holy crap, you guys riding out there yet? if you gettin that at the ski hill, thunder water has to be awasome right now

 

[pano-dude]

there have been guys out riding, mostly on this big chunk of ice.

not enough coverage for me for me until now. Gonna go for a rip this weekend that's for sure!

i'm not sure thunderwater is rideable, might not be enough ice. i've heard over a meter of snow at the cabin but it's been so warm nothing is frozen underneath. the meadows are still wet if you trench through the snow.

Didnt think you could ride on that chunk of ice?

anymore snow over night?

Sure looks a lot different in the summer! I guess that's the difference between can and should. You can ride up there but the law says you shouldn't!

It just occurred to me this is likely Jumbo Glacier not Catamont... Looks like a vehicle in the foreground, I don't think you would get a vehicle that close to Catamont.

i know which one it is but when is it open to sledder?

jumbo is far from here

 

[pano-dude]

I don't know if there is an official date, usually before and after heli ski season.
Heli operation may not be flying in there in the near future

 

[oler1234]

why is that? going out of business?

 

[pano-dude]

no, possibly some ski lift developement
