appreciated.

salmon, ground hog, foam creek are all south of town maybe 15 kms or so. All in the same parking lot. Salmon is the larger of the three. All three areas are obviously different terrain. I would say salmon also has the most tree riding and none of these places are for hill climbers. Not many people seem to be into hill climbing big open faces anyway. There are other places close to town. Parberry for example is north of town a few kms and on the east side of the highway. north blue is on the west with access near town. Ungroomed area and not good at all if there is marginal avy conditions or overcast.

Thanks for the info foxstar. There is 6 of us going. 2 of them have been there a couple times so we are not completely in the dark. Lol. Went to valemount last year and rode chapel all 3 days. The POW was amazing and there were only a few small groups on the entire mountain.

Have read here that no more parking at the dump.
10 days ago the river/creek crossing was frozen and good to cross.
With the cold temps I am guessing the river is still frozen
