Rock solid hard.
It was actually ridden to that point.
You can se it in picture 2....Other pic was a close up with my chitty phone. Fellow was in same spot
I barely can use the camera and upload to this site....LOL
Let alone anything fancy..

Yes, I understand. I was just poking the bear!

The next week of warm weather is going to make things even worse. We need a reload in the worst way. I am into doing a kitchen back splash right now, so at least I have something to do.

Was a good day. The old 2015 proclimb with us is giving was greif. Struggles to run good.
He's just in the process of going back together now. Pulled the power valves out they were fairly Carboned. Really hoping that was the issue.
Find out tomorrow
Today was day 3 of 11 for me.

Didn't take many pictures today.
Snow is very crusty. Icy in the trees.
Still had a blast.
8 more days to go

Can you get a 4 place enclosed to the staging area for Griffin?

You have two options. Stage down below. Run gravel up. Over heat a lot.
Or attempt the trailer up higher.
With chains I think you could. That road was slick. And those corners are tight.

There isn't much room up there. So you'd want to be 1st

Thanks. How far off the hwy is the lower staging area?

1km, but they were actively logging on the Griffen fsr.

What's the story for parking at Griffin with sled decks? Is there a way to do it without running afoul of the loggers and having to ride sleds on gravel?
RXN that's good info but it's the first I've heard this year for Griffin. Looking for more.

It is signed not to ride sleds on the road.
I would definitely drive up next time knowing what I know now. Give me a bit I'll toss up some maps.
Make sure you have a GPS of some sort. It is very easy to get turned around in there. It is all trees. No alpine.

Funny....had a decent time in 3 different zones on the weekend. Nice pockets of spring snow but no tracks most of the time. Storm cycle coming this week, so lets get back to winter.

There is some alpine on griffen, but ya mostly trees and meadows.

Starting to snow

 

[RXN]

Looking for some advice or tips.
Trying to figure out our plan for tomorrow. Wanting to try some new areas.

Debating
Hall
Area 51
Mt McRae.
Sale

What would be recommended and why?
We are more into the trees over alpine.

 

[adamg]

I'd heard you can only ride Hall on weekends due to logging.
Sale is pretty sweet.
Personally I prefer trees and I didn't think A51 was worth the trail and drive to get into.
