2011-2012 torpy/mcgregor riding season

[mountainmonster]

We were in the torpy area hunting yesterday and the hills are looking pretty good, even the roads are snow covered. They are logging around 15km, and doing road maintenance as far as the trappers cabin. Hopefully they keep the road plowed for part of the winter.

 

[tavis43]

that would be sweet for sure. did you go up to the snowmobile cabin?

 

[Blaster]

I heard there was a slide up there this year?

 

[thunder44]

I also heard the road was washed out at 15km on the Pass rd? Can anyone confirm this. Would like to take a drive out that way and check out conditions but not if the rd is washed out. I heard the wash out was not even passable on quads?????

 

[mountainmonster]

There is a washout but it's not at 15km, i turned around at the 23km bridge on the pass lk rd. Some friends hunting cut a trail around it for quads and they did winch a 4runner through as well. It must be one of the culverts closer to 28km that washed out.

 

[thunder44]

Thanks for the update!!! Might try and go out this weekend, just to check it out.

 

[mountainmonster]

Let us know how things look, a few of us are going to try it out on the 11th or 12th.

Road is washed out at 26 klm they are going to put a bridge in and is to be in by the end of january
sounds lke we will have very little road riding this year 13 klm to the good stuff

 

[mountainmonster]

That would be nice for change, thanks for the info.

Thinking of a trip with quads on sunday, Maybe cut some fire wood for the cabin. I guess if the road isn't fixed yet there will be no early season riding.

Awe you mean no more moguls for 40km. I'm sure NOT going to miss that. Thanks for the info.

On another note......... I see in all the other riding areas everyone updates quite regularly. There are alot of people on here from Prince George, lets try and keep the updates going. I know we all get busy .

Prince George and area have some of the greatest riding areas and I know we would like to keep it to ourselves but without some more support I am worried about losing more great riding areas. And it all has to start somewhere!!!!!

Sorry about the rant.

Just a headsup for those that ride this area, PGSC has a new website: Prince George Snowmobile Club

It's also time to renew your memberships, so follow the link on the website to "Join the Club". It is cheaper for a family membership this year as well!

I just found out tonight that 1 died in a avalanche in the first bowl today. A PG resident. I won't mention a name until it's been confirmed. This really sucks.

Play safe everyone.
