How low is the snow line? Can a guy ride from the parking lot yet?

 

[Merc63]

How deep is it? Any base?

 

[TJ(turbojoe)]

I wouldn't take a trailer past 2km. We drove to around 13km I think. But that was it. And it was dumping when we drove out. I would say a min of 2feet up To 4-5feet. Deffinetly a good pull to get To the cabin . 2 guys not on turbos couldn't make it. I wouldnt say conditions are great but for Nov 6 it was pretty ****ing good .

When does grooming start or is there not much to groom?

 

[turboetech]

Usually not until December .....it's still prety early season..... But we will take it.... Keep snowing

 

[Merc63]

So guys without turbos couldn't even make it to the cabin? Snow too deep or what is the issue?

 

[j.c.higgins]

Hotrod usually looks at the last week of November to start the grooming! The snowline has to get down close to the parking lot so that he's got enough to work with. And it's looking good for snow by what the weather reports forecast!!

Well the guys we were with that didn't Make it up(*non turbos) new how To Ride so call it what you want. The last couple kms up to the cabin was deep. Wether you made it or not to the cabin we all had an absolute blast . I thank the people of McBride and elsewhere for all their hard work from bridges to cabins etc to allow us to enjoy their back yards like it was our own.

 

[Merc63]

That's beautiful news. Can't wait to get up there!! Forecast looks amazing too.

Went up Belle today. Took the kid for his first time in the mountains and put some miles on the new engine.

 

[slededjr]

We drive approximately 300m past the staging are and unloaded. Trail is scratchy with bare spots for 100m roughly until the "y" . Trail on left has much more snow then Trail on right. Found a few spots almost to the headlights, was pushing through over bumper deep around Cabin. Very soft, not much base but broke in the new engine and took the itch off. 5 or 6 others were up as well and went back further. See what they say later.

Thanks for the update. Next weekend is looking promising.

 

[slededjr]

How is access into bell/Lucille ? does a person still have to truck up the trail a bit to the snowline? or can a you ride from the parking lot already? Was hoping to pull a trailer and ride next weekend.

Next weekend you should be good from staging at Belle. We only drove 200 m past. Lots of snow in the forecast.
