The logging at Blue is either going to open up some cool play areas or have more people stage at Owls Head.

What a wonkey mess when you expect a road to not be where there is one now and the groomer following the road.

You are right about more people staging at Owl's Head.... parking lot was ridiculous there today

It's Xmas weekend. Typical. Normally there would be 100 plus at Blue after boxing day. Now everyone is piled in one staging area for another few weeks.

Used to be a good reason to drive past Boulder. Now....

I know the club will be working hard to come up with a plan but a even smaller parking lot at owls wasn't a great result.

Ventured over to blue cabin today from owls - trail reminded me of trail going out to keystone ! Trail was terrible to say the least ! When we got to blue there was alot of sledders there! Visibility was not the greatest! Was cloudy and light was terrible ! Once again alot of popular areas are tracked out ! We did find alot of endless powder in trees and areas that are somewhat not seen by the riders that are unfamiliar with area !

Blue Lake Update: As of today (Sunday Morning), the loggers have gone back in and have plowed the Blue Lake road. They are enforcing their industrial road closure and no recreational traffic is permitted. You can access Blue Lake from the Owlhead parking lot and the "conecter trail" was groomed Saturday night. Parking will be tight at Owlhead on Sunday and Monday but will be much quieter after that. Enjoy the fresh snow! Keep an eye on www.sledsicamous.com for the latest and greatest.

Not Sure
Need some snow.......everyone accessing from owlhead and there isn't much left for the groomer to work with. The throttle jockeys have it spun down to rock and ice and snow is brown up to 9k or so. A few more days and they will be gone home and trails can recover.

It was nice to meet you at the cabin! We will have to meet up and ride! We road eagle yesterday viz was brutal so we did not venture too far but lots of pow to be had! Was snowing bar too there was at least 15 trees and or branches on the trail coming down that were not there on the way up!
