Last day up Par Berry. Still found some decent lines. And we managed to get stuck a few times.
Came across a monster Avy on the way out and stopped by to make sure all was good. 2 guys buried and rescued. Sleds were twisted. Those are 2 VERY LICKY guys
2 fractures. The bottom one sheared at the rock the debris pile was massive !
Be careful out there and choose your terrain very carefully. This one could have been a lot worse.

Weekend was nothing but great in coulees and salmon. Wondering if anyone happened to grab a small mtn addiction jerry in salmon yesterday? Came off the rails on the groomed trail coming out.

Salmon and I'm pretty sure Groundhog won't be rest of the season. Another entrance into salmon is being worked on

Pushing a right away from foam to kilometre 13 on Finn, is what I was told. Why they can't log this area in summer I'm not sure.

It's industry, bean counters couldn't care less about us.......

Pretty sure industry probably built the road that we use that allows us to even access these areas .... yah it sucks but its bound to happen from time to time.

Wet belt, likely need freeze-up to get the equipment around in it and for roads to hold together.

Exactly. Almost all sledding access in BC is due to logging roads.

Talked to the guy that is running the grader up there yesterday and he was saying that once the road is cleared, he is to put a secondary trail in for sledders to be able to access the riding ares in groundhog and salmon. Road is being plowed to 15 km mark and trail from Foam access is at about the 12km mark.

Did they happen to know when that would be? Considering going out that way this weekend

 

[chickenman]

assuming as soon as they're done plowing that they will be working on the secondary trail. but not sure on the access from foam side

 

[Skidoomiles]

So, is there going to be two new trails or just one off of the foam trail?
