Hi guys,
It s my first year snowmobiling and I am looking forward for day #1.
looks like brohm ridge is the first spot to get snow.
I try to check out the access last week end and ended up driving up the northern one of the two road. I got "lost" on few dead end and stopped at the top by the lack of bridge across one of the main drainage.
Back to the base I realized that I took the wrong road. I got confused by a board stating this road at the brohm ridge access and stating that it was open to snowmobile.
I just had enough time left to found the second way up the hill starting at Cat lake itself but didn't made it up.
So here are couple questions:
The northern road was not in too bad shape for my truck but I don't know if I would take my older trailer on it. It's in decent shape but have seen many winters and if it s not a rust bucket there is still rust all over. How strong those trailers are compare to a old pathfinder SUV?
From the map the main access road looks steeper. Is there massive cross ditches on it?
Second question is about parking. Since the snow level is a moving features, where do you park or even more simply where do you do a u-turn? Is there a particular parking etiquette to respect?
What is the minimum snow altitude required for a noob to make it to the ridge?
Thanks
