Going down Tues, how is the snowpark?
anyone ride St Helens this weekend?
- Thread starter snowman
- Start date
Great snow
The snow was amazing this weekend...a couple feet of fresh that packed pretty well (helps out when you get stuck
). The parking area was full but didn't see that many sleds up there. We rode up to the plains but could have played in the flats all day. It was definitely a day where you'd use all your gas and then some and quite possibly blow a belt. The trails were groomed to the washout on Saturday evening but from there out was nasty moguls. No one even attempted Pine Creek and there were very few tracks up above. Should be some good riding...wish I was going

It was definitely a day where you'd use all your gas and then some and quite possibly blow a belt. The trails were groomed to the washout on Saturday evening but from there out was nasty moguls.

Should be some good riding...wish I was goingis it clear back to the snopark now? or is parking still on the road? i forgot what it's like to have groomed trails(not that its matters)

Amen on the diesel! CMRMK, as far as I know, you can get to Lone Butte. They plowed the roads Saturday night. Follow that link Blackout posted, it has somewhat current conditions. You could also call the Mt Adams Ranger District @ (509) 395-3400 to find out for sure.

As far as I know, there are no plans to plow it. Still an awful lot of snow in the lot and on the road as you get up higher. There's just not any $ in the Skamania County budget for it...hell they didn't even plow from the county line to Northwoods until Saturday night.
Huh, that sounds familiar...it was a good day though, 15 gallons wasn't enough.
Went yesterday. One other group was coming in while we were going out. We made the only tracks out on the Plains. Tried to climb the mountain....way too much powder! Very nearly epic conditions! Too bad we had to leave early....brought three extra cans of gas and the sleds started dying up at the Plains around 3 pm....had just enough left in the cans to make it out. Fogged in all the way until halfway up Lahar, and then it got great. I have pics, but don't know how to post them on this new format. Don't have a photobucket account yet either. Guess you will have to use your imagination for now. Just close your eyes and see lots of powder and sunshine....
Tomorrow 10:00 83/90. Any one else?
incredible day today
it was warm up there today,blue skys and epic snow, got a lil heavy towards the end of the day. tons of untouched area and loads of cornice etc.
Belts and gas were in high demand.
