Coquihalla 2012/2013

[sledgreg]

went up yesterday, after the big snow fall. only 2 tracks into henning.
lots of fresh snow, however there isnt much of a base so there were a few stucks.

Peanut bowl had some rocks still exsposed near the top, but the three of us never made contact with anything.

headed towards the spearing bowl but wifes sled had some clutching issues so we turned around and headed for home.

Lots of powder over the hoods and winsheilds. A very good ride for the first of the eason

Skipping school to go sledding tomorrow, still unsure of the area we'll be riding however ill be sure to post a few pics aswell as a gopro vid!

Rode 10K today. Not bad snow in the trees but hard or windblown elsewhere. Still better than school!

[DAKOTAKIDD]

[Diesel99]

100cm new at the Coq lakes thats 40in hope i can make it out of the parking lot.

 

[classic-indy]

Any body going up who wouldn't mind if I tagged along??? Looks like my riding buddy could be working on his sled this weekend. I've got all the avi gear, and I'm self sufficient. Would be great to get out and see another riding area.

Anyone go riding today? How was the snow? I know there hasn't been any fresh in a long time but just want to know if it has warmed up on top? Inversion?

 

[RandyC]

We rode Deer Mtn./Lodestone area between Coquihalla and Tulameen on Jan. 18th and it wasn't the greatest. Snow was really windblown and hard in a lot of places and lacking snow. Lots of stumps still showing or barely covered. Pray for snow. -7 in the valley at Tulameen and around 0 degrees up top.

 

[BigPoo]

Anyone been up lately? How are conditions? We are riding the coq on Saturday

 

[Jon Mutiger]

Does the snowpack up around the coke have that same weak layer in it that is affecting the sea to sky area now?

The sea to sky corridor is too high risk for me right now.

[DAKOTAKIDD]

I am not sure but check the avy info.. It will tell ya there.

Sea to Sky vs. South coast Inland

 

[BigPoo]

Was riding the coq on Saturday and triggered many small slides and this big one. Nobody buried but even the smallest slopes are sliding, be careful out there!
