Hey Doug, do you know if they are logging on the lodgepole? Thinking of checking out Harvey. Thanks

They were and it was plowed on past the compressor station and into the Flathead from what I heard. Haven't heard when they will be finished. That is second hand information so I don't really know the validity.

we were at morrissey yesterday for a ride the road going in is rougher than the trail going to the cabin, the parking lot was almost full by 2 and it was chilly going up the trail at a good speed. not a lot of snow but enough to have fun in the open meadows, they need a big dump the area is getting rode hard with all the traffic. when are they going to open the coal creek staging area it is a lot closer to drive.

Really!!!! NOT A LOT OF SNOW!!!! Wow we pulled fresh lines all day long with a min 2-3' fresh untouchedand wayyyyyy deeper in other areas. When you got to the main areas yes it was pounded but I guess you need to know where to go and was really surprised that we didn't see people where the deep stuff was (maybe 6 sleds) but saw 20-30 at the pipeline

Good and nice to hear. But that Shawn dude has some stashes that are quite secret!

We rode untracked today also. I wouldn't nor would anybody that rode up there today pay for a trail pass on that trail. It is very tough to remaining positive and help out with the trail as whooped out as it is. Morrissey to the Wranglers is brutal. The trail around the Summit is good as there is not much traffic there. Gotta get another groom in there pretty soon.

Still trucks going up and down on Monday. No idea when they will be finished. If there was a great big dump of snow, they may say they are finished instead of plowing and the trouble operating. If there is not a great big dump, I would expect them to continue no matter what they tell the public.

That sucks. Well hopefully there are many big dumps for many obvious reasons and they can wrap up.
