Re: luceille

I heard the trail was groomed Saturday night, was it easy going Sunday? Also was that one hill easier to get up? 2 Trucks apparently jack knifed trying to get up.

Glad you had fun, post some pics!

Re: luceille

Yes the hill before the landing was a bit icey. The groomed trail up was the icing on the cake. I was more than happy to pay for the groomer. Thanks. And to the guy that drives the groomer, you must have some big ones cause that is one skinny trail in places.

I do not know for sure if it was a planed thing or a test. We saw the groomer on the back of a truck Sat morning it had no tracks on it, went to Spin Drift to get some spare plugs and were told there it wasnt starting till monday on renshaw. Then Sat end of the day saw it going up.:beer: This was at lucielle

Riverjet, don't bother with that site for your grooming updates. This site is where you'll get your most current updates for snowfall and grooming. Barry, judy and glengine are always updating the info plus Hotrod has a phone hotline that he'll update probably right away.

Wow crazy. Heading up friday, sounds like my back is going to be dead by sunday. Epic powder is amazing, but not when your bringing two people who've never been to the mountains.....O well it will be great no matter what!

Just curious, how is the drive up to lucile and bell expected to be this weekend? Like will it be plowed? Just wondering will probably depend which vehicles will be brought.

And how the heck did that truck get in there? What did it take to pull him out? Can't see most pickups being capable it looks pretty dang bad.
