Following Carl Kuster into the nether regions of Eagle Pass. Lol. I remember going into Glenogle years ago and will never go there again. Its a death trap with 26 active avy paths on the main trail going in. Going in the back way of Lions Head at West Yellowstone is tricky as well.

The back end of Beaver Creek, especially if there's some fresh pow.

The first rule of riding Joss is you don't tell people about Joss.

as for glenogle, I was scared just driving my truck in there in summer! I call it "avy valley"
that first decent way the fark above the creek with crazy slide paths on a narrow trail !
the sled shops told me about the place but highly recommend NOT going in there coz if it slides you may not be going home that night.
then the trail climbs quite a ways up and goes thru the middle of a high cut block? hello mega avy ...
no they are not keeping it to themselves, I know where they ride and that aint it.

the road is maintained to the 14km bridge, but i drove my truck to the 17km mark and the road was so overgrown, then we walked over avy debri, wash outs and it was just getting worse and worse. the alpine was probably only 8km away but with the logging roads being on the side of the mtn I doubt it would be passable, strait up the creek seemed a better option on a deep snowpack.
this is not one of my secret stashes, and I really hope some one can get in there again as the terrain looks phat!
google earth it, the whole area is a dream come true and not that long of an approach really, its just the axcess that has me stumped.
it must have been fun in 2005 when they were actively loggin back there ...

Anywhere the snow is deep, and the hills are steep

The river crossing is always fun early season...

Eagles pass used to be an experienced riders only area. Back, when we considered the waterfall the ONLY access and if you couldn't make that, you shouldn't be in there! Was ALWAYS an adventure riding in there every weekend before it was known about by more than a few hardcore locals.

My exact words about Glenogle,.... "Death trap" was in there in late 90's and i like Exploring more than most,but FK that place!! unless we were really missing something???
Comming out of the Dore and finding 40ft high avy debris blocking the trail can be challenging.

i figured up the creek would be the only way in,BUT the climb would be a loooong time exposed on both sides...
i was there long before Google earth so at the time it was topo maps, but have looked at it a few times since, and for anyone reading this, do what ever blows your hair back but I just don't think the place is worth the risk!! My two bits!!

Possibly even Saskatchewan...no one rides there anyways. It's a trail ride. ;)

Trails, any trails where ars "HOs" ride too fast and on wrong side.
Thats challenges anyone enough in trying to avoid collisions.
Any where else is just plain fun......but then i don't know, i just a trail rider.
