so anyone whos been up to kakwa recently is it worth heading up with a new sled yet or should i try and stay patient and wait a little longer? i read on the swan city website that its groomed into bc now but the creeks are still open.
just got back from kakwa. trails in good shape, real crusty snow in the bowls and lots rocks around. was still a fun trip with nothin broke.

Rode Kakwa today.
Rained on us during way in, fortunately turned to snow at lake. Snowed 2ft of heavy wet snow while breaking trail to LaGlace Lake, about 3ft of fresh snow in the general area.
On way back out, trail around Stinking Springs for about 3 miles is slush on top of dirt.
Hopefully we get some cold weather soon.

Just an update everyone, got back from kakwa last night Jan. 12th and the road around two lakes is in good condition,its snow packed now and with 4x4 locked in and proper speed we had no problems around the lakes or the stetson, be careful at kilometer 108-111 very icey and wind blown, the parking lot is like a skating rink and the trail is hard packed and icey for the first few miles.
where do we get tickets from, we are from dawson and would support that for sure.
