Is it Hope creek?
is dewers off the bush fsr? what km#?
Just a disclaimer cause I'm getting quite a few people asking. I'd be happy to show people around back here. Tons of riding back there from Hope, to prattle , chatters, dewers ext... Very Remote,,, Dangerous roads,, extreme Avalanche conditions. If you've road back here you know what I'm talking about. If you've only been riding a couple years. Not the place for you. It not a big secret place,, most people just get scared and don't want to come back. If you are a competent rider (ie getting stuck in some of these places is NO good) and have a fairly high risk tolerance (ie you don't have 5 kids and a wife depending on you for food) by all means any time Pm me we'll set up a ride cause I'm down
What he said ^^^^. Don't think for a second that just because you read about it on the internet that this area is rideable for the majority of the backyard bobs. This is huge country and huge risk in many of these areas, take some advice and get a clue before blindly following sled tracks off some comments on a sled forum. Logic like that will get you in trouble. To give you an idea, the avy cycle that ran through this area last spring produced some debris piles that could be seen over the tops of the trees when driving on the main road, we're talking 50-60+ ft deep. If you think I'm a over-reactor or some kind of zealot, I have some vid clips of an avy run out zone that cut a half pipe 100 ft across and 20-25 ft deep right through a road, and ran out well beyond the base of the zone. Nothing you would ever have a chance of living through. I will try and get them posted up soon.
Ride safe kids.
Closest thing to a class5 avalanche ive ever seen was in the very first bowl that you cross at Hope creek. Chunks of snow the size of apartment buildings.... One day we trigger around 100 Avy's.... My Dad, who got me into sledding and showed me Hope creek,,, never went sledding again after that day
Is that the guy who broke his legs back there a few years back?? S&R dug a guy out couple years back at Hope and he was 15m under the snow. I respect your position and that's why I put my little disclaimer cause this place isn't for everyone.Yeah, that hill in Hope slides most years, if you want a story about it ask one of the members here, they can tell you about their experience. It would make lots of people think twice about their level of risk exposure that most are oblivious to. The remoteness and size of the BR road area are too significant to ignore. I have a family waiting for me at home.
Yep good call,, Don't try to Ride on KinbasketAnother good thing to point out in this area is never ever cross the ice on kinbasket lake up the Bush arm! Been going to Hope for many years and seen where the lake level has dropped and the ice is hanging up in thin air, lake levels change too much!
Agreed, this is great area, huge, but very remote!
I tryed to get into bluewater last summer but they pulled out all the colverts and 2 bridges, damn there is some epic sledding terrain that should have been realitively easy to get to from that road. but that road scared me in summer.
oh the problems of a first world nation ...
