Just so everyone knows we don't always get stuck, I actually got some pics from my fellow cohorts from yesterday showing that we do indeed stay above snow level, some times! And, that Jared (maybe spelled right this time!) on his blue Poo dosen't always mate with trees!

I rode queest the last 2 days and as for the people driving up past km 6 I don't know who they are but I don't see anything wrong with it they are not hurting the trail in any way I just think that the people bitching is the ones with trailers who park at the bottom of the hill but that's just my 2 cents worth

Well I wasn't one of the ones with the trailers, I was at 6km where the grooming started. Really, nothing wrong with it? So why not just drive up to 15 km, or even to the cabin for that matter. There's big bucks spent by the Club to keep the trail groomed for SLEDS, not for motor vehicles, and sledders pay big bucks to have that trail groomed for THEM, not for motor vehicles. Why set a bad precedent at the beginning of the year by doing it. In past years they had the same problem and had to finally block the trail off, it is in fact wrong to drive on a groomed trail, and I'm thinking the Club would agree with that..........

Not really the point of the post's JJ, the fact that your not complaining. I suppose because no one was coming down the trail on a sled when they were driving up on the groomed portion and collided with the truck, that it still makes it "OK" to drive on a groomed trail. Anyways, one of those morons that were parked at 8km were staying at the BW and they were last seen this AM headed West, outta town, on the hunt for another groomed trail I suspect!

Making a trip to sicamous this friday for 4 days of riding with 8 other guys.
might be stupid question but can i guy climb up the waterfall at eagles?
where would be the best to take advantage of the monday snow forecasted for are last day on tues?
lakes frozen at eagles and blue?
skinny ridge passable to head over to mara lookout?
both trips last year were with 10ft plus snow so not sure how the five feet will change the terrain
Thanks in advance

Went across skinny last Sunday, and the Sunday before

As long as it shoveled and not trenched out your good to go


Eagles I always wait till closer to Christmas to ride, unless it's been a deep epic year, as it has big stumps, rocks, ect

Lakes should be frozen good now as it's been cold

Been across Morton Lake the last 2 prior weekends

Eagles has been claiming a lot of parts lately, but its headlight deep in areas, most chutes are super tricky the ex:the rock at the top of doghouse is sticking out a few feet, last year same time it was covered,queest is good but I left sicamous a few days ago due to the areas being so badly tracked out, you really have to search for the deep stuff.

P.s a good idea would be to contact eagle Valley lodge the owner will be able to steer you in the right direction.
