No body rides Sicamous anymore? Not a conditions thread for this year that I could find.

Text went out in the side-by-side Sunday. He lives in Sicamous. I’m hoping he posts and tells us what he found.??

An example of snowpack last year vs this year. Not quite the same angle, but close enough.

Rode eagles pass two days ago. Tuesday February 13 th There was about 12-16 inches of fresh from Sunday. Trail up was in excellent condition.

Apparently nobody got the memo that the snow conditions weren’t very good. Blue Lake parking lot completely full today...LOL

Snirt up to about the 2.5km, rest of trail minty. Still pockets of fluffy pow to be had when you go looking. Some guys drove trucks to the 3km parking lot but not necessary at all.

Did a ride around yesterday to see what it is like. Not great and the access snow was receding quickly +8. Parking lots still quite full though and quite a few with big trailers riding gravel

I rode blue Lake two days ago. Parked at the bottom Snow was good till 3K and then 3 to 6K with lots of rocks. Up top was fully covered snowfall, but didn’t soften any tracks.
We played in old growth below the cabin and burned all our gas in a few hours
Went to Eagles and the ice layer there is death defying if you want to go anywhere big

Guess we are just spoiled and fussy living here cause we think the conditions are ch!t Hills are busy with visitors though.Better snow than anything around the cities in Alberta I guess.

That’s basically what I posted above without using the word ch!t lol
Been sledding decades in Reviy/moose area and expect way better conditions.

Conditions have gone downhill rapidly the last few days

We rode 2+ feet of untracked fresh on Wednesday. No concrete. Hit the exact spot an isolated storm dumped.
Blue lake parking/trail on Thursday however was a mess.

Gotta be ready this year it seems Things can change quickly day to day. It's a mud pit down at hunters staging and those south facing trails are taking a beating in the sun

The measuring stick at Owls finally has snow to the 6’ or 180cm marker. Might be getting good finally.

How is the parking and trail Doug

Rumor has it they got the rain on Wednesday overnight as well. Any one been out to confirm?
