No cabin at Brewer. Just a teepee. Lol. Buddies rode there on Wednesday. Said it is really short on snow. Lots of open creeks is what there saying. Said they probed 85cm. They rode forester on Tuesday. Didn't really ask them about it. All I know is one of them came out with two bent a-arms and one shock. At Brewer just watch the first opening you come to in the alpine. That's where a lot of open creeks will be.

What's the parking like at Forester? Never been and looking to go for a ride over new years. I have all the maps and guides but I've heard we might need chains and that makes me nervous. We'll be driving a one ton with sled deck. Is the access pretty good this year with them logging? How many kms is the trail after the parking area?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Access is excellent. They are logging up around km 27. A new parking lot was built this year. Chains not needed. Recommend winter tires as the road can be a bit icy but it's good right now. The grooming has been excellent too.

Imo it's better to have chains and not need them than not have and need.... seen lots of big fancy lifted trucks stuck on the road.
Have gone in when its snowing came out in the rain..... chains needed that day.
Don't be the guy who gets stuck and pisses everyone else off who is following.
Be prepared, number one rule when backcountry traveling.

Agreed, just meant that they shouldn't be needed this week. Supposed to stay well below freezing with minimal snow. It would be great if everyone had chains, radios, winter tires etc., but reality is that most don't.
Hope we get some fresh stuff. I'm turning into a powder snob with the great start we've had this year.

Rode Forster yesterday, found a little fresh getting adventurous in the valley but it is very short overall. Up top was worse than the valley, wind blown and rock everywhere. Need a big dump on this base and the riding will get good. Lots of sleds heading up to the glacier as usual. Really too bad that we can't stay away until it is open as a collective group to ensure it stays available to us in the future.
