sliver mine

Bad idea- avalanche risk high. tight narrow-long valley with huge hangfire

Correction: Terrible idea- Extreme Alpine Avalanche Hazard today. High at both treeline and below!

Parks Canada - Avalanche Bulletin - Glacier National Park - Tue Jan 14, 2014

Go play in a meadow!

If your wondering why I posted Glacier National Park its because its probably the most relevant info for that area as it is 10-20km south of the pass.

Took a rip into Silent today and conditions were great. Going to break into the Mines tomorrow.
Haven't been many slides in Quartz this year.... go there !

 

[RaspberryNytro]

Trail up was great with about 1 or more of fresh. Parked at 23. Logging at 19km.
Windblown and hard from willows past the waterfall. The small valley to the next climb was a little short on snow. Good climb next but lots of rocks bare at the top. Scooted through the next valley below the glacier and then played a bit in the meadow before breaking up through the trees.
Wicked day ..... just 3 of us. Put 105km on that day and new XM rocked and has surpassed my expectations.

Thanks RN for setting the trail off the meadow.

Silver Mines was a disappointment today. The snow is way down from normal and what is there is all windblown and hard. The logging roads were the highlight of the day.

There were slides in the usual places across the trail from earlier in the week and one unusual one in the valley past the glacier. We saw nothing moving today. It wasn't as sunny as predicted though.

Trail in was good, trail out was choppy in sections. Everyone should remember trail manners for this area and reframe from hooping the throttle to much. Every bump is felt for the entire season. Snow was good, and most all avy have come down.

That really sucks! I have done sled recover in the mines myself and the waterfall is normally a show stopper. Wish I would have known more hands maybe needed, would definitely come out to help.

Trail out getting quite whooped now.... Was nice going in, but beatup now.....

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Your right Ric, with out snow and of course all the riders with heavy thumbs have left the trail in rough shape.

Bastages. A week ago it was mint.

 

[MP Kid]

TTT. Update anyone?

 

[RaspberryNytro]

might go back in again, around the 10th or 11th...

 

[RaspberryNytro]

Trail in is really getting beat up and pretty hard packed along the way. Was like Spring conditions with freezing trail in the mornings and hard on the sliders and heat temps...
Snow up at elevation was Epic for 2 days but really starting to get heavy and wet by the end of yesterday. Unbelievable bluebird days and no tracks until 3 of us broke in again on Monday and then 6 of us on Tuesday. Some of the best riding I've had(along with Saturday in Revy) In a long time !!!
