They can really suck when travelling into zones less traveled. This particular zone has 23 and some are no more than 50’ apart.

The first and third pics look like its the end of the season, not the start of it.

Yep those were in April. Middle was February I think.

It’s about an inch deep and a foot or two wide, barley worth mentioning.

[bobsledder]

Parking after 2.5 K The first 2 k are very slick and icy. bring chains. repeat of last years circus. groomed over to blue lake not to Owlhead cabin

 

[flatspeed]

Blue lake again yesterday, it's getting good.

 

[flatspeed]

Owlhead on boxing day: Bitter cold, trail from the connector to cabin is ungroomed and whooped out, but oh so worth it. Sunny up top, cold smoke and fresh tracks all day!

Ps. Snow above cabin elevation is safe to dip into, anything below, well, a-arms beware.

Gee not much activity - everyone must be hibernating !

Ya, it's fuggin cold out there. Was supposed to be riding all week, but everyone came up with excuses.

This was Monday.

 

[bobsledder]

Road building is taking place on Quest and 6.5km to park for sledding. The use of radios and chains are required.

Owlhead is currently affected by some road building and logging. The first 2 km of trail will be shared with heavy equipment.

Blue Lake and Eagle Pass parking at the bottom.

Blue Lake not logging? Staging in the Malakwa lot?

Blue, yesterday. Phenomenal! Where? Everywhere! Billdozer, Lawn Dart, Roberto and myself hit the freshly groomed trail not bright or early, kinda like us. The majority of sledders appeared to veer off at 10km and hit Sugar Loaf, we opted for the usual route and were not disappointed. Every spot we hit before the cabin and below the cabin , untouched, headlight high snow, all day! The sleds that were up there were huddled in the cabin????? Snowed all day, bad day for goggle freeze up, no one could keep them cleared. Still many holes here and there, zero base in some spots, clear cuts still very iffy. I did manage a patented Billdozer Barrel Roll pic at the very end of the day, the bugger is getting faster on his boots though because he exited from the "turtle on its back" position before I could snap the glossy. He will no doubt now post some bogus pic of me which is merely me marking the trail that had a bad spot, for other riders to avoid, thats it!! Great day boys!!

yes all good from that side. Stay away from owlhead side. They are logging and plowing the road. Parking as always is an issue at blue but not as bad as Owlhead will be. Way more snow to the east as well.
