Did anyone get out riding Forester on the weekend? If so, how as it? I'm thinking of going up there this weekend with the kid and was wondering if it's worth the effort. Does anyone know when the last day of grooming is?

Was also wondering - I know its spring and deck season, but wondering if smaller 3-place enclosed is doable up that road or not?

It was bumper deep. Still grooming, parking at 27.7 ice trail from there to 33k and snow from there.

Sweet! We will be heading up there Saturday. Thanks for the update!

The hill at 24 km is nasty, chains recommended. Been a few big trailers in trouble this week.

Trail into Rocky Point is the worst I've ever ridden.

Yup, report I got was injury was to late in the day for a heli and they had to stay at sled shed. Got lifted the next day, scary situation apparently. Healing vibes to the injured.

Any idea on the last day of grooming for forester?

 

[pano-dude]

Until the weather says no more... It's week to week now.

Glacier rip today and it was a good one. Freshly groomed trail last night to start the day and bumper deep pow all day.

Had a good day out at forester saturday after helping some guys in trouble on the road up to forester. Seen a bit of sun but pretty cloudy most of the day. Never made it up to the lakes or glacier due to the weather but about 2' of fresh, heavy, wet snow kept us busy in the valley. Trail is getting pretty thin but still good. It was my 5 y/o daughters first mountain sledding experience and she loved it so it was a success.

What was your daughter riding? My son has a 120 but not sure those things are allowed or any good except hard packed. He is 3.5yrs, will be a number of yrs until he mountain rides.
