There is still logging going on up the Britton FSR so thats why the continued plowing. not sure how much longer, but they typically shut things down by the end of nov due to the snow.
2009-2010 Coq conditions!

was up there today. rode up henning and into the superbowk and out the other side. lots of snow didnt hit anything. 4 feet? then we rode around the back of henning and out to 10k. if you dont mind riding the road(we had it good because there was 4" of frech on the freshly plowed road) 10k is great. we made it all the way to the cabin but didnt have enough daylight to go any further. i dug down right beside the cabin where it looked the deepest and it was only about 3 feet deep.
hope this helps!

Logging
There will be continued logging up the Britton FSR (8km on Tulameen FSR) until probably the end of November. You can expect to meet logging trucks during any time of the day Monday thru Saturday. They will be plowing out a small area at the 8km junction for a turnaround, but there will not be enough room for many to park. If you are planning on riding up 10k area, please be aware that it is illegal to snowmobile on plowed Forest Service Roads (let alone extremely dangerous) and that there is limited parking at the back.
As a note, logging is also active on Thynne Mtn as they are salvaging the fire that occurred in the area this past summer Both the Thynne FSR and Brook Creek Road will be plowed until at least early December at which time the logging will finish off the Brook Creek road and it will be available for snowmobile use. Until that time there is limited parking along the plowed roads and hauling is active between Monday and Saturday.
I believe that the Ministry of Forests will be monitoring both areas and ticketing people found snowmobiling down plowed forestry roads. Please think safety, a snowmobile is no match for a logging truck, or even a pickup for that matter.

Up there today, skiing not sledding tho (i dont like to sled solo)
an obscene amount of snow to be totally honest. i probed around the cabin and got about 170 cm sooo thats like what 5 feet and change. Heavy wet snow so its packing down into an amazing base. Just heads up tho as there is a lot of snow that fell this past week and with it being that heavy watch the slopes!!! no need for a repeat of revy yesterday
have fun

Saturday the 21st
Rode Lawless Creek fsr out to 15k and into Henning up the backside. A good 6 feet in the alpine. Tried to ride into 10k from the back on 24k. Too deep to get in. Great start to the season. FYI the road was not plowed in from the rest area although there were trucks and loggers in there working.

Was up today.
The logging road to 10k was plowed from Britton Creek and in use.
Went over the top of Henning and down the backside to see if we could get into 10k that way, but no luck. Road is plowed.
Played around in real heavy snow. It was quite warm all over the mountain.
Cheers.
