Was in there today. We were the first in and played all day till fuel ran low. It was good snow and fresh lines with deep snow in creeks

You know what really shocked us... was the load on the hills and the size of the avy that came down most likely friday night and the first group we saw in there went straight up a loaded slope... i guess the "no tracks from us " meant nothing to them and to top that off they had music blaring away while they rode... guess thats what the cool kids do now. lol

Its called culling the herd so only the bright are left to carry on.
Rode quartz yesterday... very tracked. Crazy bastereds where doing huge climbs we were scared for, we left the area as we didn’t want to see or be apart of a triggered avalanche.
Today we were in silent but I think my truck needs a set of balljoints now! Stagged at the 21km mark and Excellent trail to the 46km staging area. From there up didnt look like it was groomed in a long long time, Extremely rough. On the way down a small slide has part of the trail covered, can still get by though. Snow was amazing! Blue sunny day and Very deep and untracked in the back! Stayed away from High slopes, seen 2 big slides! Clocked on 140km, made it back with just enough fuel. Wish we could make it back again tomorrow if it was to be groomed!

Don't think them culvert crossings will ever hold up. Only gets worse in the spring when I head in there to chatter. They'd have to do some expensive road work to make it decent. But still all worth it in my books. Just drive accordingly

Is it possible to turn a four place around at km21 at silent pass? I take it they are not logging up there anymore?
Also wondering if anyone has any information on hobo creek i think its called?
Thanks.

There is usually adequate room to turn anything around. Unless a group of inconsiderats get there ahead of you and decide to park like they own the place.

Was there Friday and there was room but the earlier you get there the better and ya sometimes the is a couple of people that think the middle of the road is the best spot to park. But year after year that's the normal stupidity

We took our four place up there last week. It was snug with ten trucks there but wasn't to bad.

lots of room if you are there early or if people would park along the road and leave the turn around area open

Went to Quartz today pretty good reload nothing major 2ft in some spots 8inchs in others. Was the first person to lite a fire in the new fireplace nice addition but needs a good rack like valmount for drying everything. The trail was in great shape heading to silent tomorrow will give an update

Was at Silent today. Probably 40 riders in total. Road is plowed and lightly sanded to about 20 km. Trail was freshly groomed but just starting to get a little bumpy on the way out. Visibility was decent but couldn't get over to the back side. It'll be awesome back there if the sun pops out. Lots of snow left to ride.
Ps. Accidentally dropped my Spot on the trail near the top of the waterfall. Hopefully someone picked it up.
