Great day out there. Ran into your group ray. Bridge river glacier to Stanley smith glacier was unreal. Love it out here.

After a lot of bitching the problem seems to be resolved. Parking is now at the big lot just past the 3KM mark. For all you guys that like riding in May and June you need to let the club know that you would like the lot up at 5KM to start being plowed out. The groomer can easily do this a bit at a time and it would be cleared and dried out by the time the snow on the road melted up to it. Let the Club President know your views. Call Albert at 604-894-6442.

If your heading up Bridge punch your truck up to 17Km and avoid a lot of gravel.

Updates on snow conditions please... will be up this week, how's the parking?

 

[RGM]

Going to piss rain all week so I imagine the snow line is going to move up. We where unloading at 3KM on Saturday and I would think 4Km or higher by next Saturday. Big problems is this rock has come down preventing the groomer getting by. looks like grooming is done for the season and you have about 19KM of whoops to ride. emails this guy to find out what going to be done about it

Snow between 11 and 12Km on the rutherford is stopping trucks getting through. 5KM of gravel after the snow. Might be able to punch through in a couple of days.

How is it from the old miners camp to the cabin?

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

Rode this past weekend ... brohm unload at 5.5k, snow all the way to the top.. brandy unload fairly early after the upper lot, go down avy alley and won't see dirt. go up to the meadow and there are small patches.

some serious avy debris down avy alley though .. made my balls shrink a little !!!

Going to try and drive up to the miners camp tommorow. There will be small patches of gravel on the last hill before the trees with all the cross ditches.

 

[RGM]

Unloading at 19KM now up the Rutherford ( last hill before the trees) 100' of gravel is all you have to ride. Snow bridges are still OK in spots.

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

tried to get up brohm yesterday .. unloaded at ~6k, after a short patch of snow there was miles of gravel .. had to turn around. .. either punch through the snow at 6 or wait till it melts
