I concur, i have had some pretty awesome deep day's this year, infact zero hard pack days for this guy but all great pow rides. The season is just cut a little short...

Wasn't the same as last year guys, where every ride I went was 2-3 feet plus


And no polar friggin vortex for a month

Yep last year we were spoiled , had at least couple feet of fresh almost every weekend , this year snow pack down at least 5 feet and snow maybe every 3/4 weekend ! Mother nature !!??

Its not last year but i'm on par with last year in rides and honestly i can say i had one day that the weather and snow conditions were not great and i was riding a local area in Sicamous, it was just ok. Otherwise it has been 2-2.5ft pow every time.
The biggest dif is i haven't rode the traditional places where all them tourist ride, they come through and its like a freckin pavement compactor came through.

BTW i'm going to be the tourist for a few days, should be good.

Road last weekend, all common areas were tracked out , did manage to find some untouched, but it was mashed potatoes on top and no bottom

Hey guys, I'm working overseas and wondering what your thoughts are to a mid April trip - do you think there'll be much left to ride - home on the 12th of April?

I've rode in June up there before but snow year was way better than this year. Mid April shouldnt be a problem for snow on top but sometimes tricky to get there

Anybody riding today that has room for one more guy? My riding buddy bailed on me last minute.

The views were nice. Snow was settled and heavy with a crusty layer. North aspects in shade ok.

Parked at 6.5 km at owls, snow down low is going fast, unfortunately the road was plowed to 12 km till Dec 10, so I guess


Went all the way over to Gordon Sydney cabin, been a few years since a guy made the trek that way

Boy oh boy is the snow low for amount this year, not much at g. S cabin, where last year had to shovel down to get in ( seen pics)

a momory of last year just popped up on my facebook today. we were still on the rise this time last year and riding 2' of fresh in the logging blocks over by the g.s

we rode quest on sunday. was pretty hard over there also with a crust on top of 6". sun didn't come out enough to soften things up top so we stayed low in the trees.

Thinking of riding blue lake Saturday. Anybody know if there is a turnaround up there? Taking a trailer. Are tire chains needed or good studded winters? If anyone knows the road better then we do please let us know. We will ride Revy if it isn’t safe to try get to blue lake

 

[tex78]

Might have to drive up to 10-13 km now, we parked at 8 km last sunday

Enclosed trailers pretty hard after 10 km if there's others up there and no room, same thing with 10 km if it's full

Wrong time of year for enclosed lol

Yeah the spring sure came fast this year. There is 3 of us going so my deck is out this weekend with this unfortunately. If we gotta go somewhere else that’s fine.

Just looking for input as I’m not as familiar in Sicamous as Revy.

How is was the snow?
