Eagle Valley / Sicamous Updates 2016/17

[Jjanke]

Yes I know that but turtle and boulder are fairly close to each other I believe so it may be posibble to get there.

Turtle and Boulder have a large valley between them. Not doable especially this time of year

Access from boulder parking lot to the kirkup trail, then access to turtle front way or back way. Work your way over to eagles pass. Do not attempt with out a guide or someone who has made this trek before!!!
Be careful out there gents. Lots of stuff starting to slide two weeks ago.

Headed up owls today - unloaded between 10 and 11 k - headed up toward owls cabin then headed toward ecco - made our way down to ecco lake and played abit - we then headed back out and we were gonna cut across toward bob bart but due to the north face sliding decided not to drop in - we headed around and out then headed toward blue lake - we went up short cut and into meadows - dropped down into lower meadows - snow was very soft - had bit of frrsh over night - did a prob with 9ft prob and the as far as i could reach with my arm - didnt hit bottom - we then headed south lower meadows and made our way into some back bowls - eventually came back out on ridge and headed to blue cabin - had lunch - we then headed back onto trail and headed to owls - made our way over to bob bart and over saddle into ecco bowl - had look at slide - then made our way into video and then superbowl , over ridge toward stach and then toward mount mara - headed up top for a look c and then the weather came in and started snowing hard - headed through morton and back to cabin ! Theres still alot of snow but the water starting to flow pretty good in some of the creeks ! Was a great day - put on just under 100k today !

Ya that's what I meant as well. The road was not two rough on the s x S but I think from 7k to 11 it will be teeth ratallin with the truck. My neighbor wants to go up on the summer toys tommorow tempted to try the blue access just to see if it would be less rough of a ride for the trucks

Bluelake road is great till like 20 km where we parked at the first ride of the year

Owlshead road is so fawking bad, unfortunately I'm not into logging but they need a logging company to do some up there and fix that road up

The connector trail between Owlhead and Blue Lake is still useable? Road going up the 11.5 K wasn't to bad? We're heading in there today.

Great day indeed. With just enough excitement
Still lots of snow left in the higher region, but along the trail to owl chalet, the creeks in the meadows are opening up quickly. Also the creek crossing the trail in the trees is aggressively chewing/washing away at the packed snow above it.

Rode Blue Lake yesterday. Only sledders on the mountain until late afternoon when a couple showed up for a late day ride. Staged at 16 K on Cummins Road and rode less that 200 yards of dirt. Good snow yet for3 weeks into May and outstanding weather yesterday!
