BLUE RIVER 2016/2017 Conditions and Updates

[mechanist]

My buddies and I are interested in trying Blue River this year. Does anybody have any maps of the staging areas and riding areas they would like to share?

You will want to kick yourself for not going there sooner.

I ventured into Ghog East yesterday finding 65cms of hard base with 35 cms of fresh @ 5500'. Had to drive up 14kms to unload in 20cms of fresh.

Snow in the forecast all week and we awoken to 10cms in town this morning and it's still falling.

Follow Blue River Sledz on Instagram for daily pictures and condition updates.

Rode Ground Hog East yesterday. Unload at KM 10 and there was about 1"-2" of snow on the trail up for the first 2KM and then the snow got better the higher you went. The drainages thru the cut block are not filled in with snow yet but you can get past them no problem, you also have to get across a few creeks once past the cut block. The snow was really good up top!! In most places we found 155cm. 85cm base with 70cm of powder on top. Lots of open creeks and hazards still but if your careful you should have no issues at all slaying the powder!!

You should not bring a 4 place up the groundhog trail been there spent 4 hours turning around 2 trucks with 4 place trailers thankfully we had a winch on one
know I have a deck and a light 2 place for poor access trips

 

[Out riding]

Anyone want to ride this weekend or next week?

 

[Merc63]

Any reports from today? Heading up tomorrow to ride mon/tue, need to know if we should take the decks or can use the enclosed with the snow today.

Where ya guys riding and hows the snow??

Just rode groundhog east today merc. 80cm to 100 cm of fresh up top. With the snow that has fallen today I am assuming we will be shredding from the staging areas. About a foot of snow in town at blue. We're gonna do adventure tomorrow somewhere else. Will give an update on the drive home for you boys.

 

[Merc63]

80 to 100cm powder on a good base?? Or that's your total base depth?


Thanks we are gonna bring the enclosed. Highway cams look good.
