You might be better off getting that advice face-to-face in Revelstoke. Not a lot of people are gonna post on here. 10 years ago 51 had a pretty smooth trail. These days it has whoops bigger than the dunes of Oregon

Also, be advised Sol mountain area is mostly Monashee Provincial Park combined with a ski area. Be sure you make yourself aware of the closure, and ski terrain prior to any snowmobiling in that area.

Went there 15 years ago or so. 26 miles of 3' moguls. Each way. Never went back.

Ya the moguls are brutal. I use to be able to ride moguls really fast, too old for that now. Lol

Hello and welcome to Snow & Mud!
That's an interesting first post. Perhaps you wish to introduce yourself to the community.

Yup, the back way in is way shorter and a lot smoother that's for sure.

These are the days that make you want to get back there, even on the shitty trail

Yes,,, its well worth the efforts once yha reach the top...

All of area 51 and all of Renshaw,,, of course the many wild cat areas are worth it too

Go Extrem trail riding opens the doors too good times

Where do you have to go, to take the back way up? We always went down to just before Shelter Bay and ride in. Did see other vehicles parked along side of the road traveling down, always thought they were going into Mt. Hall area.

There isn’t a back way in. I was just funnin. There used to be lots of short cuts up, but the trees have grown in. I think the willows are going to be the end of that area in the next few years.

I’ve also heard of this back way before. Last year we tried a different way up but the snow was too low to punch though We were dang close tho.

There is always a back door… its just a little rougher ride.

 

[oler1234]

Back door is by a lodge. If you know where the lodge is, head straight north and you’ll be at area 51
