I spend alota time on google earth looking for sled and snowboard terrain and bluewater makes me drool. I also scoped it from the lookout above suzan lake which is at 1682m and looks right up the bluewater drainage. buddy agreed it looked perfect. However the road in is in very poor shape and I wouldn't want anyone other than experts in the crew for that mission.
the slide in the above vid of hope runs several times each season. when I was in there in late june 2012 it was still a good 15ft deep across the road. my logger buddy says they used to blast it to get it open for logging each spring. many of those start zones can't be seen from the road!
I'm told hope is almost garenteed to have phat fresh snow. good snow fall totals and very very few punters
The slide in the vid above is not from Hope Crk. its from a little bit farther up the B-Road...... LOL
