Anyone know Blewett Pass/Reecer snow conditions?

[IGBT]

Was thinking of going to Ronald but Last Resort is booked. We are now curious if the Blewett Pass/Reecer/Table mtn. trails have any snow or grooming started. Anyone know?

Went up Reecer yesterday, you can drive to the gravel pit. There is a base with some new on top. We did a lot of off the trail riding but were really careful. Here's a photo but it's at a lower elevation.

BTW, no grooming and the road close signs are not up.

There is new snow but it's only about 12-14" deep, not enough to get off trail too much imo. Ride the fields and upper prairies.

I tried to get up Reecer a week ago today (Monday) and it was too icy. Even 4WD and Studs......Wondering if the Rock slide is drifted over if I launch from the top of Blewett? Any Intel?

Guess I should explain, been riding there for over 44 years. After a while you get to know where you can go when the snow is sketchy. If you ride in the burnt areas it’s pretty safe. Be aware of the creeks, had a good rain and thaw so they can sneak up on you. We rode 40 miles, about 95 percent was off trail.

Mission Ridge claims they got 17" in the last 24 hours, so there might be a bit more up there. If the road is icy it can be a bitch getting up there.

From the Blewett side, heard the rock slide area had most snow drifted off it by the wind, so long stretch of ice and gravel through that sketchy section

Was up last weekend just before the big rains.....Icy and whooped out....Not enough snow yet for the groomer......The downed trees from the fire are an issue going cross-country......

A Friend called the FS today....Expect it to be more icy than it was.....Can't start grooming till more snow....

GRR, this better not turn out like last year, where the winter was over before it started.

I checked the forecast and seems like nothing for the next 7 days.

I am going to put tires on my snowmobile.

Is this the same area they call Lions Rock? Im fairly new to the area and drove up a couple weeks ago to a place I was told called Lions Rock. I turned around in a large gravel pit after helping someone else get unstuck. It's behind Receer Creek though. Just wondering! If we get some fresh snow, I would love to go for a ride up there with someone who knows the area!!

Yes, Go Hawks! Great place to ride but I'm biased cause I grew up killing and catching stuff in the area, helps to have peeps at the bottom of the hill as well

 

[Phizzer]

Awesome! Hawks game at 5!!! Receer is like behind my house, if we only had some good snow!!!

 

[sidehil]

You need to meet the crowd, your close and we do have a hazing ceremony that you have to survive,))) just kidding

 

[Phizzer]

haha! Hey, I understand if I have to PAY MY DUES!!! Grew up in a small town in Alaska so I know what it's like riding with the "new guy"!! Hopefully we get some snow, if you we do let me know when you guys go out!

 

[sidehil]

AK peeps are always family)

 

[sidehil]

I will give you a pm so you can ride us for sure! GoHawks

We were going to go yesterday but with the warm weather we decided to wait and hope it snows. I will PM you when we go again.
