Parked at 6 km last Sunday.

Depends on if its plowed to nothing again.

Rode up owls today - road has been plowed recently - we did ride up from bottom - some vehicles did drive up to 17 km - there was a four place at 17 km - not sure how he got turned around . we didnt venture to cabin - but headed over to blue lake and back played in a few meadows! there is decent snow in trees - some of creeks are still exposed! A BIG dump is needed for sure !

Yup rode from 7km up was fine for sledding, little slick in some spots would be best to chain up if you drive, one guy jack knifed his open 4 place at the switch back at 7.5km. Trail in to the cabin is a rodeo. Thanks to Eagle Pass Doo for the smokies!

Any one know if eagles is good to ride as far as less land mines.

Eagles still has a few landmines out their so be careful buddy tagged a rock on the way out and took out an a arm on Sunday. Their was a good 4ft of fresh uptop on saterday. Waterfall is not ready yet, but their is a pretty decent single track going up through the trees. Plan is to take two groomers up through the trees to the cabin on the next good clear day. Helicopter will also be going up to deliver the stove and the stairs for the cabin. Most of the creeks are filling in nicely up top. The lakes are still not frozen completely. Pretty tough visibility on the weekend but we had a great weekend. The new cabin is very nice, they did a really good job building it and it is in a great location. Trails were in phenomenal shape.

Parking in main lot, road is somewhat plowed to km 4 for logging

A little video from the past three days at Eagles, Owlshead and Blue Lake. Pretty good summary of conditions by E-Zmoke.
