We decided for this weekend to sled at Queest due to high Avy conditions.Parking is at the bottom of the mountain and they have started grooming the trail up. As this snow was the first major dumpping there was not much base. Tree riding ment being stuck but we did a lot anyways. We did manage to make it to Queest Lake and we were rewarded with some fantastic climbing.I have never in the past had a rough time riding out in any direction but this time you had to work to get out on the longer climbs.
A word of warning the lake has not froze up properly so be careful as we did go through the ice in a few spots.
Most rocks and stumps are covered up so we had no issues just fun. I do have a sore back from one cut block we tryed to climb with everyone getting stuck on stumps and logs.So stay out of cut blocks.
Playing in the trees was lots of fun but once again awful hard on the back as we were all getting stuck in about 4-5 feet of fresh heavy baseless snow.
As always we had fun at Queest with the end of the day bevies at the cabin. This is by far one of the nicest cabins I have ever been too that has propane lighting and one of the best wood stoves ever built with plenty of hooks and racks for drying.Its a very nice place to take the family.
Cheers,
Dave
