Baker Lake

[nwbase]

Anybody know if Baker lake snow park road is open? W/ all the closures I would hate to drive there and find out the road is closed. Talked with the brew pub and they said lake tyee has 4' of snow but didn't know about the rest of the road.

Please post up wanna go ride the meadow tomorrow.......

Thanks to alot of volunteer work Construction Unlimited the rd is being cleared all weekend. Sense the state is out of funds.

As of today---The road off of the highway has NOT been plowed as of this evening.
There is parking for about 10 rigs if they do not have trailers--the snow on the road is real sloppy---had a truck stuck with a sled bed about 1/2 mile up the road today and he slid in the ditch and flattened the side of his truck--then had to chain up to get out and bounced from side to side trying to get out--really messed it up for the sledder's.
The cat is there for road clearing--but had not moved as of tonight.

There was a group camping in the first little turnout about 200 yards up the road and taking about 4 parking places with their tents plus their rigs--road is real sloppy with ice underneath past that point.

We parked right in front of the snowpark sign where you get right off the road--not much parking past that.

A few rigs parked on the paved road, if they don't plow the access road it could be the only alternative for busy weekends. I wonder if the forest service would give tickets for it?

H20SKE, Ya I was up today and nothing being cleared yet. But I know something is going to happen soon. Equipment was getting moblized on friday. Needs it bad!!!! Also there were about a dozen trees down.

We moved the cat in this afternoon, after riding. I am planning on moving the 892 John Deere in tomorrow. I did not get an over-weight permit on friday I wasn't sure how the road was. Doug and Ted are planning on starting on tuesday, HPI is working on chains for the grader, I am going to try to move it up later in the week. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated this involves alot of time (voluteer) and money,you can pm me or call me if you would like to make a donations to the NW Glacier Crusiers. This is a fund to keep our snow park open, if we all pitch in it helps!
A big thanks to Springbrook Nursery and Trucking for donation of the trucking for all the equipment. And the other volunteers that have helped so far.
