This is truth. And experience talking I'm guessing.

Any info on how the snowpack set up after the rain?

Ski tour yesterday from a friend.
Rode silent this weekend. The trail in is very very long. And after the logging road, the trail is pounded out. Badly needs a groom for a trail that length. Snow up top was good. Back side got more rain than the front. Lots of fresh snow on Sunday but snow was wet and heavy. Needs colder temps! Still had a great weekend. Parking was at KM 20

Much for hazards or is it mostly covered up now?
Some hazards in the trees yes. Creeks are open and the trails over them were falling in due to the rain. Few guys ripped over the lake and it was slush underneath. Could definitely use more snow after the rain. And a groom!

Not enough snow to get grooming yet.?

Sounds like they completed the first groom of the year at silent yesterday. Parking at 21km and no further... Long ride in but with it groomed now should be nice!

Park at 21, enter trees at 55... +30km trail ride will get old fast. Especially down that valley, it’s always bitter ****ing cold

Ya I don't know what it is about that draw but your right it always chilly. Thanks for the update on the groomer. Anyone going up tomorrow or Saturday?

Rode silent today. Parking @ 21 something. Decent turn around but the usual probably not great if four guys show up with enclosed units. Trail in to 46 where the groomer quit was still in pretty good shape. 46 on was brutal. Can anyone explain to me why they're not grooming to the end of the road?
Once up top it was pretty good. Bout a foot or 2 of fresh. Few landmines you could feel underneath once in a while. Lakes definitely need some more snow. If you punched it hard you'd chew right down to water. We broke through the top of the ridge and dropped over into the far back end. Was really nice back there once the light quit being so flat. Few other guys made it back in there later in the day. The front side and the lakes is pretty well pounded out now but the back would probably be alright for a couple days without a reload as long as you can see.
Other then a rough trail it was a pretty good day.

When we were at Silent a few weeks ago the groomer was already sitting at 46. I suspect they just went in by sled and retrieved it back to 21, grooming on the way out. Maybe it wasn't fueled enough to do the whole job?

To save costs sometimes they only groom one way then sled out or sled in to the groomer
