Pipeline

Well.... if you made the decision not to go for a ride in this area, HAH sorry for your loss. Snow was extreme deep in the trees with mega fluff. Me and jared hit it up, had ohhh i dunno 8" at the tinshack and then it just started to get deeper as we went in further. Past the cabin and almost to the notch it was ok in here, nice and deep. But the real fluff was in the rolling hills. Wow. Avy conditions around notch where there, thats for sure, but if you play safe in the trees, theres not alot to worry about.

ps, trail in was definately getting rough through the day, smoothed out after that "big" hill just before wranglers cabin.

If you guys drove another 20-30 minutes to the Coal Creek staging area, you would have a baby butt smooth trail all the way to the Wrangler's and back to the trucks.....just saying

We rode from the yellow gates to wranglers yesterday and it was awesome. Snow is great right now, lets hope it keeps coming!

Thanks. How much of base? Any landmines still hiding underneath?

are you really asking this type of question in march??? LOL if your that concerned, mayby you should ride the pow.

Those landmines are still there.....

If depends what you are talking about regarding size of land mine as most have 8-10' of packed snow on them. There are the occasional nuggets showing in the high wind blown areas (normal) and those big stumps they left 100 years ago that were left too long. Also, big nuggets in the open creeks (we deal with that all year long). And I nearly forgot, those big pokey things that the goats climb are still very evident.

Always pays to be careful out there, eh!

Only ridden down that way a few times (latest being January) and saw a few guys with "stump" issues. Haven't seen any photos in awhile, but your 8-10' of base sounds sweet! Thank you.

Rode Saturday. Pipeline was in great shape and lots of snow still in the trees. Wind was filling in the pipeline nicely. One nasty creek crossing, but other than that, well worth the trip. Should be even better with the snow forescasted for today/tomorrow.
