Chatter Creek Road

[Gen5 Skidoo 850 Darryl]

Does anyone know if Chatter is still opening to sleds next weekend? What is the condition of the B-road and how far down the road is snow? Can you drive a sled from lower parking lot at km 69?

As far as I know, it's still a go. It better be. I haven't heard anything otherwise from them.

 

[scotts]

Sure hope it's a go!!

Do you Chatter veterans have any advice for first timers? Do you guys pull a skimmer or something to haul stuff in?
is it worthwhile hauling in fuel or is it just far easier to bite the bullet and buy it up there?? Any advise would be greatly appreciated, my son and I are headed there on the 12th.

As far as I know. Fuel is not available. May if you are staying at the lodge though. We are not that lucky though. We will be roughing below main parking lot.

 

[scotts]

We are going to be staying at the lodge! But it's not too far down to the trucks anyway is it??

Parking lot too Lodge is 20 ish kms.

It's not that far if they keep it groomed,,, total 4@!! if it is not.

They will inform the public if the slid comes down at km 48 ish.

They had a cat & hoe sitting there ready a month ago. Pretty sure that they are still there.

It is a mess, good luck with trailers. Km 22.5, 29, 39 are the worst.

Heading out there next week, will I have problems with a small 2 place open trailer? What issues are with the road? Just a butt ton of pot holes? Thanks for any info. I know me and my group will appreciate it.

Just mud holes at the Km's mentioned above, 2 place open should be fine may just be a rough ride cause you'll have to keep your speed through the mud

We didn't go as far as chatter, snow was really wet down low but the higher you went the better. The fresh stuff had set up but would be nice with another load on top of it.

My son was at the chatter office today, said raining in the valley but apparently snowing up at the lodge!

Snow pack has been great. More than the last 3-5years. That being said don't confuse this with powder dreams, weather has been positive temps overnight for quit sometime now. Freeze line is about 2000meter. Expect bumper deep at best, more realistic spindle deep.

road is fine for early chatter, parking is the problem. Some big frost heaves this year on the road. Strap your **** down.

Heading up next weekend!! Cant wait for our 3 day stay.!!

Yeah. Road was quite the adventure. Lol.
Snow was amazing up top. Rained Friday but Sunday was bluebird.
No ice cave on Vertabrae this year though.
