Silent Pass conditions

[bigredmachiene]

Has anyone checked he trail at silent or been out that way. Lately. I'm thinking of riding silent possibly next weekend or quartz.

lol there is only mayby 12" at 5500ft right now... Keep waiting.

I'll let you know how it looks after the 28th....

I would say you're going to ride a few km of gravel from the washed out bridge.

If there's a way - I have the will

I will have help and if not broke in already, we'll get up there !!!
.... anyone interested ???

I would love to but I need a break in ride for the new Pro. And don't want a gravel rock garden. The real test would be the hill climb before the first lake.

Might be interested for sure.. We are gonna head north of town this week coming up to get some break In miles on the sleds!

We'll be definitely taking a look if the snow is up from what it is now...
29th might be the day to try it if they get another big dump before then.

Buddy and I broke into silent on Wednesday was a lot less snow then last few years. Drove to 56km. Could have drove the truck to where the bridge is out. Some skiers had been in there last weekend by the looks of it. Wouldn't take a newer truck in to far because of the willow branches. New T3 ran great still lots of rock and stump on the trail in. Snow was good after the first lake.

What KM did you hit snow at with the truck?

Here she comes! Prepare to get swallowed. Lots o snow popping up in forecast.

How was the trail up to the first lake and what km was there enough snow to unload at

 

[copper xp]

Hit snow at 47km only 2-3in. Trail up to the first lake was really rocky. We didn't go up the water fall.

 

[RaspberryNytro]

Nice work man !!!

Did you break in around to the right, above the trees ? That's usually where we go each year, and then come down the waterfall to pack it in the low spots

RSby Nitro- you should have some deep pulls next weekend. 70cm forecasted thru Wednesday night. Looks like that will be the end of this storm. Hopefully its just a break and we get more nukage after. Let us know how your voyage goes!

updated forecast now calling for 96cm thru thursday!

Had some rental customers up there yesterday... looked rocky...
with 60+cm in the forecast by friday next weekend might be pretty sporty!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but is there not only one lake at Silent pass? At least as far as sledding goes. I see one above McMurdo cabin on Google earth but doubt anyone has seen that from the seat of a snowmobile.

I believe there is actually 3, tough to tell when it's a snow covered but I am sure there's 3

There are three open lake/ marsh areas around Silent Lake but you are correct there is only the one big lake that can be seen from Google earth.

I think some people confuse the big meadow (bottom left in the picture) for a lake because it's relatively flat.
