[S.W.A.T.]

I've heard from a few guys its adding up quikly with a good hard base. I missed a ride last sunday but there have been guys bombing around for a couple weeks.

seams to me there was alot more this time last year

 

[whitegold]

There was!! We were sledding a good week earlier, and with 2 - 3' more snow... oh well.... it's coming!

 

[whitegold]

So we went out today... but we didn't do the microwave, but we broke out the trail into Sinclair.... took us most of the day, but it has to be done at some point anyway. At the cut block there was about 2 1/2' .... but by the time we finally broke into the entrance bowl we were pushing 4 - 5' It was a bit of a stuck fest but oh so worth the powder in the bowl!!!

I could imagine the first break could be pretty nasty! A few of us went up with Clayton a couple years ago and there was a couple feet of fresh to break after the cut block and and pow over the hood at the cabin and it was grueling day but it was a lot of fun. I guess it's time to start getting the sled out.

anyone up for a ride saturday? there's a few of us from my area that wanna ride telkwa.

 

[whitegold]

I can't help ya there... I'm heading south ( the Caribbean!! ) for a couple of weeks (ya I know.... life sucks : ) ) but if you go to the parking lot at 19 km I'm sure there will be lots of people heading up the Microwave.... there was lots last weekend. If you decide to head into Sinclair make sure to take along your avalanche gear as the snow was already sliding in the entrance bowl. Also, try to take care of the trail heading up there.... if you trough it please fix it up again for the next guy. Thanks, and let us know how it goes....

 

[lane3030]
