next week and was wondering where is the easy/best place to buy an out of state sticker? Will be coming down from Lewiston way. So Grangeville, New Meadow or McCall - where? thanks
Going to McCall
- Thread starter slederchic
- Start date
Paul's grocery, once you get into town on the right, can't miss it. I have been getting them there. Winter is just getting going here, you will have a good time.
thanks dev
for the info. 1st time down coming down there. We are from north central WA state. Any places we should avoid - avy areas and such? We are experienced riders, like to boondock, but don't have to find the really steep stuff just to see who can make the high mark. But do like to go off the groomed trail. thx Can't wait. It will be good weather -right?

You'll enjoy McCall, it's a fun place to boondock. We will either ride out Francis Wallace sno-park and then take the first left road and go up the hill and play around over there. Other sno-park that we ride out of is Goose Creek (Brundage) and head over to the reservoir. We have played in many other places but at least this will give you a start. Do get a map, that will help you out.
Have fun!
Have fun!
There are lots of other good places too. 
Snow is getting beat up by wind/sun/temps. Went from hard crust and thin layer to super deep today, sometimes right next to each other. Lots of pockets of deep. Get as high as you can, snow is pretty hard below 7000 feet unless you find those pockets out of the sun. Zero tracks today other than the 7 of us, nobody else even in the parking lot. (Brundage and Wallace lots are zoos.) The groomed trail out of Warren yesterday was pretty hard, passed a melting Yamaha on the way out and the stench of burning hifax was in the air, lol. Fresh snow last night ranged from 1/2 inch at the bottom to breaking trail in 6" on the road at the top.
Weather is always a guess. Was supposed to be storming/snowing today and it was mostly sunny.
Haven't seen any avalanche stuff this year, and we sliced stuff up pretty good on the steep today. I think if we get a good dump it would get pretty bad though, lots of low/hard snow areas where the wind blows.

Better do your snow dance. Its not going to be great snow again, until we get another good storm that dumps a foot or more.
I rode both days this weekend in McCall area. . . . Sat. from Brundage lake to Hazard Lake. Then Sun. between fisher creek and granite lake. Saturday the snow was great but visibility was horrible. Sunday the visibility was great but the snow was heavy and wet due to the high temps. It was still soft and very easy to carve, climb, boondock in. I'm guessing it is fairly firm and frozen with a pretty good crust on it by now after it has been so warm the last few days, then the low nighttime temps that followed.
This weekend is supposed to be back up in the mid to upper 40s in McCall, so even the higher elevations will be above freezing most likely. North facing slopes might still have some good pow, but finding it (untracked) will be a challenge. It just really needs to get cold again and snow a foot or two, to be attractive to me.
Have fun up there! That area is incredible to ride in, if you know where to go.
Cheers!

There is PLENTY of deep untracked left, we saw it all day yesterday. A month after the last storm, when it didn't snow for a month, there was a ton of untracked left, you just have to get away from those big lots and get away from the normal places that everyone knows about. There is so much here that people don't realize is here, it is ridiculous. And a lot of it is JUST off the beaten path, behind a stand of trees or hill. Not kidding, 50 miles yesterday, only tracks were ours. (Other than the roads in.) 50 on Monday, same thing. 50 on Sunday, same thing. All three times different areas. Hell, the guys are up there now prepping a dead sled for a helicopter ride, the snow is too deep to tow it out!

Careful this week in the McCall area, the super warm weather this week hardened things up, even up high. There are areas of basically ice, wind blown and super slick. We had a high speed descent through trees coming down, buddy took all the loose off the top and left me an ice run, lol. Thought I was going to leave some Cat orange on some trees. And we are getting a large amount of snow on top of it now, probably a foot from this morning up high over what was there when it was warm yesterday, and calling for snow all week.
Short ride today, one of those days when you get vertigo just sitting there or slowly moving, because you cannot see anything. Like driving head first into a marshmallow, lol.
Funny thing, there is STILL some deep up there in areas where the sun didn't kill it and the wind drops it. Well over a foot of fresh on the areas we destroyed last Wed!
