Okanogan Shuswap Riding conditions and Updates 2014/2014

To bad it warmed up so much, going to go for a poke and get some break in Km on the new sled tomorrow. All the snow through the week got me to excited to stay home.

Its snowing right now if that helps

Yes it was warm all night, avalanche conditions aren't looking good with all this wet heavy snow. And now a rain crust. I went for a ride yesterday instantly stuck as soon as I got into the deep. Let's hope for cold weather soon.

Where did you get out for a ride?

Ha cold weather is on its way. Very cold.

Two weekends in a row that I have had plans cancelled. Geash at least I managed to get out for a few days but that is almost three weeks ago.

Up at monashee powder snow cats I'm the head chef up here I have a few areas I ride. I only go out on my break durning the day so. I haven't got much riding in at all.

Ah okay. Wasn't sure what area you were up.

Thanks.

Other than riding Joss I haven't been up that area but if you were getting warm temps and rain there I would say further West sucks too.

I was surprised how many stumps and logs are laying across the road into owlshead cabin. We turned around pretty quick once the trail got bad. Tex ain't kiddin that it needs another 3'
